People who support the irrational, ill-advised, counter-productive war with Iraq get pretty shrill when confronted with the opportunity to defend it. Thats understandable - I certainly wouldn't want to have to defend such a bloody, and expensive waste of our resources, and our kid's lives. I certainlt wouldn't want to try to explain it to a parent. Imagine knowing your child died for no reason other than an ignorant ego-maniac's stupidity?



Those who try to defend this bloody mess often claim we did it to enforce a UN Resolution. Imagine! The US going to war to enforce a UN resolution! Isn't it terrible that supporters of this pontless war are driven to such desperate measures in order to justify it? What a shame that they are so delusional. Many will die because of their delusion.



The UN weapons inspectors were all over Iraq. They had U2's, low flying spy planes, all the ground inspections they needed - and they found no weapons of mass destruction. Cheney was afraid they would go public with their well researched conclusion - that there were no WMDs, so he rushed to war. The poor kids who died because they didn't have the armor on their vehicles died because Cheney wouldnt wait. What was his rush? The Inspectors were proving that Iraq had no WMDs, but they couldn't except the truth. So kids died, hundreds of billions are spent. What a shame.



This war was waged for no good reason. It was waged too soon without proper preparations. As many as half the deaths are attributed to improperly equipped soldiers. But then, the war mongers never fought in a war - they dodged it. But they don't mind sending other's kids to their deaths.



This war isn't over. In fact, its just getting started. It will last a lifetime. It will be one of the most amazing facts in history that it could have all been avoided if it weren't for a small group of dumb, cowardly ego maniacs with a messianic vision.
