Okay, so let's leave Iraq now. What can we do to apologize and ensure
we don't end up with a country that really WOULD destroy us, given any opportunity? Times have changed thanks to *, so we need to change along with them.

How can we legitimately help them and apologize for allowing our 'leadership' to do very irresponsible and un-leadershiplike things?

I say back off totally, let them (with the UN's help) form their own country with their own rules, and then diplomatically bring the US back in. We caused the nightmare, we still have to pay for it, don't tell me we should just do a "dine and ditch" charade. That'll only make things FAR WORSE.

The UN will help ensure the country rebuilt ends up being a better one than the way we had left it and morality, karma, and ethics will be satisfied that we pay for what we had done. And if that means handing * over to them as a token of trust that we do stand behind justice (* deserves life in prison over there, not here, well all I can say is he sadly deserves it.

We need to make this world BETTER. Not worse. * has only made it worse. Far worse. * and co are clearly deranged war criminals who set the entire chain of events into motion, regardless if you count 9/11 or not (LIHOP was confirmed and MIHOP is not out of reasonable doubt. Not yet.) Maybe they are doing what they think is best. But they are still WRONG. There is no justification for what has happened. And they must be held accountable.

Americans have died, yes. Over 3000. But * has killed far more in his Don Quixote quest to rid the world of terrorism. The way he's been doing it, he's only creating terrorists overseas, not reforming or eliminating them. * is clearly LOSING the war on terror, big-time. Of course, he will spin it into a reason why he "deserves" to be in power because of this "never ending war". With luck, Americans will see the truth and act accordingly. * is a true danger.

Right now it's just vengeance upon vengeance upon brutality upon brutality. And that has got to stop before there's nobody left.

I haven't even mentioned how he's put the US Economy on the brink of annihilation with his inappropriate tax cuts and mammoth spending increases. Our children will have hell to pay and we must remind them who caused it. Not the Democrats as much as the nominal "party of Fiscal Responsibility".

I haven't any answers. I am probably as bright with finding a viable solution as Bushco* is with world diplomacy in general. But at least my idea of world organization isn't about who has the biggest firepower to compensate for the most fragile ego.

Thoughts? Ideas? All of this is hyperbole, but it's fun to conjecture.

1. One kick for the night...
I'm just amazed at how everybody had loopy conspiracy theories about the Berg chair yet nobody wants to think of positive solutions to a major problem, even if there is little we can do about it (except take the answers to Congress and ask that they push for it?) :cry:

2. The Bush* Gang Need to be Tried for War Crimes in the Hague
Then, maybe, the world will think about forgiving us.
