How the wisdom of "You break it you bought it" got drowned out is one of our generation's biggest tragedies. I remember reading a few articles about how fractionated the groups in Iraq were. We knew enough to understand what a fool's errand this was. It reminded me of a white South African who told me while apartheid was being ended that Americans had no idea the bloodbath it would unleash between people who hated each others guts for generations. And he acknowledged how immoral apartheid was, he wasn't defending it. It was one of my first wake up calls to the complex reality of life that sometimes you are only negotiating the thickness of bread on your shit sandwich. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "WillyTex" <willytex@> wrote: > > > > Curtis: > > > Going into Iraq was a stupid idea from what was known IMO... > > > > > Maybe so, but almost everyone thought Saddam had WMD and would > > use them. > > "Almost everyone" was deliberately misled by Bush and Cheney, > who pretended the evidence was much more conclusive and > certain than it actually was. >
