Elroy; Abdul, Salim and Ali had families, jobs, security and future and did not need to strap explosive before Bush's invasion. Today, they have nothing and nothing to lose.
Iraqis today are not nothing with nothing to lose. Those that organize, support and commit the terrorism in Iraq today are making it a worse place. You can bitch all you want to about the decision to invade Iraq, but that is today water under the bridge. Americans today want Iraqis to stop killing each other and live together normally, something most Iraqis also want. The enemies of that completely normal objective are Abdul, Salim, Ali and their sponsors.
Unless you are going to tell us Abdul, Salim and Ali are not Iraqis, the failure today to live as normal, peaceful humans in Iraq lies with the perpetrators of violence, and most of those perpetrators are the Iraqis that blow up Iraqi school kids with their suicide vests, not people named George. |
