Spooky

I read this headline today saying Bush says more sacrifice needed in war on terror. Normally I'd link to the article but you can find it anywhere. Besides it is the wording that is the spooky part. It sounds so sinister. When you hear shit like that, 'more sacrifice' and 'war on terror' it is spooky. It sounds like the begining of facisim. The arguement you hear now is that pulling out of Iraq would open the way for more terrorism as the current Iraq government couldn't handle themselves. Sounds a lot like what the USSR and US did to Afghanistan in the 70's and we see where that got us. So that arguement seems to have some merit. Something has to be said for self-determination though. It seems though in modern times this is more difficult than ever for countries. Seems that instead of forming cohesive nations things become even more fractured with various groups seeking to break away. I really don't understand national soverigntiy sometimes. There is something to be said about the laws of the US. They still are probably the freest in the world. There may be other properous contries but something always comes up where you hear about strange rules and regulations that hinder what we would consider to be our most basic rights. Sure we deal with the risks and consequences of our freedom, but it has only proven the U.S. stronger. Some think you can legislate human behavior and want all these weird rules and restrictions. But I'll be damned if those very same people didn't reap the benifits from the very kind of thinking they are against. It is pathetic.

Back to Iraq. The U.N. has proven to be such a weak little bitch time and time again. And the rest of the world still cowers under the power of the U.S. Now that is pathetic. Countries call out criticism of the U.S. easily but they can't even organize themselves enough to do anything about it. There is no way in hell the U.S. should have been able Iraq if the rest of the world's nation were as organized as they were vocal in criticism. The U.S. can't take on the world but the rest of the world keeps supplying the rhetoric that it can. As for pullout. I don't know why anyone keeps criticising the U.S. anymore when they just stand there and watch a country go to hell. I don't see any offers from the U.N. to take over the operation. Well I don't see in the news, but who knows what kind of trash goes on behind the scenes. If the rest of the world wanted the U.S. out of Iraq is should have happened already. Then again I forgot how inefficient governments are.
