More common sense about Iraq from Pat Buchanan

[quaoar]

Just in case you were not convinced that Bush is going to get all of us killed one day.

Question: If we attack Iran, whose side will the Iraqi government take?

Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi arrived in Baghdad. Unlike Condi Rice, Kharrazi had no need for a flak jacket or helmet and was received in Najaf by Ayatollah Sistani, who has yet to meet an American representative.

< snip >

But, in 2002, there was no Baghdad-Tehran axis, only mutual hatred between them from an 8-year war in which a million may have died on each side. But, today, a Baghdad-Tehran axis is emerging. On Kharrazi's visit, Iraq admitted to having started the 1980s war, laying full blame on Saddam. Both nations condemned terror. Both recognized their mutual sovereignty and created a joint committee to thicken economic, political and security ties.

Among issues raised was surely how Iraq will react if the United States attacks Iran when its negotiations with the European Union over its nuclear program collapse, as appears imminent.

Query: How much blood and treasure should Uncle Sam invest in a war to bring about free elections, if the result is to replace autocrats with Islamists who favor looser ties to America and closer ties to fellow Islamists? Have we spent the lives of 1,600 American soldiers and $200 billion to create a Shia axis that will dominate the Persian Gulf when we depart, as we one day must?

3. Buchanan annoys me as much as Nader does

You can't piss and moan about Iraq, then vote for Bush, then piss and moan about Iraq some more. At that point, you became part of the problem.

He's wanted conservative judges. The war is the price he's paying for wanting conservative judges. Suck it up Patrick.
