You know, I've tried to stay out of this insane war discussion as much as possible, but as far as this is concerned, I think I've had it.
I'm so tired of these ignorant slob pundits in the pro-war pro-Bush camp. They think as long as they "won" the war they have the right to go as far as they want in trying to humiliate anyone who speaks out opposing Bush's war policies.
Well, guys, I have news for you: as far as anyone can tell, the war isn't over, nor has it actually been won.
American soldiers moving in the streets throughout Iraq are followed, not by adoring crowds, but by people who just wish they would go home and stay out of their country's hair at this point. "It sucks, it's not fair, we cleaned up their mess", but it's the truth. Ask any reporter over there who's talking to more than just the troops and U.S. politicians.
And let's not forget that it's entirely possible that Saddam's still alive. No one's found his body yet, and not for lack of trying, and all of those recent stories referencing his bounty offer for killing American soldiers were a little disturbing. But then again, it didn't concern us that he was left alive the last time either.
So all of you pundits out there heralding the great triumph of the U.S. over the Hussein regime: I'm not holding my breath. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched-- you may yet end up with a great big omelette and egg on
your face.
-UPDATE-
This rant has more to do with the slamming of other people's views, and apparently then necessarily their lives, than the realities of either side's arguments. After all, what's right is often subjective and seen through the filter of a myriad of factors. All I'm saying is let's not get carried away here-- just because I oppose Bush and you're all for him, it doesn't mean that we have to hate each other and throw eggs. This isn't junior high. --S
