[QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist: [QB] Maybe the whole Falkland Islands War should be revisited too. Afterall, the Brits once made the claim that the sun never sat on the British Empire. I don't recall the U.S. ever making that assertion. How many ships that have H.M.S. on them are sitting on the bottom of the south Atlantic? Surely that war was both justified and NECESSARY. How dare the Argentinians attack such a strategically placed island 200 miles from their own shores. If Bush had NOT done ANYTHING to Iraq, the DemoNrats would be calling for his head for taking no action over Sept. 11. They would be crying "where's the justice" or "why haven't we acted". Funny how it was OK for Hill-Billy Clinton to lob Tomahawks into Iraq anytime he needed something for the news to focus on rather than his personal scandals. But that was OK cause those missles obviously didn't kill anyone nor get any Americans killed. Am I happy that we are still in Iraq? NO. I think that the U.S., both parties, have NO CLUE about the mentality of that part of the world. An occupation isn't going to change Iraq. When we leave, I give them less than a decade before some idiot cleric seizes power and drags them back to the seventh century mentality. Fervent religious fanaticism can NEVER be reasoned with. All the "education" or "reforms" will do nothing but further incite a deepening conviction of the same blind loyalties. The truth is that it is far easier to pull someone down than it is to lift them up. Even more so when they don't WANT to be lifted up and are intent on dragging YOU down to their level or below. Just a closing thought, has any polls or charts been made to show how many Iraqis are GLAD that we came over and nabbed Saddam and overthrew his own personal Gestapo? Has anyone asked the Iraqis people "Is your life better today than it was four years ago"? Has anyone asked the average Arab if he feels safer now that his neighboring country is no longer ran by an individual who had already invaded two other countries and used chemical weapons?
