Darren and Sandeep, those days are over in the US when you could brandish someone the way you liked and that person would be cast away. Remember the Vietnam days. Anyone who opposed the war could be branded unpatriotic. No more. How this country is screwed up is borne by the fact that in California we have a recall of the Governor by those same crazy hooligans who muzzled democracy during the Florida recount. Thay had Darell Issa fund the recall, then they told him he could not run, then put up a Ahnold, whose chief economic advisor Mr. Buffet toes a Democratic party line on the economy. Then Ahnold gets hammered by his fellow Republicans. And to cap it all, you have the power failure in the Northeast, everybody is now saying that energy rates need to increase to upgrade the power system. And we are all left wondering then that what Gray Davis did with increased power rates is years ahead of what the rest of the US is thinking. Now you ask what has that got to do with Iraq. I say a lot. The common theme is that this issue is also being handled by a bunch of no gooders. That it is so is evident from Sandeep's comments which to me seems to be a comment from someone who is very confused. He says the war is for all the right reasons but it has not been sold correctly. So what I hear is that the product is good but the salesman is bad. I have never heard such an argument. On the contrary I have heard that he salesman is so good that he could sell a bad product. And Sandeep, the US is not spending the amount of money that needs to be spent in Iraq. It is spending only that much that it need and can afford. Furthermore, you need to know more about history. The British put sufficient amount of money in its colonies. They built ports, a good railway systems, public transportation system in their colonies. So don't question patriotism or hasten to call people traitors here.
