Reply #26: I knew. [View All]

Months before the invasion...I knew, but being a Canadian, I had access to a free press. Before then, I was not very interested in U.S. politics. But as the drumbeat to war got louder and louder, starting in the fall of 2002, I started searching for information on the web, because I KNEW going into Iraq, first of all, was not justified at all, and second of all, would be a huge disaster, would destabilize the region and would drag on and on. The only thing I was hopeful about was that maybe they'd go in quick, and then pull out as soon as Saddam was out of power and it would be over quickly. Sadly, they weren't even THAT smart.
I remember telling EVERYONE I knew.
No one believed me, they all thought I was nuts.
And yes, I'm not quiet about saying, "I told you so." although I wish I didn't have to say it.
At least I found this place because of it.
