 Posted by Aron on December 08 2005 (Thursday) : 01:03 AMI am getting more and more frustrated with the Democratics in the U.S. Congress. What is their problem? They seem to feel it's better to lie to the American people about the war in Iraq than risk looking "unpatriotic." When right-wing pundints make fun of Democrats for being wishy-washy wimps, I have to agree 100%. Since they need some spine, here is another article which provides yet more easonable arguments why Dean and Murtha are right: the war can't be won and its time to get out of Iraq now! "We can all agree that a strong democracy in the Middle East would have huge benefits for Iraq and for its neighbors as well as for the rest of the world. If I thought that our actions there were actually helping to bring this about, perhaps I might also believe that the benefits of an active democracy outweighed at least some of the many problems we have been creating. But from the beginning, the talk of democracy was a hollow mantra, just one of a group of public rationalizations for a war motivated by the Bush administration's desire to dominate Middle Eastern politics and economics. The U.S. government has never actually relinquished sovereignty to the Iraqi government." < | >
