It appears that many Muslims worldwide
oppose the hamfisted tactics of the Bush Administration and the seeming desire of the West to occupy Muslim lands and Holy Places.
And the notion that we are in the middle east to democratize their politics, and "liberate" their women rings very hollow. So we can't fault the Muslims for not beliving our goofball propaganda attempts, when few outside the Muslim world believe it either.
After all most of the "autocracts" either were or are on the CIA payroll. And that includes Saddam AND Osama.
SO A LITTLE SELF REFLECTION ON THE HYPOCRACY OF THE WEST IS IN ORDER.
Of course the REAL REASONS Bush is in Iraq is 1. OIL 2. ISRAEL AND 3 POPPY BUSH'S GULF WAR.
DUBYA WANTED TO "FINISH" POPPY BUSH'S WAR, REMEMBER? TO "CORRECT" POPPY'S "MISTAKE" ABOUT NOT "TAKING OUT" SADDAM.
Secondly, much of the American foreign policy in the middle east is dictated by the Israeli Lukudnics both in Israel and in high places inside the US.
Amazingly, RELIGIOUS FANATICISM is equally wrong about valid policy NO MATTER if it's Christian, Jewish or Muslim. In short, we let the fanatics dictate policy in the middle east for too long and now there is HELL to pay!
Finally, it appears that the Neocons thought that they could "secure" our oil supply "on the cheap" by "liberating" the tongue-less people of Basra
ALAS, DUBYA'S MISTAKE HAS NOW PUSHED OIL TO RECORD LEVELS! (REMEMBER IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE WAR WHEN NEOCON SHILLS WERE ON TV DAILY TALKING ABOUT $10 OIL "AFTER THE WAR?"
Hmmmmmm......? Well, perhaps they meant ten dollars per gallon gas in the US!
SELDOM IN HISTORY HAS A FOREIGN ADVENTURE BEEN SO TOTALLY WRONG AS THE BUSH/NEOCON WAR IN IRAQ. THE WAR IN IRAQ IS TRULY THE "GIFT" THAT KEEPS ON GIVING...AND THE END IS NOWHERE IN SIGHT.....
