After all these years and the mighty western invasion, the liberated Iraq is completely disintegrating again.. Anarchy is the reigning champion now in the ‘free’ nation and most of the war gains are lost.
Perhaps most delicate issues are left classified. I could only imagine the Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue now as the Obama Administration has to grapple with what to do—should they let it spiral more or try something militarily? The President wanted to be the man who ended two wars.
But now Gulf War II could become Gulf War III.. is the nation ready to fulfill a commitment it made?
Is the neocon crowd set to clean up their mess? Are the Freedom Fries eaters prepared to sacrifice? It’s been ten years + since TIME magazine asked if we want this war.
We did then, we thought..We even burned DIXIE CHICKS albums to prove it.. after it was over we hated it, and ourselves. But taking a long look in the mirror is not enough after you destroy a nation.
Rebuilding is one thing.. but securing something we broke is another. And this place is broken—and apparently breaking further by the day and by the hour..
