You stated:
A long time ago, when the WOT first began, after we took out Saddam Hussein, and learned of all the horrors the Iraqi people endured, I wondered about the people of Iraq. How they came to the point that they would not fight the tyranny
Saddam was ruthless and cruel, the people were held in check through the fear (and the army) that Hussein created - they trembled before it.
I know that there was never a democracy there, but I know there was not always such cruelty (or I think I know). Why did these people allow themselves to be subjugated, why could they, with their large numbers, not fight to the death for the future of their Country?
Did they deserve their servitude because they would not act/could not act/tired of always having to act?
And I wonder. Will some woman in another country, years from now, wonder, why the people of the USA could not act, would not act...

Well said. I had to repeat it.
This is what scares me right now. Wondering if enough of us will fight this?
I am not scared of the fight, I am scared of the ramifications if we don’t.
When asked why the Jews willingly got on the train without a fight, the man looked puzzled for a moment, with tears in his eyes, he looked up and said "to us, it was just one more thing to be done".
You see, they had already made the Jews pariahs, made it hard for them to buy and sell, made them wear the identifying Star of David, made them give up arms..the government took their rights bit by bit, until their deaths came down to........One more thing to be done.
They were blindsided.
I don't want to be blindsided.
