Eiskrystal, I'm not sure...This is a good post.<br /><br />Eiskrystal, I'm not sure what you didn't like about the example. Were you thinking of the slaughter of them for the safety of our fuel guzzling aircraft?<br /><br />I agree that Iraq could've turned out so much differently. As Saddam clearly made concession after concession, it seemed evident that he was as desperate for peace as Bush was for war. He even offered to step down as leader of Iraq.<br /><br />A different president might have been able to broker a different arrangement with Iraq. One that would have the Iraqis as trading partners now, and made Baghdad an exciting new vacation spot for Americans. Instead we're still fighting a forgotten war there.<br /><br />But then if Bush had been that kind of president, then he wouldn't be famous for starting wars as he made clear that he wished to be remembered for.Weaseldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657976442272800800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861605.post-86220466537518809362010-07-26T08:28:00.303-04:002010-07-26T08:28:00.303-04:00-U.
