Shortly before my visit to Iraq, I met up with Iraqi Shia and Sunni guerillas in Lebanon, who were members of fighting squads and members of the Ba’ath Party (the ruling Arab Socialist party under Saddam).
Quite right the contents of this piece. In the West many of us think the same.Afterall why didn't the americans kill Osama bin Laden when the opportunity was within "meters" at the biginning of the Afganistan invasion? Moreover he needed a kidney machine to survive which is not a thing to carry about easily. Osama bin Laden and his organisation had to live on in order to justify the war(s). Same goes about the presumed "shoe bomber" (on a plane from UK to US), the Time Square bomber and perhaps others.In a way it is probably better so: the US will continue to conduct war all over the world and gradually ruin themselves and their allies. The result will be the same as in the case of the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact countries. For a happy ending I would advise all people with money and good face to please do not buy US Treasury bonds anymore: it is this money that keeps the US going, their own economy is no longer able to support itself. Moreover these lenders will sooner or later face the risk of default, just like the Soviet Union and the tzar-time russian bonds.
Nadya, your journalism is AMAZING! Thank you for getting down to the real facts instead of America's propagandistic face of the war. The previous articles I enjoyed just as much. I hope these regions will be able to live in peace soon, but that will have to wait until the American people protest enough to get their sons home from the pointless wars.
