Iraqi Civilian Deaths ... caused by Bush's unprovoked war

 

Costs of war already coming in
WorldNetDaily by Pat Buchanan
"Without war, Saddam could be back in his box. But Bush set the bar for himself too high. Now, though war is not necessary to contain Iraq, Bush cannot pull back from it. ... One wonders if the president ever asks himself: Who got me into this? Who persuaded me to surrender my freedom of action? While the war has not yet begun, the costs are already coming in." How can a new world order rooted in American values be erected now, with George W. Bush as architect? Not in recent memory has an American president been so reviled abroad. Yet, there is a sense here that this invasion of a country that never sought war with us will bring an end to the post-Cold world we knew and vault us into a new era, the outlines of which we cannot see.

***Regardless of who wrote this (he is not on my normal read list...), this pretty much delineates part of the problem facing both The Shrub and the society of America. The old "duck and cover" routine (which the government seems to be trying to revive, badly) just isn't going to cut it this time. You can crawl under your desk or bend over and grab your ankles - the result will be the same. We can only hope and pray that the majority do NOT panic when it hits the fan. ****
