Re: We have been here before...sadly
I in no way support the premise that Iraq was some sort of middle-eastern utopia. As I have already said, Saddam was a despot. However, the situation in Iraq was a creation of Iraqi's and having made their bed they should have been left to lie in it. Which they would have been, had it not been for the fact that western oil multinationals coveted control of Iraq's oil reserves.
It is an inescapable fact that a great many people, both military and civilian, have died because of the invasion, occupation and insurgency, people who would, in the normal course of events, probably still be alive and kicking.
The main point of my argument is that this unecessary war has been fought at enormous cost to many for the sole benefit of a few greedy and shortsighted men.
