1. It is on!

Now go toss some moose droppings, or something.

[LisaLynne]

2. Yeah, democracy is MESSY!

Don't you pay attention to Rummy? He explained all that when this whole Iraq War thing first started!

3. Hey I'm a Lefty who thinks it's a right.

Or at least a freedom that any disfunctional system should have.

4. If I remember correctly.....

we had our own little civil war, oohhhhh about 140 years back or so and nobody butted into our business.

[JanMichael]

5. Oh I should add that the US intervened in the Russian Revolution/CW.

Along with several other Western "powers".

6. Here is Rummy's quote - applies now too, huh.

"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things," Rumsfeld said. "They're also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that's what's going to happen here."

8. In your best rummy impression

9. If Iraq does blossom into a full civil war...

...I expect to see the talking heads on Fox News quoting the Declaration of Independence to explain it. "Well," the blowdried Goebells wannabes will say, "We had to have a big war to get our country started. It's only natural that our Iraqi friends should have to do the same!"
