David Thomson:

I have long contended that the American people will eventually be proud that our troops liberated the Iraqi people. As matter of fact, I boldly predict that this will take place no later than June of this year.
The MSM is decreasingly finding it difficult to hide the good news.

We had to impose a new order in Iraq—for their sakes and our’s. It would be foolish to allow those people to continue living in the 8th Century.

Typical american ignorance. That is why you respect.

Number one) america or its politicians had no mandate for that. The mandate was “weapons of mass destruction” and reported, counter intuitive (ultimately false), ties to al quai ida.

Number two) Iraq (that’s ‘ee-rock’ kids)–a sunni bathist country– was not in the “8th century” at all.

Number three) there is no divine automatic reason to ‘lead mankind out of’ the “8th century”. Western “growth” (to ever new centuries”) –which is, btw, feminist liberal, with all its pathology, unique to western culture– is not simply a destined thing that man must follow.
