At last night's Republican debate held in Boca Raton, Florida, all the Republicans were asked if the Iraq war was worth all the blood and treasure. With the exception of Ron Paul, they all gave basically the same answer, Saddam was a bad man and McCain went as far as to say that Rumsfeld was the problem or we would have already "won". If we are not good at something, such as nation destruction and rebuilding, no amount of good intentions can make up for that level of incompetence. We still haven't put New Orleans back together and no one is shooting down there. The truth be known, the United States attacked Iraq for the oil resources and that makes us pirates and piss poor ones at that. No amount of revisionist history or lipstick on the Iraq pig is going to make that chapter of American history a success story. I am sure that the dead and maimed, if they could all speak the same language or speak at all would say the best thing for Iraq is for some real peace makers to take the bull by the horns and figure out what is right for Iraq. As I said, the United States of America wants the oil a lot more than peace in the Middle East, that makes us imminently unqualified to have a say any longer. 3,932 American soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen didn't have to die in the name of oil gluttony.
