That is something I can agree with. Why invade Iraq? It might be because the American people are already familiar with Iraq, the Kurds, and terrorism. It was easier to convince the ignorant people. It might also be because of the oil wealth. It was an easier path to take.
But I want to see this nation in Sudan, Somalia, and N.Korea more than Iraq. I want to know why there isn't something being done about this NOW, while people can still be saved. There are millions of refugees all through Africa from the hundreds of years of war that has plagued that continent; and the common theme is that there is NO U.S. intervention.
Which brings me to my next point. The world will still hate us. Look at Somalia. The movie Black Hawk Down illustrates what happens when there isn't any U.S. intervention. They absolutely hated the U.S., the information propaganda machine was definitely working at full force there, to the point that women and children were shooting at soldiers who they knew nothing about, only that they were American. America is the worlds favorite scapegoat. "Your hungry? Blame the Americans, they are so wealthy but they take your food away. Your kid is dieing from AIDS? Blame America, they bring AIDS to this country and have medicine to stop it but they don't. Your uncle die from being shot? Blame America, caused this war and they could easily stop the killing in this country."
There are two chilling images that will haunt me for the rest of my life. One is of a U.S. soldier being dragged through the streets, with his body completely desecrated. I am talking cigarette holes in his body, being spit and pissed on, with chunks torn out of his side. In the foreground there are kids smiling and dancing. Another picture is of two male decapitated heads. How do I know they were males? Their entire male organ was shoved in their mouth. Pictures like this open your eyes to the world.
