This entire war is strange for a multitude of reasons in my mind. <BR/><BR/>One, why didn't Hans Blix tell us the WMD's were dismantled after his team entered the country? I guess an argument could be made that his UN inspector teams kept being invited in Iraq then were denied access and thus, all that film footage of his entourage leaving happened without he and his teams knowing this had already taken place. I'll cut him some slack on that point. But then he contradicts himself. WTF? <BR/><BR/>Two, there is no doubt Saddam Hussein was a bastard torturing and killing almost 1 million people. But we never got involved when the Kurds were gassed? Why? Plus, as Bruce Springsteen said "You can't save the whole world, but ya gotta try". I'm overwhelmed with the number of countries involved in genocide. We need partnerships with other countries on such a mass scale. Can it be stopped? That's all I can think of. <BR/><BR/>Three, while I'm glad Hussein, his sons and other brutal murderers have met the fate they have doled out for years, any ideology to liberate the country is just overly-ambitious with idiots like Rumsfeld left in place who refused to listen to Powell or the people. This just leaves me drained. <BR/><BR/>Four, I'm all for schools being built and teachers being paid $40K and women receiving a semblance of the beginning of a future. But the insurgency has us "stuck" unless a coalition with other countries enters to quote John Kerry "so we can do what needs to be done in Afghanistan and kill the terrorists". On that point, McCain agrees. <BR/><BR/>Fifth and lastly, witness that Rush Bimbo, Sean Hannity and that idiot Bill Cunningham in Cincinnati radio (who along with Ann Coulter should have their broadcasting licenses stripped) dislike McCain while Obama and Hillary are fighting so bitterly. If the political fighting would just stop so we could have some human, civilized dialogue, maybe the American people can sort this out without all the BS. I'm just exhausted by it all!Michael Manninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.com
