Well thank God you have been blessed with the powers of prophecy, Seaver.
Explain to me how you think you know that the Iraqi people will be better off from this.
Try explaining that to the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis. I'm sure they'll give you an enthusiastic response. The thing is you are imposing your own Western philosophies on people who aren't Western.
It may seem wrong to you that there are so many terrorists actively fighting against the United States military in Iraq, but I don't see you or anybody else I know rolling over in the case of an active invasion onto our soil.
The simple fact is, members of the current administration and their friends are making money off of our dead, and the dead Iraqis.
Our boys are dying in the streets of Iraq, some due to lack of body armor, for oil, money and a war president.
The fact is, there is scant evidence that September 11th was orchestrated by the Middle East, and there is no evidence it was done by Iraq. And the hypocrisy will continue until each and every one of the hundreds of third world despots are brought to justice. You don't see that happening in Africa when THOUSANDS were slaughtered, and I don't see that being the case in Kuwait 15 years ago.
North Korea has shown evidence they have nuclear weapons, and are launching missles into the sea of Japan. Now, I'm just going to throw this out here, but can you imagine if Iraq had done that?
Yet they didn't. And yet here we are, spending 300 000 000 dollars to private interests for a base in the middle east to expand our imperial domain. And I don't see anybody shocked as to the amount of oil in this country, either.
So to recap, many Iraqi civilians are dead and dying while others enjoy the same amount of power (talking kilowatts here) as in the Saddam era (Where's the beef, Halliburton?), and far less peace.
Mission Accomplished
