Bear in mind that we still bear 90% of the coalition casualties and 85% of the incursion's cost. That is to say, our children's children will be bearing that distant death and debt we're incurring long after we are gone. The goal of an eventually free and democratic Middle East, and world body politic in general, is a grand and noble idea. Neo-cons and Nazis have always acquitted themselves well when arguing the upside of one form of government international affairs. One would be unwise to dismiss their (granted, extremist) logic out of hand. The efficiency and equilibrium a much more stable socio-political-trade environment would engender could indeed save us from the irrational gluttonous overconsumption and waste of resources, as well as the divisive, violent, exclusionary political and religious factioning currently driving us to extinction (or at least, for now, to the poorhouse), depending on who has the WMD's and the means and intent to use them. It also could, conceivably, down the road of history many miles from now, be considered justification to those who did not experience it firsthand, for the world that it had wrought if, in fact, it does become a better place because of this. But the means this administration has adapted in it's near unilateral undertaking: deceit, treachery, secrecy, blackmail, bullying, bribing, lying, coercing, conspiring, maligning, malfeasance, murder, misappropriation, misinformation and misrepresentation as well as Constitutional usurpation (impeachably so on a number of counts far more dangerous and destructive than stained dresses and stress satisfying cigars), brings a shame to every American, to every thinking, feeling human being on the face of the earth. That this is done in your name and with your tax dollars should shame you even more for this is what you have allowed to be, for now until forever, the text of your page in the tome of history. But it's not too late. As long as you draw free breath, it's never too late. If you feel the POSSIBLE ends justifies the means history will attribute to you in this undertaking then get behind it 100%; not just discount flag decals and plastic, magnetic golden ribbons, invest all of your and your children's savings and lives in an open-ended Crusade/jihad in the Middle East until the gas guzzling Judeo-Christian west has exterminated or emasculated the oil-rich Muslims, because that is exactly what this "war" is about "over there"-that, and a continued industrialized world reliance on fossil fuels to keep the politically-connected rich, well...politically-connected and rich. But if you don't think this millions-of-dollars-a-day militarism is the way you want to be remembered as promoting global freedom, democracy and independence then do something now to change it. It's 2005 and this is still America-of, by, and for the People, and the UN and World Court do still exist, so either way, assert your will. Make the founding fathers proud you played your part in their "bold experiment" . Get up and turn off the TV, PC, CD, DVD, or VCR and DO SOMETHING. NOW. This is your moment. The whole world is watching. The whole world is watching. From now until the end of time, the whole world is watching. alexander graham graham.myexpose.com First it was the Canadians we accidentally killed in Iraq that made front page "friendly fire" news in America, not the thousands of innocent natives at weddings, parties, "check points", confabs and congregations we had done so to as well because they were, after all, only lowly local Iraqis or Afghans. Arabs. Easterners, not Europeans. Now it's the Italians we've "accidentally" killed (not according to the just freed kidnapped/journalist/victim) and wounded in Iraq that have raised the ire of "our own" against us again. After all, the Italian citizenry rejects it's country's involvement in America's unprovoked aggression in Iraq overwhelmingly (89%), while its kiss-you-know-what government keeps 3,000 of them there against their will and the will of their families, friends and neighbors, just as our government is doing with so many of our own.
