Please go further back than that or infinitely far into the future...

Is this some Domino trick universe question etc? LOL I was refering to when we (the coalition) was over there ousting him from Kuwait. I mean I understand all the rational why we disnt go...but it was pretty clear to me (and many) at the time - that allowing him to remain - was only going to become an issue for the future. Did we have to go in now - or was it right to - well I won't answer that - I think that there are all sorts of legitimate persectives - but fundementally I think we blew a good thing - we had Sadaam verymuch cowed - ineffective and where we wanted him...and now...well chaos basically...at least a much greater potential for it...and certainly more blood (and bad blood) to come.....

They don't understand nationalism, not viscerally anyway. They don't understand human beings' deep hatred of occupiers. How else to explain everything being attributed to individuals vs. organizations/groups of people with shared ideas?

I am sure they do understand it very well (maybe Bush is the only one who doesn't). They are just lying to everyone.
