Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Hey guys can we cool it. I never wanted a flame war.
Ok, the humor was a bit tasteless, it was also on the radio, and funny. Humor is a ligitimate way of facing concerns, especially when one feels powerless. I make fun of Bush also, but that does not make me an /enaemy of the State any more than my other joke makes me a WarMonger.
I am sorry for the loss of IRAQI lives since gulf war 1. I am sorry for the lives lost when the US encouraged rebellion failed. I understand committments were made to key coalition members and they had to be honored. It still would have been better to finish it then.
I feel honored by the behavior of our troops and the tactics of the ground war that does expose them to more harm. May God protect them.
40% of US citizens believe Sadam had helped the 9/11 terrorists. The is even some indications that Sadam intel spooks also helped with the first WTC bombing.
I will be glad when this Sadam/Iraq business is finally over. I hope the US and Iraq can pick up the pieces and get on with life.
I simply hope Bush has the sense to ignore some of the advice he is getting. I am glad we are taking care of Iraq, but I do not want it to go farther. He will not get my vote.
