Reply #28: Iraq is not 'a small part of my ideology'. [View All]

[Warren Stupidity]

Where you stand on Iraq, on our foreign adventures, on neoclown imperialism, on American Fascism, is sort of central in my opinion.

However if you think that freemon and moxy have broken out in the middle east, I suggest that indeed you too have imbided the koolaid. You do know that this was not the reason given for going to war, right? You do know that the congressional resolution authorizing the war was based on the administration's certification that Iraq posed a military threat to the United States, right? You do know that this war was fought on fraudulent grounds, right?

Democracy does not come from invading countries, leveling their cities and killing thousands of their citizens. That is called 'conquest', not democracy. The 'ddemocracy' we are establishing in Iraq comes with huge permanent military bases for our troops and control of their oil resources, if only we can kill off that pesky insurgency problem. They can dress this pig up in many different ways, and many of us will, as you have, get confused by the costume du jour. That does not alter the facts: we are engaged in a foolish criminal endeavor to establish an american empire. Where you stand on this issue is to me central.
