The Realities of Iraq
When I opened up my laptop this morning to do my usual check of CNN, I found a link to this report showing sniper attacks on American soldiers in Iraq. This is one of the most gut-wrenching, disturbing, and necessary pieces of reporting I have ever seen. It is absolutely horrific to watch the kids my age being murdered for a unclear cause that was built on a lie.
We cannot win in Iraq. Everyday our presence pours gasoline onto the fire. Mr. Bush's bloodlust has resulted in nothing but senseless death. It is time for us to go - there will be a full fledged civil war there no matter what we do. And then there will be an extremist Islamic regime. Hussein may have been a genocidal dictator, but he was no threat to us. He had been declawed. He was secular, and just as despised by the religious extremeists as we are. And now, we've lost almost 3000 of our people - for what? We invaded one country that did not have WMD, and now there are two countries with nuclear weapons and a madman at the trigger!
It's time for us to come home - we have lost this war and there is nothing we can do to change that. We have destroyed our internation credibility, we have created a blood bath, and we have given up the lives of our brothers and sisters for no reason at all.
Such a waste.
