Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO PLYWOODY ?
Well, I am a whole lot busier than I was before, so I probably will not be that frequent a contributor, but I am glad to see that everyone is getting their information from seemingly the same source--Walt Disney's fantasy land.<br /><br />First of all, how can anyone dispute this appears to be the peace from hell in Iraq? Since the war ended we seem to lose a soldier a day over there, we cannot even get power and water back on, and we are heading toward a horribly explosive situation if we don't do something quick. And it is costing American taxpayers 4 billion a month with no end in sight. I don't know about safer, but I know I sure feel poorer.<br /><br />And I know most of you feel that mythical WMD, or terror connections, or nukes, or whatever else they used to justify this war, make no difference. I am sure the administration shares your view, as this war in Iraq was clearly planned long before they had reasons for it.<br /><br />My gripe is more why doesn't the administration just be honest with us? Just say, Saddam was a bad guy, we don't like him, and Iraq has lots of oil, and we need oil--we should just kick him out and take over!<br /><br />And don't say 9/11 ! There was absolutely no credible connection established, before or since the war, with anyone associated with 9/11. There is a better connection between the terrorists and Canada. <br /><br />There are lots of bad guys in this world. What is our new criteria for taking them out? Are we the world's policemen? That is specifically what Bush said he would not do in the last campaign. Or is it necessary that they have natural resources that we covet, and can make immense corporate profits with--and generate huge campaign contributions along the way, of course.<br /><br />We need our new foreign policy stated, and stated honestly this time.
