Whenever a person argues that we need to stay in Iraq the person usually harbors an underlying assumption, which is, our staying will make things better.
I see no evidence to back that claim, nor have I been able to extract any from people with this faith.
Where does it come from, this belief that our presence in Iraq is a good thing that is good for Iraq and good for America? How is it people believe that if we and Iraqis are patient enough through all the killing, and committed enough through all the chaos, that all will work out for the best in the end?
Why doesn't news, like this story coming out of Iraq, ever crack the battlements of this false assumption?
What does it take to expose these fantastic, fanatical, fatal illusions for what they are to them that cling to 'em?
It doesn't seem to be logic, for there was plenty of that pre-invasion which predicted the problems we face now.
It doesn't seem to be facts on the ground, those are dismissed as so many dead US soldiers.
Once you see that our occupation is the problem it is maddening to watch the US continue to pursue it.
Are people really unable to draw such an obvious conclusion from such a complete body of evidence, or are they lying?
How do people like Joe Lieberman muster the arrogance through it all?
Anger and fear seem to be what whip irrational behavior into a full gallop.
Where are the reins on these apocalyptic pachyderms?
