Even after all the scandal over Bush’s non existent WMD in Iraq, why should we believe him about the Mid East?
He obviously wanted war with Iraq before he had evidence to do so. Now he comes with barely vieled statements about desiring war with Iran and Syria. Time Magazine had a headline “…what we should do to Iran.” What should we do to this democratic nation that chose a leader that hates Western Imperialism? Do we have a right to? If the U.S. and/or Israel are perpetuating war crimes, how does the world prosecute it?
We should believe Bush and support a war with Iran or Syria only if we want to precipitate World War III, and the use of nuclear weapons. Remember that the war with Iraq was sold as a quick venture.The public had a reasonable belief that the war in Iraq would be over in a few weeks, or at best in a few months because we had had a series of limited war engagements since Vietnam and the Gulf War was wrapped up quickly. Now we know better, we know that this administration can drag us into very long conflicts. Rice has recently admitted that it’s going to take a very very long time to build a “new Middle East”, that we might not see any results for very long time.
