Keep reading G's blog from Baghdad.... I'd like to emphasize another passage if I may: "I don’t want to give the impression here that every thing is all right and there is no crisis in Iraq, I just want to say that the Americans had - and still have - a perfect opportunity in Iraq, an opportunity they won’t have anywhere else, they could have won the hearts and minds of the Iraqis from the first week after the toppling of the regime, but instead they just provided the extremists with all the pretexts they need - as if they needed any- to attack the Americans they have wasted a good deal of good intensions and hope. please stop and start doing your homework properly, I don’t want my country to be another breeding place for Osamas and lunatic terrorists." Well W and the neocons sure talked a lot about doing the right thing in post-war Iraq before the war, and during it even, to get people to stop fighting. Everyone sure fell for it didn't they, that W, what a salesman. Now that we've won we can send the money to where it's really needed, to our own rich people, struggling under a terribly unfair tax burden. The suffering they've endured: it almost makes you embarrassed to be an American. Doc@thegreatsarcasmo.com
