Reply to Fareed Zakaria (Wash.Post/Newsweek) who urges "success" in Iraq
Dear Mr. Zakaria,
You and Thomas Friedman are just soooo positive and optimistic about our little war (Friedman particularly so). If only this or that or this or that happens, SOMETHING good (you called it “success”) will come of it, yes sir!!!
Well, whatever that “success” turns out to be (if indeed it ever turns out at all) you propose that it “will allow U.S. troops to return home having achieved something [you don’t say exactly what that something might be – sorry to be repetitive].”
As it stands now, over 2,000 U.S. soldiers won’t be able to “come home” under any circumstances, and your optimism will help enlarge that number as well as that of the (is it) 17,000 American troops who have been maimed, brained, ruined, hobbled, or otherwise wounded thus far.
It must be easier for you than for me to imagine a form of “success” that would compensate for what’s already happened, not to mention the continuing carnage that you describe as “improved.”
But then, if you ACTUALLY believe, that freedom, democracy, and the future of Iraqis are of the SLIGHTEST concern to Bush & Co., I guess you can believe anything.
