Political FAQ

..... War waged... mission accomplished... nothing found... conflict continues... underlying problem? Not resolved. Leaving...? Hundreds of soldiers and civilians dead. Reason for war justified? No one knows. What justification? 911? Maybe. 'Evil axis@ Regime'? Maybe. or WMDs...? Maybe. The guessing goes on. World Stability? On the rocks. Make it a double. Pressure mounts? Yes. Osama, the main cause for concern found? No. A government elect for Afghanistan? Maybe. Conflict resided in Afghan? No. Iraq defeated? Yes. Saddam found? Yes. Ba'ath separatists eliminated? No, Scattered in fact. War continues? Yes. Economic turmoil? Yes. Economic uncertainty? Yes. More innocent victims? Yes. Tension mounts? Yes. Dirty work left for the ever noble UN? YES. Involving? The world. Left by? B&B... under the pretext of 'coalition'. Safer place to live in? No. Nuclear warheads aimed at eact other? YES. What's next? Go ahead... give it your best shot.

I stumbled upon a few blogs recently on these issues and I cant help but notice how certain quarters can be so naive in their comments. The unprecedented truth is not known and probably wont be known for ages to come and yet, they can be so certain, dead sure that what the so-called 'coalition' did was right on! Yes... you might be right to think that Saddam wasnt on the right track and he might have shifted some of these 'proclaimed' WMDs to Syria... but who are they to think that they can launch a pre-empted strike against a country and still feel damn proud of it even though the root of the problem has not been solved? Yes... Afghanistan has been defeated... and yes... the 911 incident was a catastrophe beyond comprehension and these people should be brought to justice... but Osama is still running like a wild cat, regrouping as he goes along... uniting the Al-Qaeda network like no one's business... why? why are these people so infuriated with the Americans that they vow to take them on until their last breath? why not other countries? why is the hatred so deep? why must the actions of certain leaders bring religions around the world to a standstill? Crusade? Jihad? gimme a break!

Why does the most powerful nation in the world have military presence in the Gulf... and for that matter... around the world? What is it protecting? Peace? Resources? Why must they be so intimidating? ... Why don't they solve their own crimes and woes in their home counties before solving others? Imagine this... if other countries were to send their military forces into the coast surrounding the States, how would they feel? There you go...Of course, no one wants to see the likes of strangers taking aim at their country from far. The underlying cause is? Solve the freaking Palestinian-Isreali conflict and you'll see a better outcome! This conflict is about the 'people' and 'land' issue.... please dont' politicize religion and I am referring to both sides. Rid those SOB that do no want peace. Get to the root of the problem! <...to be continued...>
