Certainly Bush and his gang of criminals had their motives for attacking Iraq. That isn’t the reason for the stupidity however. The reason is that you and I allowed it to happen.
We didn’t care that UN inspectors told us time and again that they could not find WMD.
We didn’t care that almost no other country would support our headlong rush to idiocy.
We didn’t care that Congress did not authorize this stupidity and that our Constitution was generally ignored.
We didn’t care that we sent our children and neighbors to a foreign country until the bodybags started coming back and we are asked to donate money for rehabilitation centers to take care of our kids who are crippled and maimed.
We didn’t care if we would kill and injure nearly as many women and children in Iraq in 3 years as Hussein did in 40 because we have God on our side.
We wanted “the whinin’ and the cryin’ and the shootin’ and the dyin’”. We loved to tell the rest of the world that we are tough and strong hell man we’re a SUPERPOWER!
