Simple question for you Helio:
Is Iraq and the world better off with:
A.) Saddam in charge, still funding terror bombers in Gaza and
subverting UN sanctions with the help of his buddies in the French
government and elsewhere in the UN power structure; Zarqawi alive and
roaming about freely; Al Qaeda with a potential, if not real, friend
in power in Iraq, willing to scheme against the free world; Libya
secretly and unbeknownst to just about everybody developing WMDs; the
world still thinks we talk the talk of democracy, but don't walk the
walk, let alone promote it in other parts of the world when our
economic interests don't seem aligned.
B.) New government elected by the Iraqi people (certainly not of our
choosing, but at least elected) and negotiated between Iraqis despite
sectarian strife; Saddam on trial, his sons neutralized; Zarqawi
feeding worms; Al Qaeda on the defensive; Libya turning over a new
leaf and handing over their weapons program; dictators and mullahs
actively worrying that we take all this democracy talk seriously, and
in a panic over the spread thereof in their own backyard.
Take your pick. Thanks to America's actions, we live in the real World
B, but you are free like many on this list to continue living in the
long-gone World A if you please.
You forgot C - The Iraqi's form their third "new" government
which turns out to be heavily dominated by Shiite's who owe
allegiance to their Shiite Mullahs and their brother Shiite's in
Iran with both sides forming their own militia army's that control
just about everything outside the "green zone" and have infiltrated
the Iraqi government's army so heavily we'll never be able to
turn anything over to them lest they end up killing each other
for the next 100 years.
Now that's more like what's actually going on.
A reporter the other day mentioned, in response to the Bush
Administration's claim that reporters aren't covering the good
things that are happening in Iraq, that they would be happy to
report on those things if it were safe enough to do so.
Unfortunately it isn't safe enough anywhere outside the "green
zone" occupied by U.S. troops.
