Geez, what a match of wits.
I think it stinks that our troops are in a war of attrition against holdout Saddamites, never mind the Shiitehead mullahs ranting and raving. Like most theocrats, their mind is made up.
Departing Iraq now simply betrays those who laid it down, making all those deaths utterly pointless with no redeeming end result for the living. I don't think so.
I just heard through the back door about a Pew Trust poll of other nationalities and the striking number was that comparatively few believe that an individual can control his or her own destiny, while in American and Canada, 65 and 63 percent believe otherwise.
The difference? The US is a republic that believes in individual rights, and the Canadians hear about that all the time because American media is relatively dominant. In the socialistic and worse states of the rest of the world, unless you have the right connections to get the government to pick a good niche for you, you're stuck in your rut, left to fate.
It's scary that we are trying to change such a pervasive mindset for the Iraquis and say, Hey, you CAN choose a better country! That's why we're here, you MORONS!
