Camel Club

[tulsakatz]

I'm reading a good book called The Camel Club by Richard Baldacci.
It's a fiction book but it's set in the current political climate......there are references to 9/11, terrorism, etc

Anyway, in this one part it poses an interesting question. One of the President's advisors is briefing him on current conditions in the Middle East and he tells him that a (now Democratic) Iraq is taking steps to create the extermination of Israel. And since the US was largely responsible for the democracy in Iraq,it puts us in a difficult position. I mean, do we support a democracy in Iraq so long as we agree with what they are doing? And what happens when they do something we don't agree with?

I think it's very likely that something like this could happen. I don't know if they would try to eliminate Israel but somewhere down the road, they're (Iraq) going to do something that we don't agree with and what happens then?

After all, several of the people in the current administration supported Saddam at one time! And we've all seen how they made him into public enemy #1!

Anyway, I've read about a third of the book. It's a good story! I would certainly recommend it if you're looking for a good book.
