re: re: What's your basis of comparison? The volume of press releases following the invasion?
Not "the volume of press releases", but the content of the reports. Did you read the article Ted posted about Basra? The Basra that Elroy holds up as the symbol of success for the US strategy.
Reading the news everyday, what's your "basis of comparison"? Deaths, people maimed, employment rate, services, citizen safety, corruption, womens rights, secularisms, cooperation between the ethnic, religious cultures, acts of terrorism? What's your basis of comparison to say how wonderful Iraq is these days?
And you said: "Of course to the left, it's America's fault that fundamentalist Muslims are persecuting women and those who treat them."
Do you really believe that? The scary part is that in the end you might be right, things may break really bad, and it would be America's fault.
Another reason why, in the end, this may be worse than Vietnam.
