Reply #90: Implied or explicit, Kerry will continue the Iraq occupation

[IndianaGreen]

for Kerry, like those associates of his like Rand Beers and Joe Biden, wants to establish an American puppet regime in Baghdad. They all fear what they were warned about by opponents of this war: toppling Saddam would lead to an Islamic fundamentalist regime.

As I posted on January 9, 2003:

America is not embarking on a righteous crusade to liberate an oppressed people. Like the Christian Crusades in the Middle Ages, this is an invasion to conquer land, to loot and to pillage the riches of another nation. The Bush regime is not going to allow free and democratic elections in a post-Saddam Iraq, for to do so will give the majority Shiites power, and it would lead to an independent Kurdish state. The Bush regime is more interested in taking control over Iraq's oil reserves in order to use them as leverage against OPEC, and as the first step in controlling the entire Persian Gulf region. Another Saddam will replace Saddam Hussein, but one that will be backed by American military might and that will obey the wishes of his masters in Washington. The very troops that are going to Iraq under the pretext of liberation will be used to enforce the American Occupation of a post-Saddam Iraq. These troops will soon find themselves being used to murder the very people they were sent to liberate. Some of them will even become willing participants in atrocities and torture against people they view as brown-skinned Muslim infidels, while on Sunday they will joyfully sing "Onward, Christian Soldier" convinced that they are doing God's work on Earth.

The Imperial Japanese army marched into China in 1931. The Italian army marched into Ethiopia in 1935. The German army marched into Poland in 1939. The American army is about to march into Iraq in 2003. Bush is about to join Hirohito, Mussolini, and Hitler in the pantheon of men that brought nothing but calamity and destruction to an unsuspecting world. Bush will turn America into the first arch villain nation of the twenty-first century.
