Peters-- No More Troops

[mburbank]

It's only a 'liberal war' if you believe statements about spreadin' democracy, which I do not. I don't believe it wa about oil, either, so don't get your panties in a knot. That's a joke. I don't think you actually wear panties.

I disagree with part of the statement. I certainly believe Arabs are capable of democracy, under the right conditions, when and if enough of them want it more than the factions want to control each other. They are even (gasp) capable of coming up with some as yet seen method of government that could be superior to Democracy. You never know. I doubt that in all human history to come, Democracy wil prove the end point of governmental evolution.

Here's what I do agree with. Sort of. I think that Iraq today is in worse shape thn it was under Sadaam Hussein. That makes me nothing but sad. I don't think that means Sadaam is what it takes to make Iraq work. But I do think with death tolls around a hundred a day, many of them tortured to death, purple fingers aside, life was better for Iraqis than it is now under Sadaam.
