And that right there is everything that is wrong with US foreign policy. We
can easily do the right thing (not just in Iraq but everywhere) and don't. No
one, not even the politicians who want the war, (and by coincidence rather than
intention will make it at least a little better) are interesting in doing
what's right, it all boils down to the almighty dollar.
