What a fool this guy is! Doesn't he know that liberals JUST KNOW better than everyone???? So he lived there--who cares? He was blinded by the Americans's unseen conniving. He probably never even read the New Yorker! How COULD he know the truth??!?!?!?!?!

At this moment, though, U.S. interests are doing more to bring about democracy and freedom in Iraq than, say, the policies of France and Russia—countries which also care little for the Iraqi people and, worse, did their best to save Saddam from destruction until the last moment.

They tried to save one man over millions, typical.

Observer2: You MUST be NUTS man. I ain't going to no Iraq to observe no elections. You want me DEAD ?!
Observer 1: Hang on a minute, I thought we were supposed to "Observe" the elections there. You know, making sure that no bad guys "cheat"..And ma....
Observer2: Listen man. Everyday 100s of Iraqis are killed by god damn Mickey Mouse & Capser and that other bad guy, what is his name, yeah Homer Simpsons.

Growing up in Atlanta, I could never understand how a brother could fight a brother during the Civil War.

Today, I now understand it.

Choices between good and evil, right and wrong, are personal. Blood relationships do not insure that other people within your own family will make the same choices.

Because of Iraq, I have made my choice. Sadly, many of the members my own family have supported Saddam and the continuation of Islamic hatred.

We no longer speak with each other.

"Choices between good and evil, right and wrong, are personal. Blood relationships do not insure that other people within your own family will make the same choices."

I think you make a brilliant observation. The Iraqi situation under Saddam is just an extreme version of what exists in many families today. It is the same old story of the vicious and the violent rising to the top through force, murder and intimidation.

In many ways, this is a sad story. The writer has discovered what too many people discover about leftists long after it's too late - they're big on rhetoric and pretty much nothing else.

At least he discovered it before he made a big mistake.

"It’s worth noting, as well, that the general attitude of peace activists I met was tension and anger. They were impossible to reason with. This was because, on one hand, the sometimes considerable risks they took to oppose the war made them unable to accept the fact that their cause was not as noble as they believed. Then, too, their dogmatic anti-American attitudes naturally drew them to guides, translators, drivers and Iraqi acquaintances who were themselves supporters of the regime. These Iraqis, in turn, affected the peace activists until they came to share almost the same judgments and opinions as the terrorists and defenders of Saddam."

The only conclusion one can come to concerning those who hate the freedom we have in America is that they do not feel personally safe unless they are the busom buddy of some kind of vicious dictator who will punish and oppress those who are different, even to the point of taking their lives. They are so insecure about their own ideas and life style that they cannot allow ANY example to remain which demonstrates a different way of living and thinking. They hate freedom which is not their own and the only way to achieve the kind of oppression they long for is through vicious dictators, which must be the reason they want protection for all the Saddam's in this world. I believe they see Saddam's Iraq as the solution to their inability to achieve for themselves a personal and private utopia..They do not comprehend the ongoing human price which will inevitably be paid for such oppression and eventually, as surely as they would victimize, they would themselves become victims.

I wonder if the writer has a clue about how his country was raped and pillaged by France, Germany, and Russia, and last but certainly not least, the UN. He knew about Saddam and his cronies, but the rest of the story takes some digging. Happily, there's the internet.

Wonder what he thinks of CNN being complicit in the torture so they could remain in Iraq spewing Saddam Hussein's lies to the rest of the world.

Same "humanitarians" are now lining up Saddam the best legal counsel. So Saddam can turn his trial into an America bashing circus. Said "humanitarians" are the useful idiots of the commies and the Jihadist psycho killers

I really miss the "peace activists" that volunteered to be "human shields",and then were disappointed that Saddam had them chained to power plants, dams, etc...

we don't hear about them anymore, do we...

Religious extremists are generally like that. Make no mistake, liberalism IS their religion.
