I.R.A.Q

Inevitable
Replay of
Asian
Quagmire

Viet Nam II. :-(


This is dramatic and groundless. Every time an American soldier dies
abroad
someone chimes in calling it a quagmire. Wait and see what happens. No
one
knows how it will turn out, and that includes you.

While that may have been dramatic, at least South Vietnam had some
underpinnings of and a modest desire for democracy. Iraq is a land of
feudal warlords and fundamentalists who will rip and rend the country into
territories and factions once they've been given their "freedom."

This is like bailing against a tide, it's futile and a waste of precious
resources -- resources America is very thin on these days. England
attempted this little Iraq escapade in the early part of the 20th century
with predictable results. History, in this case, is bound to repeat itself.

You may want to wait for the outcome and we'll all have to, for many of us
the writing is already on the wall.
