I'm all for invading Afghanistan and Pakistan... breaking up Al Queda... and bringing Bin Laden's head into Madison Square Garden on a pike. I'd like to do it without pulling out a fullscale war... but if that's what THAT takes? Sure. I'm down.
But Iraq? Fuck 'em, they don't have shit on us... and if we just had the sense to fucking cut them off from the rest of the world, the coup would dump Sadaam in 10 years, tops. But nooooooo, it's too easy to make billions off his oil, so we play the middle ground and fuck up.
War begets war. Peace begets peace.
We invented Sadaam to fight Iran. We invented Bin Laden to fight Russia.
Maybe if we stop inventing these cats, with wars, we can stop FIGHTING these wars.
