We in the other parts of the world have all along known what the problem with the American involvement in Iraqi affairs was about. Cheap oil and money. The democrats in the US Senate may have known it all along too because I believe some of the Senators have what it takes in them but may be never had the numbers necessary to overturn those steps taken that have made the average American appear like a war monger. When the American people finally spoke through their votes the senators certainly got the message.
Fine and good the bill was blocked but the mere fact that the effort was mad is commendable . And I am certain a little adjustment to the bill will see it sailing through at the next attempt. The basic fact is that most republicans have made serious money from the war. They are easily the biggest manufacturers of armaments. They are also in controll of the oil industry. So put these together and you will have a clearer picture of what I am saying. The down side of it is that innocent people on both sides had to lose their lives before the situation becomes clear to everyone except George Bush and his friends.
I have to look only through the window in my house to see what is being done wrong in far flung places like Iraq. Kids run around kicking a dusty football and teenagers acting funny in the nooks, ordinary things Iraqis don't dare. They are humans like you and I.
The real enemy is, if may say so, Al qaeda, and basically they do not have their base anywhere in Iraq. it is well known that they are in bed with good friends of America, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Pakistan is even better off in the scheme of things. She is making an effort to rid herself of them but the Saudis? Cosy as ever.
Bush, face your enemies and let innocent people get about their lives.
'am just going to see if my kids are okay. I would want them to live in a better world.
Have a nice weekend.
