Before anyone gets caught up in this argument, I want to know a few things:
1: Benz Guy, what is your source? Is that quoted from another forum, and if so, who is the original poster's source.
2: When trying to make a political claim, why didn't the original author of that take enough time to spell "are" a-r-e instead of w-r-e.
That said, I want to point something out about this "article."
A cause that takes two years to define is NOTHING in retrospect to the history of the United States. We don't even know what the goal of a capitalist democracy is even 200 years after our own Constitution's notorization by the founders of our society, and even then it was a second attempt after the Articles of Confederation turned out to be a complete fluke. People bitch about 2500+ men and women sacrificing their lives for a cause we aren't sure of. I know what cause they're fighting for; the belief that somehow we have a responsibility as a society to help where it is needed. Not a single person can deny that Saddam Hussein was not ruling in the best interest of his people; the leader of a country has a responsibility to do what is best for the people whom he or she serves. President Bush has not entirely done this, but I think he's done a damn good job considering the amount of shit he's had to put up with. I'm all for seeing him leave office sooner rather than later, but while he's here he's trying to do the best job he sees fit. I don't agree with every single thing, and lately I've begun to think he's done a worse job, but damn.
