Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

Primitive, I too think this war was a bad idea, but I don't entirely agree with your points.

Yes, Bush gutted the UN, but now it seems that he wants to repair the damage. Let's give him time to see if he means it.

The 'new cold war' is not GWB's creation, it is a result of at least 100 years of erroneous foreign policy by the former colonial powers. Right now we are going through a crisis in that war, but the war was already there.

Regarding the 'wrong target', although I agree with you I think the USA may have hit the right target while aiming at the wrong one. Time will tell.

I believe that it is far more important now to see what kind of government emerges in Iraq rather than debate the legitimacy of the war. We can't change what happened, but we can try to influence what is happening now.
