Did 1,868 US Troops Die For Islam? |
|
If I am reading the news correctly, concerning Iraq's Constitution and Government, George W. Bush seems to have done the unthinkable in this war against islamic extremists. He has committed the lives of One Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty Eight U.S. Soldiers, Marines, Navy and Air Force Personnel, as well as men and women from each state's National Guard and Reserves in the successful instillation of an Islamic State.
Let's be quite clear about what has happened. George W. Bush, by force of arms, has taken a secular state and turned it into a fundamentalist Islamic state and in so doing sacrificed the lives of almost two thousand US soldiers and the bodies of countless thousands more.
It is the Crusades in reverse.

The situations aren't exactly parallel, but the futility of it all is.

What kind of government Iraq wound up with was of no real concern to the Bushies.
