Iraq will haunt us until the end of time.

it is now apparent.

that is all.

1. You may have a point.

4. Sad that a war crminal president

whos familys hands are dripping in oil and blood from decades of criminal activity will tie the hands of an entire nation for the rest of its existence because HE decided he wanted to start a war, invade a country, and then occupy it for his own self interests.

2. Not just Iraq but the lack of accountability for those who lied us into that war.

Kerry yesterday up there trying to tell us that he's being honest even though if he's not there would be no repercussions at all seemed to feel the sting of his own promotion of 'Saddam's WMD' and his idiotic vote to invade Iraq.
Had they held the liars accountable, we'd not have this deep distrust of the lot of them.

6. if they'd held "Truth & Reconciliation Hearings", even LESS of what needed to get done over the last

several years would have happened.

Do you think the Media would cover such things favorably? They were complicit too.

[Bluenorthwest]

10. Way to totally characterize and evade what I actually said. No one was held accountable for lying us

into the worst decision our country has made in war. That is why the people do not trust them now. It is that simple. Your opinion that LESS would have gotten done is not supported by anything but your dreams. I completely reject your theory. And I'm not a media paranoid sorry about that. Media covers things in various ways, there is not one voice coming from Rush and from Rachel, no matter how hyped up your framing.
We have laws to enforce we don't need Truth and Reconcilliation Hearings' we needed to fucking punish those who lied us into war and killed thousands in the waging of that war. Reconciliation? That's not what I had in mind, that's your trip, your long, strange trip.

3. As well it should. In some very small, inconsolable measure those lives lost will have had a greater

purpose if it forces us to use more care when extending our reach.

Hope my meaning is clear.

[PoliticAverse]

5. Just like Vietnam did until it didn't (Iraq). n/t

[Link Speed]

12. Except the Viets pulled it together. Iraq is falling further apart by the day. nt

[gopiscrap]

7. Yeah Fuck you George Bush, Dick Cheney, Halliburton

and the rest of neo cons and military industrial complex that lied us into this!

[mick063]

8. Untennable resource demand will haunt the entire world until the end of time.

One must get to the root of the problem.

[dsc]

9. Not really

Everyone thought VietNam would haunt us forever and we would never invade a country again, and then came 9/11 and Bush. Off we went to war.

[Democracyinkind]

11. It will haunt all but those truly responsible. nt
