odd how much has changed in the six months since your post. right now, Bush's approval rating is lower than Nixon's was the day he resigned. because of the continued and total failure of him, his policies, and his war.
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
Forty eight blood soaked months later, what exactly has been accomplished?
* Possibly as many as one million Iraqi dead, four million fled or displaced internally. The largest exodus since the establisment of the State of Israel in 1948.
* The erasing of the history, monuments, archeological sites of the Cradle of Civilisation.
* The kidnapping and lynching of the President and members of the legitimate government.
* The slaughter of the President's sons and grandson.
* One hundred journalists and thirty seven support workers killed. A figure in order of magnitude higher than any war zone on earth (shoot the messengers of this illegal disaster?) It seemed to be policy from day one, literally.
* Over three hundred academics assassinated and thousands fled. The education of the next generation snatched from Iraq's youth, in the country that brought near every academic subject to the world.
* Sectarian gangs roaming hospitals and pulling patients from beds and taking them to their death.
* Over two thousand physicians killed, two hundred and fifty kidnapped and eighteen thousand fled.
* Palestinians who have lived in Iraq for generations, killed, threatened and fleeing again to a no man's land unsafe in Iraq, unable to cross borders.
* Falluja, Samarra, Tel Afar, Ramadi, Al Quaim, Mahmoudia, Iskanderiya, Baquba, Haditha, Najav, Kerbala, Basra and the slaughters too many to mention, across Iraq.
* The US troops rape of a child and the burning of her family.
* Kicking down doors at 3 a.m., to humiliate, terrify - and steal family jewellery, money, valuables.
* The disappeared in their thousands.
* The destruction of an entire civil society with every institution and all records of its citizens.
* Taking a secular state and attempting to turn it into a fundamentalist theocrocy.
* Committing Nuremberg's 'supreme crime', a war of aggression, based on a pack of lies.
* Demands for impeachment increasing by the day.
* The destruction of America and Britain's image for generations to come - and the inability of their citizens to feel safe anywhere, also for generations.
I've learned a lesson. No more name-calling. It just causes anger and prevents productive discussion. I apologize. But I would like to know what I've done to cablefolk to cause him to tell God to protect him from me. Especially when considering the thousands upon thousands of terrorists that are committed to converting the world to Islamic fundamentalism and killing those that resist, not to mention destroying Israel and a free America, where we as most Westerners protect religious freedom.
Violence comes in many forms, all wars have started by broken communication and lack of respect for others ideas and values, words are more dangerous than bullets, others opinions and beliefs are as important to me as my own. I do not agree with this war, and it's time we ALL do something about it.
I do not have the magic answer on how to do it, but since we are a country of many I know we will find the way.
Is big of you to have apologized, we both have learned something today.
Peace Takes Courage??? You're damn right! But first you have to finish the job, meat-head! We took down Saddam's regime. We did accomplish that mission. Now we're fighting terrorists in Iraq, and we will stay there until this mission is accomplished you cowardly worm.
3000 American soldiers, why not mention the deaths of "the enemy"? Like 700.000 deaths on that side... (including a lot ordinary citizens and defenseless kids)
We have to shake the populace from it's collective amnesia. If people would turn off the TV and look around, it's amazing what they might discover. Good Work Ava!
AN EYE FOR AN EYE After WWII, Europe was destroyed and helpless in case of a communistic attack America feared that Europeans would become communists Diplomacy was the solution America gave billions to rebuild Europe Europe had to buy all their supplies (houses,cars,..) from US => both parties became rich! Many commies flew and came to Europe => commies became weak
Republicans don't believe in democracy despite that they use that in their speech all the time.
Mission accomplished COVER-UP!
