Yeah, I seem to recall an arms buildup in “aggressive” Iraq to go invade the
US... oh wait, it was the opposite.

No, it was Iraq invading Iran AND Kuwait. Busy, busy.

You’re going to bring up something that happened in “the last millenium”? And
didn’t Dubya’s Pappy, with the world backing him up, mind you, take care of
that? And did ‘aggrassive’ Iraq do anything *lately* that would cause outrage
from the world such that the world would back a military action against it?
Nope.

Iraq wasn’t agressive at all--it was the US agressiveness--politically,
economically, and militarity--agressive on all fronts--ramming this war thru
no matter the cost or the consequences.
|
What is the cost? Didn’t cost you a thing. We paid for it, and gladly
so. The price for freedom was relatively cheap IMO. Consequences? Millions
have been liberated? You have a problem with that?
|
You didn’t pay it gladly--I saw the protests, I read the issues--the US didn’t
pay for this *gladly*. Maybe you, John Neal, paid for this fiasco gladly, but
many of your fellow Americans didn’t. And saying Iraq is liberated is putting a
political spin on it, doncha think? I hear the Iraqis want your armed forces to
leave--they don’t feel ‘free’. Just because you freed them from their former
oppressor, doesn’t mean you ‘freed’ them. Now they seem to be under your yoke
o’ burden...

Deal with it. Deal with your lying president. Deal with the unjustified US
agression. Deal with *every* reason given for this war to turn out to be
based on fallacy and lies. Deal with the ineptitude of the CIA and the FBI.
Deal with the removal of Constitutional rights in the name of ‘security’.
Deal with the idea that you have created more enemies than you got rid
of--SH may be in ‘hiding’ and/or dead, but it turns out that the religious
zealots want control of the newly ‘freed’ Iraq, and, further with this issue
are the new generations of Middle Easterners who now have yet one more
reason to dislike, maybe even hate the US.
|
Deal with the fact that an evil dictator who was in control of one of the
largest armies in the world is now deposed and 10,000,000s of people are
liberated from his tyranny. The greater good has been served here, and
history will look favorably upon this action.

No, history will not look on this fiasco favourably. Middle east history is
already being written in the wake of more terrorist attacks. American
Revisionist history may placate you, but world history will look on this ill
deed as it is--wrong and unjust.
The world didn’t stand with you because the world knew it for what it is--a
warmongering, oil loving, president--look at all the news lately--“Iraq’s oil
starting to flow within a few days”.
Yeah, forget the starving citizens, the shelled infrastructure--let’s get that
black gold going to all the corporations who put Dubya and Cheney where they are
today.
But you’ll just see the American Revisionism. It’s already starting to
show--less talk of WoMD, which was *the* lead-up reason for this war, to “Look
who we liberated--we’re vindicated!”
But revisionism only works for people who buy into it. The rest of us will
strive for the truth.
