We invaded them!! No noble cause, no proof of a threat, nothing ...<BR/>we invaded them!!<BR/><BR/>gabrielle - how wonderful it would be for there to be a sea of shoes on the white house lawn!! <BR/>all of them with their dirty soles facing up - the ultimate sign of contempt<BR/>do you remember the show Murphy Brown? when she sent a truck load of potatoes to Dan Qualye's door!! <BR/><BR/>mark - I can see you feel strongly about this and I never question your research on things - you are always so thorough. I don't feel that shoe was thrown at me - I know it sounds naive but I think there is very little human difference between me and the average Iraqi citizen. <BR/>Was the journalist unprofessional? yes<BR/>Is Iraq a clusterfuck of incompetence and corruption? yes<BR/>Was it that way before we invaded? yes - and in some ways it was probably worse.<BR/>I imagine that, on the ground level, our soldiers want nothing more than to help and I believe most Iraqi citizens know that. <BR/>We are all victims of people on both sides who have no right to lead and those people all need more than shoes thrown at their heads.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797176281269170321.post-42251948974912606932008-12-17T04:55:00.000-05:002008-12-17T04:55:00.000-05:00I personally believe that full and unconditional w...I personally believe that full and unconditional withdrawal of all American assets from Iraq, including monetary, should immediately and swiftly commence.<BR/><BR/>bush, is the biggest horses ass since Hoover to hold the office but he was not there as bush but rather as President of the United States of America and as such that shoe was thrown at you and me.<BR/><BR/>We have mortgaged beyond measure another generation of American children for the Iraqi peoples. Do they see that? Fuck no. Are their lives worth more than the lives of America's children? Can you imagine the outcry if the roles in this were reversed?<BR/><BR/>And the acclaim this unprofessional rogue reporter who inserted himself into the news is the thanks given to them who in fact freed them to continue on in their own ill advised way on my tax dollar. <BR/><BR/>Has their life been disrupted beyond any measure they were prepared for...yes absolutely but it was they that rioted and looted all of their government offices and palaces, which threw their society into the greater disorder then any American war planner could have foreseen.<BR/><BR/>When they had the opportunity to lay down arms, they did not, thereby escalating an already deplorable situation and costing an additional 4500 children of America their lives and God alone knows how many of their own citizenry and other children of other nations as well.<BR/><BR/>The insult of the shoe is culturally more significant than a middle finger thrown up for the sake of defiance towards a despicable man, it is a physical act, like pissing on someone is a physical act. I for one do not like to be pissed on. And as them who march in favor of the dog who threw the shoe; as a society they are saying they no longer want nor deserve my tax dollars to support their callous disregard of what has been delivered them; freedom to throw shoes, to piss on America.<BR/><BR/>Are things worse in Iraq now than before bush and cheney sent troops in? Yes they are but, statistically it is about 20% worse. They had trouble keeping themselves alive in the face of a repressive government. They had trouble delivering medicine, electricity, food and water before the wrongful invasion, yet we are the ones who are now blamed for all that they themselves didn't accomplish prior to 2003. They are their own impediment to a resolution of their own infrastructure deficiencies.<BR/><BR/>As you say Dianne, Hussein was one among many terrible dictators in the world and from the start I have never thought that this invasion was anything but the actions of fools. But for this insult and all of the rest of them they have delivered over the course of the last five years, I say that Iraq can go straight to whatever hell they want, just not on the lives of our citizens or money anymore.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797176281269170321.post-65500298628102497112008-12-17T01:05:00.000-05:002008-12-17T01:05:00.000-05:00Retired high heels.
