The most liberated women in any country where islam is the majority religion implacable hatred for islamist nuts (alas, we have our own nuts, vide Ms Kim) kids in school, not cowering in their homes unable even to play in their front yards women walking the streets without fear of rape (other than Uday and Kusay--hey, how many could they rack up in a day on mere frolic, as opposed to policy directed, institutional rape...?) No prospect of unconventional weapons spreading into the general population (Saddam ain't 'bout to share....) Israel slightly constrained in its pogrom program (which, actually, in the long run, would have been better for Israel than the outcome of their unrestrained blood lust run amok--don't cry anti-semit, btw. I am the founder of "ashkenazim for divestiture".) You loved him in '82, show him some love today. Welcome back to the squared circle, Saddam "el guappo" Hussein, Huusseinnn...

Don't you get it yet? They do not intend to leave. They will not say that we are leaving. We are there permanently. They are building permanent bases and the largest Embassy in the world. To the Iraqi's and other Arab's this means we are an occupier not a liberator. We are talking about a permanent, for the forseeable future, detachment of 50,000 soldiers. That is why they are fighting us. We would be fighting anyone in this country who came to stay also. But then you would think we were Freedom Fighters as would I. And you know what I would be one of them. Sometimes it isn't what you feel yourself to be but what the evidence shows. I believe we are good people who mean well. I believe we are better than the terrorist who killed our soldiers but what difference does it make if a terrorist cuts off your head or a "Security expert" beats you to death in Abu Ghraib. There is no moral equivalency. They are both bad. We have to live up to our ideals to win this war. How is that going?

It seems pointless to argue with Kim, since he/she is clearly quite insane. But this particular line still has a high irony to it, given the recent conservative tendency to argue that security against the remotest chance of dying in a terrorist attack is worth the sacrifice of any constitutional liberty, no matter how precious. What was it Sen. Cornhole . . . I mean, Sen. Cornyn said? "Rights don't mean anything if you're dead." Something like that. Why is the same not true for Iraqis? “Surely, chaos is an improvement over ritualized horror.”

I am sick to think of it. We mean well as a nation of that I am sure but these are the unintended consequences of war and a war where the initial decisions were so bad, has been made worse by ideological decisions instead of by listening to the Generals who study and plan for war. I don't even care anymore that the decision to go to Iraq was based on cherry picked intelligence or that the rationale has changed over and over, what really makes me mad is that having made the decision to go we did not do it well. This will harm our reputation for many years to come. What a nightmare for the Iraqi people that surpasses anything we had on 9-11. This is a nightmare that is 3 and 1/2 years old. And sadly it has nothing to do with 9-11. This is a national shame. No need to waste your breath, PrchrLady cause Kim is an appeaser. She would have gone along in Germany and found a way to say it was better. Dead is dead wheather it is from Sadam or from a foreign liberator. And the horror of 3 years of violence and your property being destroyed along with your economy and your lives and living in fear of kidnapping and ied's. Yea I am sure the Thank you notes are in the mail. It is amazing that our leaders have unleashed this violence with their incompetence. I am sick to think of it.
