It's a trillion dollar prize for Iraq, says the Washington Post. President Bush is making it difficult to be an American living anywhere outside of the US. My Korean friends ask me, "doesn't American see that war with Iraq is wrong?" Jin-soon cried like a baby when she found out that the US had begun a war with Iraq. I'm convinced that it's not about schooling a bully, Saddam Hussein. I don't think that anyone would put Saddam Hussein on their "nice guys of the world" list, but he's not Hitler. I think telling the world that Saddam Hussein is torturing his own women and children is as much propaganda as Saddam Hussein trying to convince the world he's a valliant world leader. Besides, if it were America's job to cleanse the world of bad guys, then we'd never stop fighting wars. No, we picked this fight. And the belt that we'll win after a couple rounds is black, goopy, and fuels America's addiction to living rich. Sure, he might be making weapons of mass destruction, but the fact is, we're not sure. And President Bush is ignoring the safeguard that the world (especially the US) has developed to police weapons of mass destruction. And hey, how come nobody comes after America, telling us to get rid of our weapons of mass destruction? I read the other day about America testing the biggest non-nuclear bomb ever created. When asked about it by the press, Donald Rumsfeld gave a short, snappy, answer: "It's a big bomb" as if he were a cocky, high-ranking official in a glossy action movie. This isn't Die Hard, Don! President Bush is ignoring the opinions of many, many people all over the world, including his own country, who oppose this war. I'm on this list. President Bush is also ignoring the advice and council of myriad world leaders, many whose countries have seen the ravages of war and have hopefully learned the value of peace. Instead, he slaps the world in the face with the irony stick as he answers reporter's questions about his lunacy with a broken record of trite freedom rhetoric in his simple cowboy drawl. Real cowboys are supposed to know what's right from wrong. But this Texan, true to form, is sitting on top of the biggest oil geyser in the world and he is calling it Operation Iraqi Freedom.
