I promised myself I would continue to write this blog, even if no one was reading it but me. So, here goes.
I have a question for anyone reading this missive: Can you tell me what success/victory means in the Iraq War? I have been waiting for someone to say exactly what that looks like. But, no. No General, Congressman or President (either Bush or Cheney) has given any explanation of victory.
Does that mean that Iraq becomes a democracy? I laugh. The best we'll get is a Theocracy and then it will look more like Iran. The only real democratic government in the Middle East is Israel and I doubt if another nation in the area even has an idea of how to become a Republic. So, just what would it look like if there is this 'victory.'
Women shedding their burkas and removing veils. No more of their abominable gutteral warbling. Women can drive and go to school. Couples who aren't married can have sex. Homosexuality is allowed. There is equality among the sexes. No more racism between sects. And, of course, the most important one...Capitalism will explode all over Iraq and people can worry about healthcare and where their next paycheck is coming from.
Hmmm, is this a good idea and when will it happen...so they can be just like US.
