Re: Thanks for the support "Liberals were all for going into Somalia, Bosnia (without UN approval I might add)...but no way, no freeing of millions of Arabs oppressed by a madman like Saddam."
Funny how the Arabs hate us now more than ever. They were cheering for Saddam. "They love freedom as much as we do" is another one of Bush's (and Blair's) lies. Arabs regard freedom as a Jewish plot to weaken them. |

Sure...the ones programmed by Al Jazeera were...but not the majority of Iraqi citizens who lived under the evils of Saddam.

One other thing we might all keep in mind is that China was enemy #1 before 9/11 conveniently came along. Remember the P3-Orion forced down on China's coast? Remember all the talk about China being the Next Big Threat? Or have we forgotten this? This admistratation came into office looking for a foreign boogeyman to get people's minds off the fact that their hopes and dreams were disapearing in front of their eyes; as the economy and the market melted down. The Bush adminstration has made no bones about it carrying the water for the defense firms and oil oliarchy. Notice after we've knocked off the worlds biggest gas station that your price at the pump is going down? So much for any benefit from our 1/2 TRILLION in THIS YEARS deficit spending from our let-the-rich off the hook and spend like there's no tommorow government. As noted, we don't even get FTTH, or hey, how about some investment in the power infrastructure here instead of Iraq! No, all we're going to get is a eventual currency meltdown and much, much higher taxes on us working folks for many moons to come to pay for all this incredibly irresponsible spending. Remember, empires have historically gone down not because of defeat on the battleground, but because of economic reasons. So it will be with us. |

Yes. It's an odd sort of victory when the victorious nation is the one that gets plundered. Any more great victories and we'll be bankrupt. |
