DU still lives in a world of make believe.
The capture of Saddam Hussein
The dramatic news of Saddam Husseinâs capture provides a faint glimmer of hope that peace and security may someday be possible in a country that has seen little of either. After decades of oppression, war, and deprivation, the long-suffering people of Iraq will finally see their brutal dictator brought to justice. For their sake, and for the sake of American servicepeople in Iraq, we hope that Saddamâs capture will hasten the end of hostilities in that country. While the chance of a democratic government in Iraq still seems remote, perhaps this news will help make it possible.
We opposed the invasion of Iraq, which did nothing to improve the security of the American people, and caused incalculable damage to our reputation abroad. The capture of Saddam does not make an unwise war wise, it does not make an illegal war legal, and it does not make an utter failure of American foreign policy into a success. The current Administration has botched nearly everything itâs touched these last three years. Saddamâs capture provides them with a fresh opportunity to get our foreign policy back on track. Letâs hope they donât botch this too.
âThe Administrators of DU
If nothing else these people are consistent. They still opposed the Invasion of Iraq but hope that they will have Peace, security, and an end to suffering. Thatâs nice they âhopedâ that maybe Saddam would all of a sudden stop funding terrorism and maybe treat his people with dignity? Or maybe his sonâs would have brought about a just and free Iraq? Pure delusional thinking if they think that change will come about simply by âhopingâ for it to happen. I hope that I will win the lottery and not have to work (I am still working until that comes about). I like the last two nuggets that on the âfailedâ policy and âillegalâ war. If I were the RNC I would be plagiarizing the DU site for all my commercials this election season. My catch phrase at the end would go like this: âIraq and the world now HAVE hope do to the efforts of President Bush and his war on terror.â
