Common Sense
This is an additional response to the anonymous letter, posted yesterday.
Sensible Americans don’t claim to have the whole truth, because we need to work towards what is best for America. Those that claim scripture provides all the answers have already made up their mind, which makes evidence irrelevant and argument a waste of time.
Bush and his righteous supporters are incapable of taking advice or considering dissenting views. They frequently resort to character assassination, insults and misinformation. In a reality-based world better outcomes are achieved when we operate on the basis of common sense, which may not be that common.
I’ll attempt to apply some common sense observations. The Bush regime would have little interest in the region or the people of Iraq, if America was not addict to oil. We have five percent of the world’s population, but we consume 25% of its oil. The reason we didn’t invaded Cuba to spread democracy is that Cuba doesn’t have oil.
Common sense suggests the chaos in Iraq was created by our occupation, because Saddam Hussein’s secular regime ruled Iraq with an iron fist. Religious extremist and al Qaeda were a threat to his authority and were not tolerated.
If, Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, Iraq certainly wouldn’t have aimed them at America. They would have been retained to deter the Iranians from attacking. Only a national leader, who wished to be incinerated would use a nuclear bomb on America, knowing that his country would be pulverized off the face of the earth within a few hours, by our enormous nuclear might.
Before the invasion, Iran was hemmed in by Saddam Hussein on the west and the Taliban on the east. We did Iran a great favor by invading Iraq, because Iraq has ended up with a Shiite dominated government, which isn’t prepared to make any political concession to have a united country.
Furthermore, we provided al Qaeda the greatest recruitment propaganda imaginable and created a terrorist spawning ground. If democracy is able to take hold in Iraq, the Iranians will have won, because the Shiites make up more than 60% of the population in both Iraq and Iran.
