Kind of like going back to the Ottoman Empire that existed before WWI.
It was Britian, France, and the US that royally screwed that region when they broke up the Ottoman Empire after WWI. These three countries bear a lot of responsibility for the sectarian violence in Iraq by their actions after WWI and the ten year long war they all started by invading a sovereign country, that had nothing to do with 9/11.
This group of bozo's are directly responsible for getting the war started.

No, no no! The Bushes don't have to explain anything. Their family is a dynasty! Don't you realize that?

"... moral clarity......"? WTF? What "moral clarity" do these people possess to speak of? What, they think because they are polite and refrain from using profanity and wear their flag lapel pins and pray for the troops (as they tell lies and send them off to die in a bullshit war) that it's all "moral" a-a-a-and........Boy, I'll tell you what.............Ima have to have a drink on that one. Holy shit.....
Regards,
Dave

God damned liars and war criminals are how I view Dubya & Cheney. No hyperbole and no qualifications. I'm watching "The World According To Cheney" right now. Sick bastards.

No, 'one world' is alive and well, Bush or Obama. You'd think after a fashion the left would be pleased, as the more centralized the government becomes worldwide the more uniformity can be forced
So what happened to 'blood for oil'? Seems that might have been a little disproved.

Aren't you getting tired of making bogus arguments in support of the Iraq war? BTW, pretty much all of the northern European social democracies opposed our invasion. Freedom fries, anyone?

They're only into bombing.
If we do it.
I'm feeling sarcastic

I gotta say that the French-led liberation of Libya was far better managed (with far fewer casualties) than our Iraqi clusterf*ck.

They are two completely different things, no? And I'd argue, considering the cost and material, that their leadership was figurative.
