I admire & support our brave troops, but if we "succeed" in Iraq

[mtnsnake]

or if Bush convinces the masses of fools that he's succeeded, the world will become a much more dangerous place and thousands more of our troops will be killed or maimed, along with hundreds of thousands more deaths of innocent civilians in other future countries we attack for oil.

The way I see it.....

1) A Bush "success" in Iraq = war in the next country he deems applicable = fear of terrorists here forever.
or
2) A Bush "failure" in Iraq = getting our troops back home where they belong = the world being a safer, more stable place.

Sad to say, if the elections in Iraq are considered any kind of success, this world automatically becomes a much more dangerous place with George the Conquering Coward jamming "democracy and freedom" down the world's throat to cloak his cause for control of the world's oil. If he thinks he can get away with what he's done in Iraq, that will only make him attack the next country in line in Chapter 2, "Iran", of a long nightmarish book of horror. If we "succeed" in Iraq, I'm worried that our country will be at war with the world for countless decades to come.

Is it okay to think that Bush's impending failure in Iraq is the only hope there is of making the world a safer place?

1. It's okay. I hope he fails, too.

I feel for the troops, but we have no business starting wars based on false pretenses. I don't know if the administration will be able to make Iraq a success, but they don't need to. They will shift attention to another event. Remember Osama bin laden? Forgotten.

2. It is terrible it has come to this:

The bad news is that Bush has destroyed our military and diplomatic power so that the US can't be a force for good.

The good news is that Bush has destroyed our military and diplomatic power so that the US can't be a force for evil.

Our current president is so craven, so incompetent, so drawn to using war as a means to personal power, that the US and the world is better off with a weakened US.

I'll never forgive Bush for ruining the greatest hope for mankind the world has ever known, the US.
