"Do you REALLY believe that? And you, who is so adamant about saving, not destroying human life?"

Doug, let's you and I cut the shit.

I have asked when your force of invasion--which has become a force of occupation--will be leaving Iraq. All I have heard from the 'element of the right' is that you won't leave until--WHEN?

Define what you mean by a functioning government in Iraq. Do you mean a government with which the people of Iraq are happy or a government with which the American government is happy?

And until you answer that for me, Doug, stop already with the bullshit about what an uncaring individual I am. I have told you before--and I will again in case you forgot--I think Hussein should have been disposed of decades ago. He wasn't because he served the geopolitical purposes of various American administrations, and you know that to be true.

George Bush has continued a policy of disrupting governments that do not serve its purpose. In this case, I think two agendas are at work.

1) The serious intent to 'stabilize' the Middle East

2) The serious intent to secure vast supplies of oil.

As to my feelings for the people getting killed in Iraq: I ain't there pulling triggers or dropping bombs. Soldiers of YOUR country are, WITHOUT UN sanction. Get that straight. And get straight also that MY country refused to participate this time 'round because the UN did NOT sanction what has be a few years of warfare. I suppose you are proud. Frankly, I am more proud of Canada's decision, despite the fact I thought we were wrong initially. So if all you have is shit to throw at me personally, say so. Otherwise, KMA.

PS I missed you on the BNP threads. But then I don't suppose your support of democratic principles extends to being anti-Nazi. Just pro-USA, right?
