Kerry seemed to change his opinion on a topic on a daily basis, depending on who he was talking to.

The Daily Show did a great segment where they'd show Kerry saying one thing, then follow it with a clip of him saying virtually the opposite thing a few days later.



tried to find the clip on you tube no luck

They are both like lemon car salesmen. I wouldn't buy a car from either of them.

It would be nice to see all soldiers pull out of Iraq, but that is not happening any time soon due to the place is still a mess and a lot work is yet to be done.

Do you think they could demonstrate in their streets if we didn't go there in the first place?


Possibly. Without the support given to Saddam over the years by the USA, there is no guarantee he would have been as brutal, or, effective in maintaining power. However, I don't think that is what you were really asking though... Could Iraqi people demonstrate under Saddam and live? Not really. Back in the days the USA supplied Saddam Hussein with all the chemical weapons he required, it was not safe for the Iraqi people to complain. Ask the Kurds, they got to see quite a lot of cannisters of lethal US made chemical weapons - Saddam made a habit of dropping each freshly delivered bunch on their heads, something the US government knew was happening. Robert Fisk was reporting this stuff at the time it was happening (See Clash of Civilisations...

When it comes to the Middle East, the USA is NOT a good guy. Read any book on the Middle East by Fisk, he is hardly a militant lefty, he is a foreign correspondent. He has just happened to see a lot of US intervention and puppet dictator inspired mass murder at close range.

Anyway, as to the OP, I think the USA should never have gone (and my spineless lacky government should not have blindly followed them) , but now they need to stay long enough to fix their mess, if they can.
