In case you were wondering whether Saddam’s execution would magically solve the problem for the US that is called Iraq, here’s a hint: It didn’t and it won’t:
American deaths in the Iraq war reached the sobering milestone of 3,000 today even as the Bush administration sought to overhaul its strategy for an unpopular conflict that shows little sign of abating.…
But don’t worry, this administration feels justified still in being there:
And you wonder why I’m bah humbugging the New Year? I see stories and statements like that and it just adds to my general gloom, even if I am not an American, and Canada is not involved in this campaign. But not to worry.. Bush has less then 2 yrs to go. He can only do so much damage before he has to leave.
Quagmire? I don’t think the US sees Iraq as a problem. The US empire pre-dates, and will persist after, the Bush administration. I’d say that recent events remind us of just how in control they are.
