mojocattThree anti-dubya posts in one day, a new record maybe.
I think is mostly because for the first time, starting back in early March, I have the feeling that the situation is getting dangerously out of hand. I attempt to mask it with my zany humor, but it is getting to the point where it is difficult to overcome the sorrow of what we are doing. That card site I posted earlier really hit a nerve with me. Even the humorous cards make me angry to look at.
The 9/11 hearings yesterday were nothing. Sure we got caught with our pants down. It happens from time to time.
But the war in Iraq is where we should be holding hearings. No chemical weapons, no nuclear weapon program, no biological weapons, no terrorist links, no anything. Yet we overthrew the goverment and took control, and are now in what is becoming more of a real war as one Marine put it.
I still would like to believe that they would find this proof, proof of a threat to our national security. But as the days pass the lies become clearer, and are reaching critical mass. The Arab world is becoming increasing hostle, many now viewing the war as an occupation and even a crusade by Christians. The Arab goverments are still mostly friendly, but I fear they will not be able to risk ignoring public opinion for much longer. We are starting to look like some serious assholes to the Arab world. Every bullet we fire to bring peace is merely a seed sown, and the harvest could be five fold, ten fold or fifty fold in return, who can tell.
And thats exactly it. Just what the hell are we doing, what is the truth, where is the plan?
I am begining to see the makings of a real war. I can see the events leading to holy war, and even world war. All because a stupid man and his advisors. An almost constant stream of lies, bad intelligence, poor planning, pissed off allies, a economy that is going sour in a hurry, a rising debt by the federal goverment, and for the first time I am begining to view the situation with fear. Fear of what this will become, fear of how we are going to fix all this damage.
I don't want Rowan to have to pick up this mess.
