Thank George W. Bush and his cabal of Evil Republicans for this and a million other disasters born of his war criminal invasion of Iraq.
And world IS NOT a better place without Saddam Hussein in power in Iraq!
But the world would have been a far better place without GWB.
“We had to destroy the city in order to save it…”
GWB is historically unpopular among former Presidents. Really stunning.
Ain’t war grand. You get a win and all that beautiful destruction to go with.
From the people’s POV, its the governments fault and they need to pay to rebuild and repair.
The cops say the people deserved it for daring to go against the grain and that this little episode should teach them.
The military says, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet basically so, no big deal if a few (thousand) die horrible deaths and an entire city is destroyed.
If those underlying sentiments aren’t addressed and some reconciliation achieved, any rebuilding will only be creating a new resistance with new hiding places to refight the same old war.
And of course, the tyrant Assad’s got to go, which means Poot-en needs to be dealt with as well.
I don’t know how GW can live with himself.
Cheney, on the other hand, is a sociopath…
