Ted, I agree with his first statement. Effective liberation of the Iraqis can only happen by the involvement of Iraqis. And he's also right that for a long time we supported a brutal Saddam for our own purposes. Look at the context in which he makes those statements. Everything America does is wrong. Supporting a brutal dictator was wrong, and taking out the very dictator we supported (but now regret supporting) was wrong too. Why couldn't we not support the brutal dictator AND let the UN with our able support take care of the problem? Anyone who opposes America are heroes in his mind. You're interpreting.......I don't hear him saying that. This includes the communists in Vietnam who, to this day, continue to make that place a third-world country. Look we stuck our nose into Vietnam and got it cut off. All because we believed in this theory predicated on a kid's game. And where is that theory now......in some military shredding machine. At least, in Vietnam, we were invited. This time we didn't even wait to be invited. This includes the inhumane warlords who attacked American soldiers in Mogadishu, the very soldiers sent to deliver humanitarian aid to starving Somalis. I guess I missed the part where he calls these guys heroes. This guy is a true anti-American nutjob. Even he considers the label "American" as a product of "U.S. imperial chauvinism." What a maroon. What I hear him saying is let people have their own manifest destiny without our interference. But we can't seem to do that......why not? ted
