Now an invasion force is in your back yard telling you have a curfew and can come in at any time of day an charge you as a enemy combatant. You deny everthing connected to the Big Mac but are still charged with a unknown crime. You are later released but everything you know is gone wife,kids,relatives from sectarian violence (mentioned above) . You see where this is going. More Later  |
Can you say Apples and Oranges?
There is no way you can compare Shiites and Sunnis to Democrats and Republicans...well, maybe Democrats
What people continue to forget is that, though the US took it upon themselves to unilaterally fulfill the toothless threats of the UN, if you read the resolutions, this was a worldwide condemnation. It aint as if the President just woke up one morning, and over his coffee said, "Hey, let's go invade Iraq." Even the Democrats, though, of course, tauting diplomacy over armed conflict (yes, let's go hug 'em and kiss 'em on the cheek while they lie to us, instead of letting 'em lie to us from a distance), KNEW that Saddam was a threat and had to go...

I repeat -- there's no way we'll ever know for sure about Saddam's intentions. History will have the final say. As we've heard recently, Gerald Ford was a dope, by most people's assessment, for pardoning Nixon -- when he did it. We came to realize, over time, that it was his BEST decision -- to the detriment of his own political career. Whether history proves that President Bush's decisions were right or wrong, there is one thing, for sure, that history will prove: the vitriol and "sour grapes" from the opposing party was an aid and comfort to the enemy. We've already heard from Al Zawahiri that he's watchin' TV and enjoying the show.
Meanwhile, take a look at a couple of people beyond the scope...
