Subject: Re: 87 billion more dollars!!! Author: misc. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:26:42 09/08/03 Mon In reply to: Betty 's message, "87 billion more dollars!!!" on 22:00:30 09/08/03 Mon The Moron-in-Chief Really Losing It Newsgroups: alt.politics.bush, alt.politics.democrats, alt.politics.greens, alt.politics.republicans Date: 2003-09-07 18:59:46 PST We already have the largest deficit in our history thanks to his stupidity, now he wants taxpayers to shell out more for the unilateral, unprovoked war he couldn't wait to drag us into!!! Where are those Iraqi weapons of mass destruction anyway? Just watch the rest of our former (again thanks to Bush) allies sit back and laugh as this clown drags America further into a fiscal and military morass. If Iraqis are so happy about being "liberated" where are the demonstrations of joy? ============== The politics of fear have gotten out of hand and the joke is on us. It's time folks shared the joke with the people who are going to be paying for it. If enough folks say the Emperor has no clothes, maybelet's hope the Bush Doctrine dies the death of a thousand cutting remarks. ============== I was watching MSNBC just before (and during) the Presidential address. One of the military experts referred to the Iraqi resistance fighters as "brutal people." My immediate response was: If those people are "brutal," doesn't it take a brutal leader to control them? - Which brings us to the question - Did we really need to remove the brutal regime of Saddam or was it the only kind of a government able to control that area under its current circumstances? Attempts to superimpose our political ideals upon somebody else's realities will only fail. The proponents of the regime change in Iraq like to compare it with our post WWII political role in Germany and Japan. They need to be reminded that both Germany and Japan were among the world's technological leaders already prior to the war. In terms of their socio-economic development they were ready for advanced democracy even before they were defeated militarily. Not so Iraq. Even though the area between Tigris and Euphrates had an early start and gave birth to numerous other civilizations, it has also been attracting hordes of invaders throughout history, each invasion throwing the area centuries back. Our invasion will throw it only further back. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
