Sunday, June 19, 2005 Waterbones... is also in a rather fine lather about napalm use in Iraq, which I didn't know about, either. The editrix there thinks Bush can be legally impeached, and so do I. In the end I think the Iraq invasion will be seen as a clever and forward-looking strategy to keep huge reserves of oil out of the hands of fundamentalist Muslims (while we go about destabilizing the rest of the Middle East). Will it be worth the blood and damage to America's name? Probably not, but more than anything I want to keep the lying, theatrical Bush style of going to war from becoming an American style: a precedent. But I'm probably a romantic fool. posted by Michael Scott Moore | 11:08 PM

My point exactly. I am not--gasp--completely opposed to war in all its forms. Paradoxically, there are times when military action is the only thing that will save more lives.

But we have lost all our credibility with this adventure. To say nothing of the lives--those of our soldiers, those of the Iraqis, those of all the children who have died between our incursions because we've knocked the hell out of the infrastructure and there hasn't been enough food, medicine, or clean water. For what? | |
