An indictment
Sobering reading for those among us who believe that it's okay to break a few civilian eggs to make a freedom omelette.
Is liberty worth more than life? Well, someone else's maybe. But, although things might improve in time to come, at the moment the Iraqis have traded relative stability with some political murders but no real effect on many for chaos and a hundred thousand deaths.
And we're still killing. We're not fixing the place. We're not even aiding the process. While the US focuses on storming Fallujah (why? it is not a "hotbed" of turrism, merely a focus of anti-American resentment) and killing everyone in it, man, woman or child, the insurgents readily and easily stymie most efforts at reconstruction.
The solution is obvious. It was suggested to us before the war even began. Let the UN pick up the pieces. Yankee, go home and let the rest of us sort out your mess.
