Faced with the inevitable loss of public support for their dishonestly marketed war of aggression, GOP apologists have begun to sneer the rather obscene question "would you rather have Saddam back?" I would suggest that a fair answer to this question might include the following: I would rather have the support and sympathy of the entire free world in our fight against the terrorists who killed three thousand of our citizens on September 11 back. I would rather have the credibility of the US government with the entire international community back. I would rather have the admiration and respect of freedom loving people across the globe back. I would rather have the UN security counsel who unanimously backing the US in our every effort that wasn't an affront to established international law back. I would rather have the hundreds of billions of dollars the US has sunk into Iraq back, along with the obligation to spend billions more, since Iraqi people across the entire spectrum of their society are protesting our very presence there. I would rather have the UN weapons inspectors, who were actively crawling through Saddam's underwear drawers before we attacked, back. I would rather have the no-fly zones, which shut Saddam out of power in both the north and the south of his own country, back. And if I could get back the lives of over 240 hundred US servicemen, including over 1,000 wounded or injured, and still have Saddam Hussein completely boxed in militarily and economically, just as he was prior to the start of the war, would I? You are damn right I would. brew.notifylist.com
