For the love of God, or Allah, whoever is holding the reins now. It boils down to this: Dispense entirely with what the Oval office has said of the rationale for the war in Iraq. What of it has even the shade of truth to it? WMD? Rumsfield sez: They got rid of them before the War. Nevermind that Colin Powell catalogued the cannisters, amounts of sarin, empty warheads before the U.N.
Now George Bush throws this in: They took them with them when they retreated. What the fuck? Obviously they are lying entirely. So, the invasion was made for another reason. To free the Iraqi people of a violent dictator? Right. Nevermind the dozen or so worse regimes that we have put in place, during the 80's in Central America, Iran, and even Saddam Hussein himself.
The Belgians(sic) are saying that thousands of civilians were killed in Afghanistan and Iraq for what possible gain? They are calling Bush and Blair to account for their actions. It can't possibly come to fruition, he who has the gold makes the rules, and USA has all the cards. I applaud Belgium's collective balls, it takes alot to challenge THE power on the planet, when the underdog has little to gain.
