The opportunity to attack Iraq is no more. Bush failed to set forth the proper argument for war, and the argument he presented had too little emotion for the typical American mind to offset the emotion of his opponents. Now people are wondering why Bush wishes to attack “innocent Iraqi civilians.” As I have said all along, Bush should have presented terrorism as a worldwide problem, that as a nation of considerable resources America has an obligation to help stamp it out, that al Qaeda, the Taliban, the Sudanese, the Iraqis are all terrorizing innocent people, including Americans, that they have done it for several decades and that enough is enough. Oppressed women in Afghanistan, slaves in Sudan, slaughtered Kurds in Iraq and thousands of slaughtered Americans in America and abroad should have never been allowed to escape our minds. Bush should have told us we must enter these nations to destroy their rabid terrorist elements for the sake of peace in America and the world. And he should have told world leaders that should they be unwilling to help be rid of those who kill innocent people, they are failing their own people and the “world community.” Had he consistently attached the war directly to the harm done to us on 9-11, we would not have lost this opportunity. Americans are literally whining in the streets about the Iraqis, and they have lost touch with the fact that our World Trade Center was destroyed, our Pentagon severely damaged and some 4000 innocent Americans murdered by the same philosophy extant in Iraq and in Saddam Hussein in particular. It is but a matter of time before the Iraqis get apocalyptic weaponry, and you can be sure they will sell them to the stateless forces who took out so many of us on 9-11. (sigh) Time to move to friggin’ Iceland, where the fishing is good and the men ain’ worth scat…
