Is there anything we can do to restore our image in the ME at this point?

[Craig3410]

Thanks to good old *, every single person in Iraq really, really hates our country (and for a very good reason). I don't see the US being able to do anything to keep them from hating us, anymore.

1. Stuffing the bu$h cabal into orange jump suites and

marching them out the from door of our White House, down (or up) the street to the nearest lock up. Notifying the press first of course.
No sense wasting precious oil transporting them in vehicles.

2. By marching the bush* cartel off to the ICC would be a good start

3. Restore it?

Thanks to Bush, everyone in Iraq really, really hates America? It's all Bush's fault? Well, doesn't that just fit nicely. It makes us all feel better, because it's all Bush's fault.

We didn't support economic sanctions during the 90's that helped murder hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians(including mostly children).

We didn't support both Iraq and Iran during their war in the 80's which murdered a million people.

We haven't supported every damn corrupt regime in the history of Iraq, after the British carved up that mass of land with borders that have never made sense, outside of economic ones for the Western powers.

It's all good old *'s fault. I love the *. It makes it feel like Bush is someone we can all blame everything on. Nothing bad happened before *, and nothing bad will happen after *, after the American people finally wake up and send * and his # to the ^ on impeachment charges, along with @, and %, and we can't forget $. They'll all pay for their crimes, and then we can finally return America to it's glory. We will have taken our country back! Sure, it's never been ours to begin with, on a number of levels, but we can blame everything on *, because it just makes us all feel better. It's not like Clinton ever invaded Iraq. We can finally return to the wonderous 1990's, when not a single American soldier was killed in our quest for world domination.

4. Stop it.

Just stop it. You are wrecking everyone's fantasy here that this all started January 2001. Stop.

7. I have come to some sense of peace with * in that HE was the one to wake

me up from my apathetic nap. I was unaware of all that went on before. I had a taste from some of the stories shared to me by some in a Dutch class who had left Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran for better lives in Holland but I was painfully unaware of PNAC and all that has been going on for the past 30 some years (of course, I am only 30 so I have to forgive myself a bit, but damn that liberal media!). * is the best GOTV coordinator this country has ever seen. I registered to vote for the first time in my life at age 28 to vote HIM OUT (and I believe we did, had it not been for the evoting eating our votes along with the other tactics used to supress the vote and a complicit media).

More coffee.

edited - I really need more coffee. Left out a word.

5. End: (1) Occupation of Iraq and (2) Over Dependence on Foreign Oil

And they are interconnected - and they are why we go off on military misadventures in the ME.

Hint - don't "read about" PNAC on blogs. Actually read the darn thing - it is all about "projecting military superiority" for the purpose of "asserting hegemony over vital natural resources."

6. Admit our crime, prosecute the criminals and pay reparations
