don't worry, it's not another vietnam

The New York Times > International > Middle East > Insurgents: At Least 26 Die as 3 Car Bombs Explode in Iraq

the more i look at what is going on in iraq, the more i worry about the future of our nation. this isn't working.

i will tell you, though, what iraq has to do with 9/11. in some sort of weird fucked up time thing, 9/11 was a result of the war with iraq. bin laden and his peeps knew what the united states was up to, and thought that they had to make the strike. and just to cement that in the heads of all non-americans, bush stumbled into this really fucking bad joke. and now i am convinced if you ask someone why 9/11 was a heroic maneuver, they would offer the war in iraq as evidence.

either way, i remain convinced that nothing would be different with kerry at the helm (other than that we may not have gone to iraq if kerry were president). we can't forget that these people all get their money from the same place, and if kerry isn't corrupt by now, then people just aren't trying hard enough -- because that man has blowjob lips made perfect for the giant cocks of the corporate world.

and you guessed it, the war is leading us down some really bad roads. there is no end in sight. we will not be winning this without killing a whole lot more people. this is what happens when you force your beliefs on other people: you think you are right so you push, but there is no such thing as "right," so you never get what you want. there will never be the kind of peace that we want in iraq. if we succeed in installing our puppet government, then there will be civil war. and if we don't, more american troops will die.

the people there want the ability to choose their own governments. and that is just something that none of the big cheeses in our government will ever see. i don't know what to say. i just find myself becoming more and more bitter on the whole thing -- apathy is quickly turning to disgust. and there is part of me that wonders if we saw the truth about what is going on over there a little bit more often, if we would feel about this thing in the same vein that people felt about vietnam.

and frankly, i am starting to tire of hearing that we can't just pull out now. why not? fuck you.
