the extermination of a dictator , liberalisation leads to civil war

finally, bush got what he wanted.

all along, it was about getting rid of saddam. it isn't about finding WMD, it isn't about liberating the people of Iraq, and it definitely isn't about protecting the freedom and security of americans. The irony is that more and more american soldiers are dying from their stay in iraq than those who died during 9/11.

so who benefits from all these? the iraqis? the americans? people of the free world? or the concept of democracy itself?

is this what the iraqis wanted? we know very well most shi'ites oppose saddam. the minority sunnis supported him.

is this what the americans wanted? do the mass majority of americans know what their leader is getting them into when the US declared war on Iraq? do they foresee that this is going to be a mess which will cost billions of dollars and many lives? don't they ever learn from history? Vietnam?

and what is democracy? suddenly it feels like democracy is simply a party of countries who have the same thinking of protecting their own rights and assets, of their ideas, of their way of doing things. AND the other parties are always the bad guys. to put it simply, if you aren't by our side, you very well be covering your own arses before we come and get you. suddenly, the concept of the free world means the free American world.

hell, i'm 100% not anti-American. i believe it's a beautiful country with many great people. but why can't a country as 'great' as america produce more intelligent and wise leader? i believe there are many wise leaders in America. maybe this just has to be. In order to be happy, you need to know what is sad. In order to know a good leader, you need bad leaders. to label him bad is being respectful.

I am not pro- saddam. but i do admire one thing about him, his courage and dignity. he did not want to be covered on his head when he is about to be hanged. he is calm and composed.

i bet the other guy would pee in his pants.

so what's happening to the world? or has the world not changed since B.C.? it seems like many would think that saddam is getting what he deserved. but think about it, his 'moral' highness, the american commander in chief should have taken steps to make sure that saddam deserves at least to die in peace, and not be 'videod' and youtubed later on. talk about the invasion and pervasiveness of information communication technology.

or maybe he wanted this to turn out this way. an eye for an eye...
