Let us Rewind to Fast Forward: Wars, Facts, Half-Truths - Afghanistan to Iraq to...
The Iraqi Agora (Iraqi-American student)
...Killing won't create the proper example for democracy to flourish. But we are here now, so what will we do with this moment? Allow for the status quo of the last several years to continue? Or learn that hearts and minds are more important than money, prestige, power...and geostrategic control of resources and land-masses...
...They spell out some things that politicians and power-brokers don't want people to understand...
...Second, could we all agree on acheiving a better degree of transparency in matters of nation states and the workings of a few extremely powerful puppetmasters...What is all this, "We don't do body counts" talk? That is like saying "we don't be human"..."we don't care" "we don't have mothers" "we don't have loved ones" "we don't exist"...Is having prostitutes taunt Muslim men for information on an ISLAND in the Carribean the most bright thing at the moment...
...Will propping up puppets of Iraqi and Afghani blood be in the best interest of each of these supposedly soveriegn states? Of course, there are people with very harmful agendas out there. And perhaps the puppets are good...but if you get rid of ONE DICTATOR, shouldn't you GET RID OF THEM ALL?...Who are Americans to say that we are democratic?...Is this the Brave New World Huxley warned us of? Why do we invite it so willingly?...
...WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE? Read my lips...no new wars...
