This born-again war is not an American aggression The majority of people banned carpet bombing (especially Fallujah where war babies are still born with gross deformities from toxic weaponry) a nation attacked with nuclear missiles that never invaded the United States and wasn't about to.
Dear Ones,
Iraq is now not only unstable but its government dead with hundreds of thousands of suffering people with no will to fight for the same annihilation of humanity–now that the Bush mentality fired the entire well-trained officers and army of Iraq after it was invaded, attacked and occupied illegally.
When a reckless administration commits the most egregious mistake and not prosecuted for breaking International Law and Criminal Court, the president who inherits this Pandora's Box of combustion has an impossible job to eradicate, what is already ignited in a circle of three related faiths on fire.
This is not America's war. It needs to be dealt with by the Middle East with all its complex ingrained fighting among hateful clans and rival sectarian (religious) warriors. The best way for the U.S. to help stop the suffering of humanity is through creative, strategic non-military methods.
Aristotle (b. 384 B.C.E.), the Greek philosopher from Macedonia, was a pupil of Plato. Aristotle, tutor of Alexandria the Great, founded his own Lyceum school of logic and reasoning power. He taught that those who want to wage war must fight in the wars of their own commitment.
Translated into modern times, the war vultures who suggest sending 10,000 more ground troops into Iraq, in stage three of the Persian Gulf War, must themselves put boots on with the young soldiers sacrificed in another battlefield altar of burnt offerings.
All the massive weapons of massive devastation cannot solve an endless religious-based war that has been foaming in madness ever since the Inquisition and its torturous tribunal court of death.
What we need desperately are young dedicated historians in authoritarian positions in Washington to keep us up to date since America has a very short memory problem of world history.
