The GOOD NEWS from Iraq: warring factions concur on important points!

[Bruce S.]

This is progress. These points of agreement have been reached.

1. The whole situation is a consequence of Mr. Bush's unprovoked
attack and subsequent imperial occupation, and

2. They were better off under Saddam.

"the current strife in Iraq seems to have totally eclipsed any agonies
or grievances many Iraqis would have incurred from the past regime,
which lasted for nearly four decades -- as opposed to the current
conflict, which has lasted for five years."

No word on whether any drunk Blackwater death squads gunned down any
other civilians (or dogs) in celebration.

USA! USA!

Bruce, thanks for the interesting article. I can't help but wonder,
though, if you actually read it before posting your latest rabid anti-
Bush salvo. The points you idenify are in the article, to be sure,
along with other, much more optimistic information.

As for the "drunken Blackwater death squad".... Nothing in the news
out here on the other coast has stated that the persons involved were
intoxicated or given that as a reason for the actions that resulted in
Iraqi deaths. The "death squad" accusation also is not credible, as no
reasonable report has characterized the actions of those involved as
seeking out Iraqis for murder.

Keep the links coming, Bruce.... You might learn something if you
bothered to read 'em.
