Re: Tuesday, August 13, 2002
I think lefty cynicism is much more realistic than this naivete from Andrew: "Such a war might indeed make the Middle East a safer place, but the war is about protecting America and the West, as well as liberating the Iraqi people from one of the most evil tyrants in history." When Saddam used chemical weapons against Iraqi Kurds in the 1980s he was our friend. What more do you need to know? How can one be anything but cynical about our government? We want to liberate Iraq? We're suddenly, just before election time, full of concern over the plight of the people and the sudden threat? We're coming over to bomb you, don't worry it's for your own good. We had to burn the village to save it, right?
