Almost?!? irreparable damage to our reputation
Hey,

For eighteen months I've been hearing and reading references to the BFEE's actions causing *almost* irreparable damage. For example, damage in European public opinion back when the invasion was launched. Now in the wake of the prison torture scandal, we're still hearing that "almost" before "irreparable." FOR GOD'S SAKE, what would this accursed administration have to do before people would face up to the fact that the damage is *totally* irreparable in terms of Iraq, and probably the entire Arab world?

I'd like to believe that a Kerry administration can repair the damage done to our standing with our European allies and our neighbors in the Americas. But it is just impossible to believe that anyone can repair what has been done in the Middle East.

1. Well, we started this war
We bombed the hell out of an innocent country and killed thousands. Kerry will probably have to pay reparations. In short, more tax money to repair damage to buildings, infrastructure and people. It's the right thing to do, and the only way to repair our reputation with countries all over the world, including the ME; and, * is asking for even more money, without accounting for the 87B he already received. Iraqis aren't the only people being raped.

2. I suppose people want to cling to hope
Understandable. I mean I'd like to believe a Kerry Administration can improve the situation. But it's just as likely that it won't.
