Default The Vision

The premise of the war was false.

There were no WoMD.

There were no "collaborative links" to Al Qeada.

There were no links to 9/11.

There was low list of a Mushroom cloud coming from Iraq.

The Premise that this war was for some kind of imminent threat self defense was WRONG

What DO we have over 1000 US troops dead and more from the UK and others!!!!

So what "justifications" for a war in Iraq do we have left.....

A Vision of worldbuilding to create a more peaceful and democratic Middle East through the use of force. Get rid of an evil guy we don't like and while we are at it, democratize a country, secure a place for a permanent military base in the middle east, and put a more friendly government on top of the worlds 2nd largest oil supply. This is what is advocated in more subtle terms by Dick Cheney and others long before 9/11. At the Project for the New American Century before Dick Cheney became Vice President he signed off on extremely consevative policy suggestions that even themselve stated would most likely not be implemented without "a new Pearl Harbor".

You know what... That is not what I want to vote FOR.

I want to vote for a Change from this idiotic thinking being in charge.

I want to vote for a man who thinks this was the wrong war at the wrong time....

However, Being that phase one of the mission, taking over Iraq, was finished... We can not trun back now. But Kerry is not turning back, he is for finishing the job in Iraq. He is for democratizing the country. But he understands that to do that requires making an indepent country that will participate in teh world environment. And the world environment should be involved in creating their new partner. It is in everyones best interest to have a free society rise in Iraq. Kerry is not against freedom.
