Reply #12: That pretty much sums it up

[Time for change]

Indeed, what on earth is there to brag about? How many hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civillians we've killed? How many millions we've made made homeless? How many billions of dollars Halliburton and other Bush cronies have benefited from the war?

Bush and Cheney don't have any intention of trying to end the war. Their goal is a permanent American occupation, so that their corporate supporters have easy access to Iraq's resources, especially the oil. So there is no "difficulty" in ending the war, it's simply not of interest to them.

But the PR is that we have to "end the violence there" -- IN THE COUNTRY THAT WE INVADED AND ARE OCCUPYING, WHICH IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF THE VIOLENCE. :banghead:
