you know maybe if we really acted ignorant we would be better off. do things the old fashoned way, you have an enemy, you defeat that nation then destroy its infrastructure so it can not be a threat to anyone again. we try to be as benign as possible and they stick it up our ass. i think we should remember that the primary objective here was to take out sadam and his power structure and be sure it wasn't replaced with another just like it. helping the country to get back on its feet would be nice...but. maybe we should really consider what they want as a nation and help them obtain that goal by putting them back into the bronze age where they really belong. and since al-quida has united all the extreamist muslem factions to wage a world wide unholy war, if were going to dance lets have at it already and quit beating around the bush.
people are people everywhere. we are no better than the arabs and no worse and we should not be expected to behave in a higher manner. could it be the fact that the west actually believes that its 'better' and a higher form of human life than the muslim nations thats the real root of the problem. that IS a weakness.
note: i really dont believe all that but it felt good to say it anyway
