ustwo - congratulations on your upcoming parenthood. after several months of reading your posts (and disagreeing 90% of the time) i would like to suggest a new thread. how do you picture his or her future? best and worst case scenarios.
is an american youth in 2020 going to be better off given current policy? compared to an iraqi kid born in the next few months?
no doubt this is a concern. IŽd honestly be interested.
and no, the iraqis are not better off. their lives will continue to get worse and worse. the afghanis lives are improving because without the taliban they have once again had a bumper opium crop. any rebuilding money is quickly sucked up and diverted to offshore accounts. the funds for iraq are being diverted to more security (meaning private contracts) for occupying (!) troops and guarding oil fields and pipelines.
the average iraqi picking turds out of their drinking water before boiling it 10 times are not better off. on the contrary. their great grandchildren will suffer from the arrogance, errors in judgement and delusions of grandeur of the current administration. and your great grandchildren will.....?
