*sigh* Here we go again…
I understand your frustration Dave-O. You end up here, on this old post - almost one year since I wrote this piece - and in the meantime, you have found yourself proven wrong on all accounts, as far as Iraq and the war are concerned.
And it's not looking too good for the future either. November will be cold I'm afraid.
That is too bad for you. I'm really sorry that you shall see your whole world falling apart (but you know, it was built on treacherous quicksand to begin with. Learn a lesson: Socialism is inherently wrong Dave-O).
On second thought, I'll take that back. I'm glad "“ no, wait, I'm jubilant - that you shall see your whole world falling apart. Because when the kind of world you're yearning for, stands, people live in misery, starve and die at the hands of political polices or behind the barbed wire of the Gulag or the Laogai.
Your sad post is typical of your kind: full of approximate concepts, ludicrous lessons directly inspired by an ideological magma - repeatedly debunked nonetheless - carefully out of reality's way and eventually devoid of any substance.
This is one of the reasons why I won't bother addressing any of the points you're… not really making. (The other being that I'm tired of barking moonbats who snatch at 'jewels' of outdated propaganda such as "We Armed Saddam" and "Blame America First". Stick to those weak parcels of opinion and dogma if it makes you feel better or safer. As for me, sorry Dave-O, but you're way too far into the 4th Dimension, or whatever you call that La-La Land of yours.)
You're not proving me wrong and you can't prove yourself right, on both ethical and factual grounds. Yes, I know my good man: that is the root of your frustration.
I'm sorry Dave-O, but I can't help you, if you can't help yourself. The only meaningful part of your comment is actually that mistake you're making, about who will, could or should convince who, as if my intention was to convince self-deluded folk like you, Dave-O.
Well, that's too bad my good man.
You see, I'm having too much fun watching you and your kind running in circles and yelling the various PC Approved Slogans such as "Chile!", "We Armed Saddam!", "They Hate Us But It's Our Fault!" (And, at least up to a recent date, "Dean For America!" but that's not the point here, really).
Should you ever succeed to overcome your denial of reality I could even be glad to exchange some views with you. I mean, surely I can find 3 or 5 minutes to lose.
But first, you'll have to follow your own 'advice' and read history.
Start with who really armed Saddam for instance.
