I operate many blogs, some of a social nature and a few are just blogs for anyone to show up. My pet blog is SlantRight.com. My son has purchased the rights to the name and operates it on his servers for me for free. It is the Dad discount.
I rarely spread comments from one blog to the others; however I received a comment from “More Democrat ‘aid and comfort’ to the enemy” on my Mindsay blog which is more of a social blog. The comment was made by a person that goes by the moniker of Moralnihilist. Moralnihilist said little but it irked me a lot. So I am sharing my distinct charm around in my reply.
Moralnihilist said:
The purpose of the Iraq war was to line the pockets of George W Bush's oil buddies, nothing more. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Iraq was no threat. ...
We've already spent 10 times what we spent in Vietnam, and the cost in lives has been tragic.
I guess Ann Coulter is correct: Liberals Lie!
The Dems and Bush reacted to the same Intelligence of the time. Even President Clinton understood that Saddam Hussein was dangerous but did not have the cajones to do what GW did. Clinton's awareness of Iraq and transnational terrorists may never be completely known because the treasonous Dem used his security clearance to destroy classified material related to Clinton.
Whether or not the validity of WMD in Iraq is actual or mystified is irrelevant. The fact remains Hussein has shown in the past no hesitation to attack his neighbors for hegemonic gain and profit (with Iran the US aided him and with Kuwait we were against him). This is not to mention the brutality that Hussein and his psycho-sons inflicted on Iraqi citizens. Even now in 2008 mass graves of slaughtered men, women and children are haphazardly stumbled upon.
The only reason the U.S. does not send a military force to remove the butchering Arab Muslims from Sudan is the Islamic world would wrongly perceive it as an attack on Islam. Western nations even with the potential of their combined power to remove the current Sudanese government fear the Islamic reaction (The West is dominated by Left Wing cowering dhimmis). The genocide against Black Muslims in Darfur and Black Christians in Southern Sudan is enough reason to take out the regime. It is a demonstration of dhimmification of the U.N. and the protection of Communist Chinese that such action is not even close to being a consideration.
As far as oil goes: duh!! Are you an American or a dimwitted American? Islamists (though a growing minority in the Middle East) run the perceptions of America. If Islamists control oil in Iraq as well as oil in Iran and the Saudi Monarchy is a sneeze away from joining the Shah of Iran's fate. How do you think the National Interests of America would be affected if Islamists controlled the life blood of the World's economy? Can you say convert or no oil? That would mess up the Dems utopian delusional vision on how we should respect what happens in another nation's internal affairs.
As for the Iraq and Vietnam comparisons, the only thing valid that you have asserted is the unpopularity (forged into the minds by a Leftist MSM ignoring other facts and the Dems exploiting the non-reported facts) of the Iraq War in America.
So in essence Moralnilhilist, you are full of manure. I leave it to you decide what kind.
The Arms deal concluded between the Bush Administration and the Saudi Monarchy is a disaster waiting to happen in the future. I lament that I have not followed the nuts and bolts of the issue and so I do not know if Congress has to okay the deal. If Congress has to okay the deal let us hope this Democratic controlled Congress has enough brains to indeed prevent the deal from following through.
Walid Phares has an idealistic alternative to the Saudi Arms deal. It is extremely idealistic because it boils to down to one essence: The Saudi Monarchy switching up on the Wahhabi teaching that disseminates from the area and setting new agendas to execute Middle Eastern stability by confronting the Shi’ite radicals of Iran with a new ideology that will hopefully destabilize the Mullah controlled government. The Phares idealism is directed to anti-Khomeini revolutionary Shi’ites, Kurds and Arabs living in Iran. Phares admits (at least to himself) that there is no real idea of whom or where to find this element in Iranian society.
Frankly Mohammedan hate is too entrenched for Phares’ vision to be realized at this moment in time. Something catastrophic would have to happen to the Saudi Monarchy to change its paradigm or face an alternative of the Monarchy imminent demise.
I suspect such a catastrophe would be too late to successfully implement the Phares idealism.
However I do think the Phares idealism can be applied to Mohammedans living in the West. It would take courage to evade the Politically Correct and ban Wahhabi and Khomeinist-Shi’ite literature as teaching tools in the West. I am not saying to have a good ol’ fashion Nazi-Communist-Big Brother book burning, rather if it is taught in schools as hate it is time to prohibit the teaching. I am uncertain of have how to prevent teaching hate in American madrassas and Mosques without infringing on Free Speech, but maybe the government bureaucracies can get some ideas from the ACLU who have effectively stopped the teaching of Christian perspectives in public schools.
