You should give up with that, Bombeni. The only reason anyone would say, "hey, we are liberating Iraq" is because their first intentions were a huge failure. |
Oh I know all about the ol' switcheroo, how it came to light there weren't really WMD so we decided to call it a liberation campaign. I just figure that goes w/o saying now, everyone has to take that for granted. I am wondering if these current, ghastly shows of violence and intimidation by the "liberees" is having any effect on the people who thought is was such a good idea to "stay the course." |
Rest assured that no matter what happens, there will always be some way to "justify" the war. Just think back on all the stuff that turned out to be wrong, all the money spent and all the time wasted on it, and despite all the mistakes being acknowledged what's changed? Nothing. It won't change. Arguing it is futile.
Those in favor just go from "WMDs," to "Saddam was bad anyway," to "at least Iraqis can vote now" right back to "insert reason here" and so on. It's never going to end. You just have to ride it out.
