One would meet everybody approval and no name calling.
But being as dumb as I am, I will give it a shot.
Some site World War II and appeasement, but these are not the 1930's.
Besides this war on terrorism has not required sacrifice by more than a few in the military and those related to them.
Many in our schools of higher learning and even our High Schools have sites on the web opposing this war in Iraq.
Why?
Because they are beyond the reach of any possible DRAFT.
And they have "other priorities"
Sound familiar?
I seem to have heard that from my past.
We went in seeking Weapons Of Mass Destruction (WMD) or that what we were told.
But I rather think it was failure to get the job done in Desert Storm.
Than the why of Desert Storm...
Reading about the Iran-Contra Affair and the ways money was filtered to Israel by the Saudi Arabians and Kuwaiti's so they would than ship weapons to Iran via the same channel as the money.
And see that George H. Bush was Vice President.
That left a job undone, that the son thought needed finishing.
Thus, we found ourselves invading Iraq to finish the job undone.
But they forgot one thing.
The Iraqi's thought of nationalism.
Yet there different identities, shia, shiite and the kurds.
We should seek a political solution among these three instead of a military solution.
We can't be the guardian of Saudi Arab, Kuwait and Israel beside all the moderates in that area.
Its not cutting in running, its extreme measures for extreme times.
let the name calling begin...or lets get this Congress and this Government declaring a war and mobilizing everybody...than I will believe that its the top priority of this Nation...
Let the name calling begin again...
