Yeh, you rule alright.
You like money too much, I am shocked, you really do have a lot in common with the man you name yourself after.

One fact seems to have eluded most people in all the excitement over these elections..
The war was fought on a false premise. The world was told that Iraq posessed WMD that endangered the west. Tony Blair stood up in parliment and told us that they could be deployed in 45 minutes. He lied. Removing Saddam from power was on Clintons agenda. 9/11 gave the Bush administration the excuse they needed to invade. The American people were led to believe that Saddam was complicit in the attacks. The Amercian servicemen were fed the same falacy. The fact that Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden (who had been publically blamed for 9/11) were idealogical enemies, went ignored. Furthermore the 9/11 commision concluded there had been no Iraqi involvement.
The outcome of these elctions is virtually irrelevant. Iraq will be a mess for generations to come, just as it has been for generations past. The only winners are the construction companies who are rebuilding the place, those who cream off the oil profits, and of course Israel has had one of its enemies decapitated. I hope it was all worth it. I'm sceptical.

Well Said
People must remember the whole reason to go to Iraq was greed. As long as the US corporations make their money, that is all that matters to the US government. How can you trust governments that are run by political parties that care more about funding than principal and justice.

To me all the arguments about Saddams appalling record on human rights are also hollow. There are human rights abuses taking place all over the world. In the case of China and N. Korea the offending governments are also armed to the teeth with WMD. Why did we not deal with them first? Why did we not do anything about Rwanda, Darfor, Zimbabwe..

Oh yes, Iran. They are definately in Dubyas sights.
I had thought that if the elections in Iraq didn't go well, then the US could leave Iran to Israel to deal with, while the political dust settled.
But, gdub, my point was why did we start with Iraq? There were far worse human rights abusers out there who posed a demonstrably bigger threat - in theory - to the US. Is it not dangerous to allow such nations as North Korea the time to develop further their WMD capability?
