<<Okay, time to fess up. It was me. I did it. I approved the war against
Militant Islam. It was the right thing to do and still is. It's not like
I was having a bad day. Really put thought into it. Weighed the
alternatives. Pondered. Paced a bit. And I approved it. Big stamp with
red ink pressing out the word APPROVED inside a rectangular red ink
frame. That was me.>>
Damn, and I thought it was *me*. Everything from the expulsion of Adam &
Eve from the garden to world hunger is because of me, my children will tell
you. (I've tried the "having a bad day excuse, but the response seems to be,
'how many bad days can one woman have??). Oh, I mean, I'm so glad it wasn't
me!
What I really mean is, evil and sadistic and vile as Hussein was, he neither
represented, assisted, nor sponsored Militant Islam. Could we please try to
keep that fundamental difference straight if we're to discuss any of the
incredible ME confusion with any clarity at all?
No one pushed Shock & Awe on Baghdad because they thought NYC or CA or WA or
anywhere else in the continental US would be safer from Islamic Militants
(Militant Islamics?) as a result. But the administration *did* take advantage
of a) the incredible fear factor immediately following 9/11 and b) the
overwhelming ignorance on the part of the U.S. population to invade a country
for
its own profit (political and financial profit) and in so doing strengthened
Militant Islam hugely. Dem's and Rep's alike were fear-blinded sheep,
grazing, led to the slaughter of so many, manipulated.
Just my two cents' worth.
