Putting aside the WMD issue, which everyone, every intelligence agency in the world believed, including Saddam’s own generals thought he had. I always find it odd of Liberals who want to free enslaved people by waving some magic wan, hoping the ruthless dictators and other tyrants will suddenly see the wrongs of their ways and immediately turn over a new leaf. When has this ever happened in human history? Americans forget that under Saddam Hussein, 300K plus Iraqi citizen were murdered, not to mention the systematic rapes and tortures that were just business as normal. And this is real torture, real pain and suffering, not some water boarding technique, which BTW our own elite military units have to endure while in training, but real torture. Liberals want all the world’s nastiness just to go away because they wish it.

If Americans thought Iraq wasn’t worth fighting for wait till we go into Darfur, Sudan. Sudan another Muslim faith base country, 400k murdered in Darfur. Question Liberals must ask themselves, how many of our bravest are they willing to see get killed in Sudan, because it is going to take US boots on the ground to clean up that rats nest, and Americans will die? Don’t sit around hoping for the UN to stop the killing, the UN has demonstrated in situation like this they are about as useful as, forgive me, but tits on a bull.

If we, the USA, are the mightiest country in the world, and let there be no doubt we are, along with that grand title comes the responsibility to free innocent people from the megalomaniacs like Hussein, Sudanese military and the Janjaweed, the Taliban, Pol Pot, Hutu extremists who murder between 500k and 700k Tutsi in Rwanda. If you don’t use that might to stop such atrocities, you are no better than the regimes who are committing them.

One thing is for sure, sitting around hoping and wishing they’ll just go away, hoping they’ll stop the killing, the raping, the maiming, the torturing, hoping they’ll see the light, or making pretty speeches at the UN is sure to produce only more of the same. If one wants to be ashamed of being an American, then be ashamed for it’s lack of courage to use it’s might to correct the world’s wrong, sitting around wringing it’s hand over the atrocities yet does nothing to stop it.

On the other hand we could withdraw from the world scene, and turn over everything over to the UN. Unfortunately the UN and it’s lack of resolve to enforce it’s own resolutions is the number 1 reason why situations like, Hussein, Sudanese military and the Janjaweed, the Taliban, Pol Pot, Hutu extremists who murder between 500k and 700k Tutsi in Rwanda, and why any number of other tyrants exist today.

Even above his stupid “So?” is that damn grin. Really. Grinning. As if there was anything in the question or conversation to grin about.
