Screw what old europe and the UN think-time to burn these bastards to the ground...
That time was on 12 September 2001
Burn the bastards? The bastards we are spending so much blood and gold to liberate? There's a tight circle of contradiction that's getting tighter by the day in Iraq.
Half of me says we're scr**ed on this and the other half just loses focus and has vague ideas of a better future. The people who hate us are the people we went to save. Can anyone offer me some realistic hope of antagonim against the US - from the people we are dying to save - decreasing over the next few years? I am not talking about WHY they should be grateful - we all know they should - but about the facts on the ground.
My kid's 17 and I guess this will be hanging over him until it's done with. Should I encourage him to enlist? To fight for what? People who want to kill him? I worry if this drags on he'll have to go over to credits for college. [Joke, but you know what I mean]
