The bottom line is that you don't give a flying **** whether Iraq has a democracy or not, and you aren't willing to sacrifice a thing to even try.
The self serving and wholheartedly misguided nature of the "concern" makes the cause all the more illegitimate.
$5 billion per day (not to mention the human the human toll of the war) could have gone a long way to
1. Make American
truly safer with border security, port security, transit security, airport security, frontline training, building security, more reliable intelligence officers and technology, disanding of homegrown terrorist cells (from the KKK to "AQUSA").
2. Begin curing some the of the social and financial ills that plague America, and have for decades.
3. Explore alternate sources of energy.
The fact of the matter Brandon, and I hate pissing on yor little parade here, is that the Bush administration factored in the future financial benefits of this so-called regime change in the name of future oil security and revenue for America.
In short: the was would pay for itself....so long as you aren't concerned about the tens of thousands of dead people stinking up the joint.
