Pandora's Box
The British police foiled plans of a terrorist cell to use liquid explosives to take down passenger planes over the Atlantic. The Bush regime didn't foil anything, but they used the incident to make it look as if they are doing a great job in the war on terror. The work of the British police proves that John Kerry was correct, when he said in 2004, that the right way to fight terrorism was with policework. Unfortunately, many American still believe we can win against terrorists by using our military to invade oil rich Muslim countries.
Iraq has proven that military intervention is not going to win the war on terror. The way to defend our homeland from terrorists is with old-fashioned police work and by securing our ports, borders, airports, chemical and nuclear plants.
By invading Iraq, we opened a Pandora's box, and involved our military in a civil war, which was looming before we got there. It's a sectarian civil war between Shias and Sunnis. We are not better off with Saddam gone, because he was our shield against a terrorist spawning ground in Iraq. There were a few al Qaeda in the northern part of the country, which Saddam did not control because of a no fly zone, which we imposed. He would never have allowed al Qaeda in Iraq, because they were a threat to his authority. The aid Saddam was giving to the Palestinians was limited to giving money to the families of suicide bombers after Israel bulldozed the homes of the family to the ground.
Richard Clarke author of "Against All Enemies" wrote: "We invaded and occupied an oil rich Arab country that posted no threat to us and we delivered to al Qaeda the greatest recruitment propaganda imaginable." Clarke was counterterrorism czar for the Clinton administration, who served under four presidents beginning as an analyst on nuclear weapons under Reagan. He was in charge of the White House situation room on 9/11.
Politicians are unable to to figure out how to take advantage of the civil war. Is it possible that since, they're now fighting each other there, we don't have to fight them here or there? Our enemies are divided, and all we have to do is get out, because Iraq is not going to get better while we're there.
Some politicians are predicting, that if we leave Iraq the Iranians will take over. None of the predictions about Iraq by the Bush propagandists has come true, but they expect us to give this one credibility. Furthermore, if democracy takes hold in Iraq the Iranians will have won, because the Shias make up more than 60% of the population in both Iraq and Iran.
