| war IS terror.. when the enemy can't use satellite guided bombs, they have to resort to other tactics. in the end, the result is the same - people get killed. you have no right to judge their ends vs. means - being someone who believes that through war we can impose democracy. i'll bet that you are more moved by the images of people getting decapitated than by the thousands of iraqi civilians who have died by OUR HANDS. it's a nice double standard, but one that i'm not willing to partake in.
we are more interested in securing continued access (read: control) over iraqi oil flows than we are in iraqi democracy. why did we push for chalabi so much when nobody supported him? why are we pushing for alawi now even though nobody supports him?
don't read too far into the propaganda, it only helps to crowd out the ability to think for yourself. (being racist is another way to negate thought as well.) |
