I will be the first to say that i agreed with the war in Iraq at its inception. At that time i was still a brainwashed Republican. I took our current administration at face value, like all good republicans are supposed to. I agreed with the government intellegence on the Iraqi government (i learned later that this is quite the oxymoron). But i finally woke up from the brainwashed haze that i was in, and i realized that the intellegence that got us into this mess was no more than a smoke screen to peddle our influence on others in the world because the government felt it was needed. It is time to get out of this mess that has been going on.
However it now looks like it will never end, especially if the current administration gets its way. Now i am sure some of you believe the rhetoric from Obama about ending the war. But you will find him to be as futile in office as McCain. The reason i say it will never end is because of a report that just came out from The Independent. It seems they have uncovered a secret plot to control the land of the Iraqi's.
The current government minstration is trying to push a new agreement with the Iraqi government that will enable the US military to establish and maintain our military at 50 military bases in the country, allow all Iraqi airspace under 29,000 ft to be US controlled, enact immunity for all US military servicemen and its contractors, allow military to arrest Iraqi's as they see fit, and conduct military raids without the Iraqi government's approval.
This is just wrong on so many fronts, that it is too numerous to count. First who will pay for this, we will with our taxes and our servicemen's lives. Second, why is there a need for 50 military bases, do we have that many in our country? Thirdly, why are we creating a US dictatorship in Iraq?, isn't it time for the Iraqi's to lead themselves.
The whole policy of keeping our military stationed on bases through out the world is futile. Why are we there? I know you will say that it is because it will help maintain the security of our interests in those countries. Shouldn't that be that countries job to secure our interest on their soil? Since when do we allow Germany to setup a military base on our soil to secure German companies interests here? We don't because it is our job to provide security to their interests here on our soil. It should be that way everywhere. Each country should provide the security needed for another country's interest on their own soil. This helps more than one way. If we have interests in Gemany and Germany is responsible for the security, it puts more ownership on Germany to protect it because that business helps their economy. If Germany doesn't help secure our interest on their soil, we will close it up and move it back home or elsewhere, therefore hurting the Germans more than us. This policy needs to end immediately. It is time for each country to take care of itself and we need to worry about ourselves, to each his own. This was the standard government policy of ours up to the Socialistic Golden Age of the early 1900's, now all we know how to is meddle in everyone else's business.
It is time for us as citizens to put our foot down on these things. It is time to let the Bush minstration know that we will not stand for this new secret agreement that they are pushing. It is policies that have given the Middle East its anger against us, we have caused it for the most part. We need to butt out of their affairs. We need to get back to more of an isolationist viewpoint like we used to have. Let other countrys handle their own problems and not get involved unless we are attacked on our own soil (which is the opposite of what has happened in Iraq).
Stand Up People! Stand Up for our rights, and stand up for the Iraqi's rights. Rights that will be squashed by our own government and open the door for more Anti American Hatred and Retribution.
Viva Liberty!
