and now my cynicism <<<<But after that, what? The "democracy in Iraq" line popular here and among the bloviating punditry seems quite naive to me. The Iraqis, despite being afflicted with the allegedly monolithic "Arab Mind" mentality so often proposed here, are suddenly going to love us as liberators?> in the more than a decade that has passed when George Bush,sr. made what he admits to being his great mistake, he is trying through GW to correct that mistake TOO late. In the time that has passed Saddam has been able to brainwash the youth of Iraq into seeing Saddam as a "deity" . Bush,sr has given Saddam all the time he needed to form a generation of brainwashed "Saddam Youth"; and as a result of this, the scale of difficulty has escalated to the extreme, such that my overview contains the phrase "Opportunity once gone is gone forever"--but i pose this as a question not a fact. Contrary to popular belief, history is not guided by G_d, and as such this Modern Era may end up as just more roadkill on History's random run to nowhere; but on the otherhand maybe the Modern Era will advance forward to where we are all one, all one homogenized faceless chip operating efficiently in a One World Global Economy. But as Rhett said to Scarlet "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn". That's my "Speaker's Corner" soapbox verbiage for the day.Max >> an old post--just getting sick of having type things twice.
