So do I.
We didn't start the war, we were attacked.
Correct, but we were attacked by religious fundamentalist followers of Islam. These followers hate Saddam as much as they hate us. We should be going after these fundamentalists wherever they are instead of wasting all of this time, lives, and money with Saddam.
Saudi Arabia would be a far better place to start but they're our ally.This nonsense response I hear so often of "We'll get to them in due time" is pure bull. We're never going after the ones who killed thousands of Americans as long as we're getting oil from the House of Saud.
Bear something in mind when you watch the massive protests and read an article or two from The Guardian or The Independent.
Our forces will invade Iraq. When they do, they will liberate a people who are living, as we speak, in fear. The Allied soldiers will smite the wicked, liberate the oppressed, and find, at long last, Saddam Hussein's stash of WMD stuff.
Rebuilding will be difficult, but bear in mind one thing. This war, like others, will pass into history. When it does, the historians will ask who fought to destroy Saddam, and who fought to keep him in power.
They will conclude that American and British troops, under the command of two honest and courageous leaders, George W. Bush and Tony Blair, brought freedom where there was fear.
And the protesters? The Not in Our Name crowd? The New Labourites who can't see past their distaste for the Dumb Cowboy in the White House?
They will have had nothing to do with it. That one observation will be a damning indictment for the ages.
Be Seeing You,
