I totally agree with Joel's seeming fundemental point.
I read his words to mean - if you were against the war it is inconsistent to support what allied troops are doing in Iraq.
I thought it was wrong to go to war, because I was totally unconvinced that there was any real evidence of danger to anyne outside of Iraq. Now the allies have ripped the country a new asshole they've turned over every rock and found little that indicates the Iraqis could be a danger to a foreign country.
Admittedly, the Iraqi government regularly kidnapped people and tortured them, but what can you expect? They were trained by the CIA.
That's the point. The more I learn about the way the American government conducts itself the more I wonder that the real danger to the world is the US government.
This will be taken as controverial, but maybe the day that China can play on the world stage and hold back the US the world will be a safer place.
I agree with Joel that the americans would be better off not trying to police the world.
Trying to make the world safe with american troops is like herding cats - it wastes your time and upsets the cats.
