You know Afganistan is essentially a warlord state today right? Last year 520,000 acres of land were devoted to the production of at least 5,000 tons of poppy seed that was subsequently refined into heroin and exported all over the world to pay for.... here it comes, terrorist weapons.

You also know the American friendly party in the Iraqi election won ~10% (or lost 90%?) of the vote and that is not including votes from the 25% of Iraqi's who hate them most and were too busy fighting an insurgency to bother voting. The party who won? Oh yeah, none other then the Iran aligned party that "swears to Allah they won't align with Iran or listen to the Grand Atohla's as long as America hands over power ASAP", no really, they swore!!! "Go USA, all the way!" or maybe, "My oil is your oil" would be better stickers???

Second place in the election? Oh yeah, the Kurdish alliance, a party essentially devoted to the establishment of a free northern state. Something in direct opposition to what America promised Turkey pre-war and something that would trigger civil war in Iraq (not to mention Turkey, one of the largest potential powder kegs in the world right now).... compared to just plain old 'insurgency' of today.

blah blah blah....

Funny though, Iraq war has cost another 100 billion dollars just since the last time this came up....

But your right, tying up the bulk of American forces for the last 5 and next 10 years, using up the political capital of 9/11 destablizing world security, legitmizing the use of force by anyone over anyone, spending 300 billion dollars (so far), ignoring Korea and Iran, both greater threats to security pre and post Iraq niot to mention 9/11, killing 100,000+ innocent people in Iraq, another 10,000+ in Afganistan, and 2,000 Americans to get all that done was definitely the right 'action'.

Heaven forbid someone took a deep breath and actually spent some of that money fighting real terroists instead of creating new terrorists, or trying to subdue Korea, a country that is ACTUALLY dangerous.... or EVEN avenging 9/11 and not off padding the pockets of industrialists at the expence of the tax payer....

What do you care? As long as people are dying you are happy, SOMETHING is happening, right? Show up at chuch, think how good it is more muslims died today then christians....post it all on calgarypuck, then off to bed...
