In all seriousness, what are we fighting for at this point?
We're fighting to establish a longterm US presence in that part of the world. WMD, sadaam, and democracy have all been ahieved. one isn't there, one will hang in a month, and elections are done and they picked their guy.
We are essentially referreeing a civil war at this point. We're doing it because the presence of US troops in a region means that no nations will be able to enjoy that power vacuum and move in and get comfy there and grow into a second superpower. It's like when you play monopoly, and you buy ONE house of every color, so no one else can get any monopolies. Sure, it might be good for the country in the 100-year sense. Or, it might be bad. Will the benefits provided by the presence there outweigh the loss of lives , the two trillion longterm dollar spent there, or the increased resentment of America worldwide? We will see.
Cynthia McKinney started impeachment papers yesterday. While they will probably be rejected, it'll be interesting what charged are filed. one GOP senator called bush a war criminal yesterday - shocking from a republican! While you can argue all day whether or not Bush was justified in what he did, many legal scholars say what he did is technically illegal.
