Iraq and Vietnam

After tonight Morialekafa will not appear until Sunday the 25th. Time out for book buying and seafood.



All this talk about whether Iraq is another Vietnam. Who in the hell cares if Iraq is like Vietnam, another Vietnam, or not like another Vietnam. Iraq is a total and utter disaster in its own right. This "war" in Iraq has to be the most illegal, immoral, unconstituonal, and unnecessary crime ever perpetuated by the United States, and by virtually anyone else in history (Nazis were worse but probably only by scale). There can be no justification for what Bush/Cheney and the neocon scumbags have wrought. Thousands of deaths, more thousands of wounded, innocent women and children murdered, entire cities destroyed, toxic chemicals deposited that will last who knows how long and do even more killing. And for what? So far we haven't even managed to steal the oil. Nor have we managed to find WMD's, and we have certainly not "spread democracy" throughout the Middle East. In fact we have done nothing but committed one war crime after another. Invading a sovereign nation that was no threat to us, torturing prisoners, hiding them from the Red Cross, blatant war profiteering, violating virtually all rules of international law, lying to the American people and the world community, and probably even more. And they have no shame, no remorse, apparently no feeling whatsoever about the disaster they have brought about. Bush/Cheney and the neocons are sick people, sick, sick, sick. And anyone who continues to support them is equally sick. It is unbelievable to me that apparently there are still people who do support them. How can this be? Do we have citizens so demented they cannot even understand what is going on? Think about it.
