Hussein, the 9/11 Scapegoat Is Dead, But Is the USA Any Safer?
So, the mother of all scapegoats is dead. Saddam Hussein's execution was such an unbelievable debacle that I bet the Bush and al-Maliki governments would like to bring him back from the dead so that the hanging can be done again. No matter how much the Bush administration and the U.S. military try to distance themselves from the shameful execution process, they can't. The al-Maliki government is seen as a U.S. puppet with visible strings.
Well now that the 9/11 scapegoat Hussein is gone, is the USA any safer from terrorism? Also, what about Afghanistan, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden? Wasn't the war in Iraq a very costly detour in the sand? Let's hope the Democrats can correct course and stop the sacrificing of more U.S. military and Iraqi civilian lives.
We've lost too many bright souls; we've lost the battle for Middle-East hearts and minds; we've lost face; we've lost the moral high ground; we've lost international respect; we've lost zillions of dollars that would be better spent on U.S. soil and, yes, we HAVE lost the war in Iraq. So isn't it high time we lost our stubborn arrogance and our destructive pride?
