Ted Re..You ignore the fact that no one required us to intervene in Iraq.....
Well, I guess, you can also say, we weren't absolutely required to intervene in Afghanistan either. You could also say, most companies aren't absolutely required to close down losing divisions . However, would you want to invest, or advise your friends to get a job at said corporation. In this gray world of ours, very few thing are black or white, just shades of gray. To say it is all about oil, is just about correct as to say, Iraq was all about WMD, Al Qaeda specifically or terrorism in general, 9/11, sanctions,no fly zones, palaces etc. While it may have been proven that Saddam had no current stocks of WMd, you haven't yet shown, that without sanctions,inspections, etc.; Saddam wouldn't have been. And you haven't shown that without the no fly zones, (which were coming about, because Turkey and SA were going to stop usage of their bases for that purpose); another slaughter of the Kurds, and Shia wouldn't have taken place. The world is a better place without Saddam, period, WMD, or no WMD, period. Any leader, who warns repeatedly about the menace Saddam is,such as Bill did, but refuses to take the necessary steps to do something about it, is hardly the type of leader you want at the head of a corporation, or a country. Right or wrong, choices must be made, and that choice should be denigrated, or praised, on its totality, not its parts.
You and other conservatives are making this big humanitarian thing out of the war. If you want to do that, that's your business but I am looking at the what is best for America.
Really. Just how do you know right now, what is best for America. What is best for America, will be judged sometime in the future, not now, by the totality of events, not just the events of short time span. History has shown, that countries, lead by decisive, honest,leaders, are better for a country, than indecisive, honest leaders. Brutal Meglomaniacs, haven't shown overall, good results, but then I am not biased toward Saddam, like you are. |
