A little something that I ran across that, well, when you look at this,
you'll see that our interventions often uncover far worse goings on
than we realized. For all the debating and nay saying about Iraq, all
the political posturing against the war, there remains a moral purpose
that exposes itself, one we may find ourselves in the middle of again
in Darfur no matter who is elected.
I just....We tend to forget
these things, and as has been suggested by McCain, start thinking in a
pre-911 mindset. Our guard is dropping rapidly and I contend its due to
be so detached from understanding how civility, our way of life, is
threatened by tyranny. Our lack of experience with this, even as a
visitor to a nation suffering from despotic rule, to not be born with
it, born with the notion of "ones place in society" because one is a
Kurd, or is Shiite.
Images can shock the conscience and for
those who have been against the Iraq war, our continued presence there,
and the expenditures made, I submit

Sure
that isn't why we went in, however, if we hadn't gone in Saddam would
still be in power, or one of his relatives, and, this treatment, this
form of "rule," would very likely have continued.
Some could
blame the cause on the west for its mistakes in the creation of the
state of Iraq after the British liberated them from the Turks. That
very well could be, but, in memory of these 400,000 people who were
killed, so their death isn't in vane, I'd suggest not looking for
someone to blame, or to recall some conspiracy theory, and instead,
note they died, note they died at the hands of Saddam Hussein or those
around him which is a power structure he voluntarily, pro-actively,
kept in place.
Of course many of these were found with bullet
holes in the back of their head though some were not and to me this
gives us great reason to consider Sada's account, to take it more
seriously:

Note
the type of press he recieves. No MSM and, sadly, due to this MSM
blackout of anything positive about Iraq just because it cannot be spun
negatively against conservatives, people believe there were no WMD's,
irrespective also of the gassing that even liberal organizations are
aware of in Iraq, gas that killed 5,000 people in one day. How is that
not a WMD?
Anyway, this just seems to have been lost in this
whole discussion, and I think that's because George Bush did what
doesn't usually happen in wars: He insulated us from negative impact of
the War. Some could say this financial crisis is that result I guess.
Hope not though, yet it's....there are higher prices to pay for freeing
a nation from their leader who killed 400,000 people and exported WMD's
to another country in the Arab world.
Thank you for reading.
