I don't feel like having another arguement about it, but I can only say one thing. I told you so, and stuff like the enbassy bombing has been continuing since the war ended like I said it would. Not everything I said has come true but give it some time, and it will continue to unfold. I'm not trying to play Nostradamus here as most who don't agree with me are probably thinking, I just knew it wasn't going to play out all pretty like the government wanted us to think. Heck they didn't even have proof of WMD when they went to war, they found out that they made it up, BTW where are those WMD's??

Sorry if that was alittle too passionate, but I don't like the feeling of the world crumbling underneath my feet and not being about to do anything about it. So when I'm asked I'm going to say my thoughts.

A friend of mine came across a really interesting article recently, I wish I had the link for it. The writer essentially suggested that Saddam might have been trying to make the US think he had WMDs so as to discourage an invasion. If that was his intention, it obviously backfired. I won't say that's necessarily the case, but it is an interesting theory.

Anyway, this is what I know: More people are alive than would have been, Saddam may have disarmed so as to get the UN off his back (I still won't be suprised to see caches of Biological or Chemical weapons dug up at some point), but it's pretty easy to see that Saddam's long term plans were NOT peaceful. So I'm glad to see him gone, I still think it was the right thing to do, and if it helps get rid of GW, then that's cool by me too.

Right now I'm much more concerned with rebuilding Iraq than anything. Unfortunately, it does seem that Saddam was a bit prophetic when he said "you can't take the blood" to the US; some very minor harassment of troops it seems is enough to turn popular opinion to withdrawing and giving up on the country - probably the worst thing we could do at this point.


And no, the world is not crumbling. It's gone through far worse before and will survive worse things in the future.
