<< This will either end up being the biggest disaster in American history or it's greatest success. >>
It might not turn out the best, but it won't be the "biggest" disaster.
OTOH, I hope that it is a great success.
<< Short term, I think we all know it will bring more terrorism and anti-Americanism. >>
I disagree. There is already international terrorist groups out to get America every day. Saddam is a supporter of terrorism. So, POOF! One less terrorist regime.
<< Long term it could mean a shining example of Democracy right smack in the middle of a hotbed of extremist Arabs. >>
Good point. But, if Iraq becomes a successful democracy, we are always going to have to be protective, or the Arabs will destroy Iraq like they destroyed Lebanon.
<< However, if Iraq can be transformed, then all the surrounding Arab masses will start to really wonder why they don't have the wealth and freedom the Iraqis will have. >>
The government controlled news media will keep the Arab masses in the dark, and happy in their poverty.
<< And one by one the despotic countries will find that their hold will start to slip. >>
Do you think that this could really happen? Couldn't the Arab dictatorships continue to keep their people brainwashed, and hateful of Christians, Jews and Hindus, for their misery? |
