“GEE, MAYBE IT WAS GOOD WE GOT RID OF sADDAM”
Well, which is better, a secular dictator, or an islamic fundamentalist state? Iraq is going to be an islamic state. We’ve seen to that. Not the best value for our Trillion dollars, I’d think.
Now if we had Saddam, or some other dictator to do our bidding, I’d be much happier. The Iraqi’s aren’t worth what it will take to actually make them a lasting democracy, and we don’t have what it takes to actually make it happen. So we burn money and pretend we are making a difference until we leave.
Your optimism is just phenomenal. ha.
It was worth it. No country is ever READY for democracy. Guess by tthat reasoning we should just wait till democracy springs forth full blown from Medusa’s head...and then let the people have freedom.
America came very very close to not being democratic or just not being.
and of course, the Germans could never be democratic and never the Japanese....its an old imperialistic argument that is very very tired.
Ahem. We aren't leaving.
“Well, which is better, a secular dictator, or an islamic fundamentalist state? “
Your Saddam fellow was an Islamic terrorist.
” Iraq is going to be an islamic state. “
The invasion of Iraq will cost tens of thousands of U.S. casulties. The U.S. will never find Saddam. Zarqari has popular support among Iraqis and will never be caught. The elections will never succeed. Blah, Blah, Blah....
“So we burn money and pretend we are making a difference until we leave.”
To quote President Bush, “Our troops in Iraq are performing brilliantly. Along with Iraqi forces, they have captured or killed an average of more than 1,500 enemy fighters per month since January.” Doesn’t sound like ‘pretend’ to me. The only pretenders are you defeatists.
