National Intelligence Estimate suggest that America is less safe because of the war in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Sadaam Hussein was a secularist and against religious zealots. Now that He’s gone we left a power vacuum that is being filled by a Shia led religious political party that has close ties, inevitably, with Iran. Invading Iraq was what Osama bin Laden wanted because it played to the narrative that America is an Imperialist power that has a long noted history of supporting dictators and oppressors in Iraq, i.e. Sadaam, Musarev, The Shah Pahlevi of Iran, Pinochet, Mubarak of Egypt etc. Iran is the main beneficiary of the War in Iraq. Half of all oil demand of the U.S. is by the Military. The fact is that Joel is rationalizing his parties actions. Anyone can do it it’s the best and worst thing about humanity. Also, you guys went to school in Evanston? Where about? I go to Loyola. Are you guys local chi-towners? What’d you major in?
THE WAR IS OVER IF YOU WANT IT!
