Like many Greek tragedies, pride and arrogance have been the downfall of leaders and nations. Our country is not exempt from these human weaknesses. Now that most people in America (64%) and even right-wingers with a modicum of honesty realize; the Bush administration misled the nation to promote the war in Iraq. Now, that is a real reason to impeach a president and 45% of the truly patriotic public agree. Instead of just admitting there were no WMD and saying, “Oops, I guess we were wrong about that,” then leave, “w” makes up other superfluous reasons to continue his war. Now we are less secure than before. He could have just said, “thank you” and be on his way, then declare “mission accomplished again.” He could go back to his Texas tea parties where deep down they don’t want to admit the truth because, “They can’t handle the truth!” Their pride gets in the way. After all, we know he will never admit to any mistakes because God talks to him and tells him what to do. This is the arrogance and perverted reasoning they use and then expect the public to believe we are exporting democracy to Iraq. They have had civil war between the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds for centuries. They want us out. The only reason the terrorists are there is because they know they can keep knocking off our troops a little at a time and drain our federal budget just like they did with the Russians in Afghanistan. The cost of war in lives and money was too much for Russia. We will end up the same if we don’t acknowledge our mistake and get out. By the way, why haven’t we heard about “you know who?” Remember him? You know; the guy responsible for 911four years ago; the guy that Bush ignored the warnings about flying into buildings. If we told Iraq that U.S. troops would be gone at the end of the year, they would have to fight it out themselves. With us gone the terrorists would have no reason to be there just like before. We abandoned Viet Nam and they’re OK. They make some of the best Nike’s in the world today. Staying in Iraq just emboldens the terrorists. It is the best recruiting tool Bin Laden could have dreamed of. Why go to the U.S. to kill Americans when they can just let the American’s come to them? Think of the billions of dollars we have wasted compared to the pittance terrorists spend fighting us on their terms and in their global strongholds. They can beat us by bankrupting us and they are well on their way to doing just that. Iraq, Egypt, Libya and many other Muslim countries weren’t a threat before Bush’s war and they will never be democracies like we want. We can’t even get our allies like Saudi Arabia to be democracies. How do we expect Iraq to ever be one? We need to concentrate on real threats like Iran and N. Korea who do have real weapons of mass destruction. I think “w” may have misunderestimatated the common sensicalessness of the American people. They are beginning to wake up to the deception of the last four years. They don’t like being lied to and tricked when it comes to their money, jobs and the lives of their children. This whole sordid “W”ar just a lie. It is indeed a sad Greek tragedy.
