Bush LIED!!! He LIED!!!

[Decadent Maestro]

I hate to wander off the path of current politics, but I felt a strong urge to add my opinion about Hawaii.

Ever since I read about Princess Kaiulani of Hawaii, I've felt guilty about invading other countries for the good of our own. Do we have the right to change the way others live, just because we can? There's no real answer, I suppose, though I've contemplated it many times (and I'm sure many of you have, also).

(Back to the present)

I was against the war in Iraq, and I still strongly dislike war and its tolls. However, when I read the stories of many of the Iraqi people who were "liberated", I can't help but think that in a way, the war was useful - it helped these people to live without the fear of total oppression. It's all very confusing, and leaves me torn at times. If there is a chance of bettering a people's lives ('better' in their terms), should another country attempt it, maybe at great cost to themselves?

Leave your thoughts, please.
