Did Everyone Forget
that millions of people were out in the streets of America and every other country protesting the war? Hundreds of thousands of Americans were marching all over the nation protesting the Iraq war.
Predictions were correctly made before the war that have and still are taking place from the humanitarian crisis to the very real possibility that the entire region would erupt into violence. Many used the metaphor "timberbox" to describe the region -- all that was needed is one spark and the whole region would ignite. Bush & Cheney provided a bonfire.
No one expected a new cold war though. That is one prediction that was not made.
Bush & Cheney have made a total mess out of US international and domestic policies.
Gary, your article is an important piece to the puzzle. It is one piece that is rarely alluded to muchless written in depth about. I do believe that Bush really thinks he is God's chosen "warrior." But that is fanatsy. We need grown-ups in the W.H. NOW before any more horrendeous decisions are put into action.
