atleast she knows the true price of freedom:

"Of a war that has cost more than 4,100 American lives, left an additional 30,000 seriously wounded and killed tens of thousands of Iraqis, Ms. Rice says: “There are a lot of things if I could go back and do them differently, I would. But the one I would not do differently is, we should have liberated Iraq. I’d do it a thousand times again. I’d do it a thousand times again.”"

    She must feel the same way about the many dictators around the peoplewho treat their own people as terribly and sadistically as Saddam Hussein did. And therefore we must liberate every country under the grips of a dictator.

    I have no love for Hussein; I'm happy he's dead. And I'm for armed intervention to stop genocide, but it's simply not realistic to invade every country under the grips of a dictator and topple them. We're engaged in two wars right now, and we are stretched absolutely thin. How would that army withstand more invasions, more occupations? And if the aim was truly to 'liberate' Iraq, as she says, then why Iraq? Why not the Congo? Why not the Sudan, or Zimbabwe? Why not Somalia?

    The obvious answer is that she's full of it; Iraq was never about liberating the people there.

    So all should be forgiven, well to hell with her and her lies that allows her to sleep at night. Tell me what does it do for the dead and wounded and the people who can't sleep at night because of the trauma they and their families have lived through? I hear Christian Louboutin is having a sale that should also help clear her conscious.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    what the hell are you talking about?

    the second priority, right after getting falsified WMDs, was to liberate the people of Iraq with a puppet--I mean, legitimate--government.

    You're right...the liberation of Iraq came after the search for the WMDs. Just because they mention as an aside that we will be greeted as liberators while making their case in regards to WMDs doesn't mean that that was the reason we went to war. The liberation of Iraq has become the primary reasoning by the administration for why we went to war because their real reason was entirely wrong. As I said, if the Bush administration really went to Iraq primarily to liberate its' people, then there's an awful lot more countries we need to get around to liberating through military force.
