A Funny Thing Happened in Iraq
So far we've seen a little over three years of military action in Iraq under the premise of uncovering "weapons of mass destruction" and eliminating the harboring and funding of terrorists by Sadam Hussein.
Vietnam II, as I call it, has yet to resolve in any stability. But yet the Bush Adminstration is putting the pressure on Iraq to shit or get off the pot and get governmental control which doesn't really bode well as a democratic policy. Democracy is suppose to be about a government that protects and serves its people, not controls its people.
It's hard to believe that a country (Iraq) that had no desire to become the next "democracy" and had no involvement in 9/11 is now under pressure from the Bush Administration to get their act together even while the US Military has been unable to do the same. Yet George W. Bush's ratings as a president are in the toilet as a result of the deception that was employed in starting a war in Iraq and the ongoing effort with no end in sight. On top of that his spend spend spend policy has created the biggest National Debt ever; resulting in massive cuts that aid people in our own country. The upcoming election has the Republicans running for cover and fighting Bush's control while the international media are reporting on his ineffectiveness.
The definition of terrorism:
The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
You be the judge.
