Now... how the heck do you propose to bring peace and stability to a region of the world that has NEVER known peace and stability? How do you propose to help people move toward civil rights, when they are oppressed by a religion (Islam) that is the antithesis of civil rights?
...and don't even TRY to say, "Just leave them alone," because that is the polar opposite of EVERYTHING liberals stand for.
The MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED. Saddam was removed from power. But there are a whole lot more missions still needing to be accomplished. |
You are arguing with semantics. Do you really believe that the mission is accomplished in Iraq?
For Bush to fly onto an aircraft carrier and declare victory was a P/R move gone horribly wrong in hindsight. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
