Saddam Hussein is Dead: Be Careful What You Wish For
This 14-second video is the sole reason George Bush invaded Iraq. Saddam is now dead. Nothing is changed; nothing is different, except this:
- Iraq is on the brink of the bloodiest Civil War we will see in modern times
- As of this writing, 2,998 Americans are dead, 22,000 wounded.
- Bush and his cabal have wasted more than 350 Billion dollars on this folly, with no end in sight and pleas for still more money, more young people to die, more wounded to come home.
Amidst the rejoicing over the Saddam hanging, consider this: In other countries, Bush is seen as much more evil than Saddam ever was. Can you imagine a day where he and his buddy Rumsfeld are brought before a tribunal and tried for crimes against humanity? If he were convicted, would you feel as sure about the rejoicing over Saddam?
I’m no fan of Bush — I think he’s evil, but I don’t want my country’s leader to be tried for crimes against humanity. He just might be guilty, and what a humiliation that would be for all of us as citizens of the United States. Bush should be impeached and the troops brought home before he inflicts even more harm and hurt on his country and the brave soldiers who have been ordered to their deaths so far from home.
Godspeed to the troops and to the people of Iraq who are committed to restoring peace and some semblance of order to their country. I’m hoping 2007 brings substantive change and an end to our incredibly ill-advised involvement in Iraq.
