The Iraqis Must Wonder if this is Liberation or Hell
A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY
Dear Buzz:
This administration doesn't seem to realize that we could find Saddam Hussein tomorrow, publicly execute him in the middle of Baghdad and it still wouldn't make a bit of difference. The Iraqi people would still hate us. Our soldiers would still die. We came into this country under false pretenses -- to "liberate" with bombs, to kill innocent men, women, and children in our great, arrogant patriotic quest to pilfer oil. We plunged their country into chaos. We could kill Saddam or Osama tomorrow and a thousand would pop up in their places... and who can blame them?
Instead, in its typical pathological, bumbling, short-sighted way, this administration is going after Saddam like a man possessed, convinced he's the answer. Like someone trying to kill a housefly with a bazooka, we conduct our raids, kill and terrify more innocent people, wreak more chaos on this already deeply-wounded country. And yet, we only tighten the noose around our own neck. Why is this administration's answer always more violence? We're always one bullet away from a perfect world. If our leaders want to see the true face of terror, they have only to look in the mirror. Its truly frightening.
