expert says victory impossible in the mid east, page-5

"If the so called insurgents are busy protecting their own Countries

There is less chance of atrocities such as 911 and the London bombing happening again.."

Utter nonsense ghost.
Remind yourself of the dates of these attacks on London and Spain.
Then remind yourself of the reasons (dreadful excuses) the US gave the world for bombing the cr ap out of Iraq.
Remind yourself how these excuses mutated ever since they were spawned.
Remind yourself of how big this insurgency has become SINCE the attack on both, Iraq and Afganistan.
Remind yourself, also of the number of deaths on BOTH sides. Nearly 4,000 american soldiers died in that place. Thousands more are maimed, both physically and mentally. What does the arithmetic tell you, when you compare these deaths to the deaths prior to the attack or to those deaths this invasion would have prevented?

Remind yourself of the number of deaths of Iraqis -and don't give me the propaganda BS that the Iraqis kill their own. The invasion created a maelstrom which spun the population into divisions and brought into the country fighters from all the muslim countries.
The invasion CREATED the danger, not the other way round.
While you're at it, remind yourself of little things like AWB and our disgusting aid to the enemy: Money talks AND kills and does not differentiate between "goodies" and "baddies."

Remind yourself what the world was told by the neo-cons about the length of this war.

Remind yourself of what the UN said about it.

Remind yourself of the number of blatant lies told in its name.

Remind yourself what the soldiers were told about the welcome committee waiting for them with flowers and sweets in their arms.

Remind yourself of what the price of oil was before the invasion and compare it with its current price.

Remind yourself to think, just occasionally about the whole world and not just that around your TV.
