I'll answer your question with another. Why was it that we had to stay in Germany and Japan for so much longer than 2 years to ensure that they turned into peaceful, Democratic nations? Message 21167809 Here's another one for you. Why are you and Elroy so impatient with Iraq given historical precedent in Germany and Japan? Because we can't afford it both in terms of lives and in terms of money. Frankly, I don't want Americans dying so that Iraqis can be free. I also don't want Americans dying so Bubba Bush and his cronies can have access to the second largest oil reserves in the world. I don't want Americans dying so that the neocons can have 10 new airbases in Iraq. Do you frigging get that? I am sick of repeating it over and over again. Just because Bubba Bush when off on his excellent adventure does not mean that the rest of us wanted to go. Frankly, I could care less if Iraq turns into a communistic theocracy with oligarchic overtones. It would serve the Bushies right! You all are nuts! Certifiable. Am I sick of being dragged along for what has not been a very pleasant ride. I am sick to death of seeing guys who at 19 come back missing an arm and a leg so the rich in this country can continue to drive their SUVs for some of the cheapest gas in the developed nations. Instead of waxing on about your's and Bush's vision.......think about these guys who were suckered into this mess......who will live without that arm or leg for the rest of their lives. I am furious that Americans are coming home mentally disturbed so that Bubbas oil friends can set up branch offices in Baghdad. So don't talk to me about Germany or Japan. Don't tell me that I am as impatient as an infant. You are lucky that Bubba Bush has not been impeached for his arrogance and mendacity. And one last thing........the point that Elroy was making about the airport road that flew way over your head. Why do Americans have to man that road two years.............two very long years after Saddam fell? Why can't the Iraqis? What the frig is taking them so long to get their act together? Think about dem apples when you are discussing the domino theory of democracy in the ME! And then think about another 10k Americans coming home alive but in pieces! I am sick to death of this war and the callousness/shallowness of you guys who support it! ted
