[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Didn't you read TSN's previous post, Jason? This is splitting hairs, Pinter's point was that the whole campaign is questionable and that no matter how professional and courteous the troops would be, there is no question that they will make the lives of the iraqis worse. I remember an interview with a former staff aide at the time of 9/11, who said that after the president had gotten news of middle-eastern involvement in the attacks, he called meetings to draw up plans for invading Iraq, before a connection had even been made. He and his gang had been planning for an occasion like this ever since the 90's, waiting for an excuse to launch the campaign and create something Bush will be remembered for. This is Pinter's core argument; the US has taken a new path in history, and as with their 'looking the other way' of Contras in Nicaragua, their view of the greater good has been twisted from that of the other countries in the "free" world. They are killing villages to save them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
