None of us has the whole truth in our hands, we can all only see a fragment of it (if it exists at all) - as long as we communciate we try to find a way to one another, correct?
You are right of course. The only problem is that most people who support(ed) the war in Iraq and the Bush administration mostly ignore almost all arguments. They just stick to the opinion that Saddam Hussein was such a bad man and that he had to be removed. And some of them even still think that there had to be a war because Iraq was linked to the 9/11 attacks. And that is very frustrating actually... you try to bring up various arguments why the Bush administration was wrong and why the situation now is not much better, but what happens? They accuse you of hating all US Americans. That is actually quite a ridiculous way of repeating and repeating everything again and again.
Just one comparison: In the 9/11 attacks, some 4000 or so people died. The war in Iraq killed more than 6000 civilians. What is better? Of course, the war in Iraq was for a good purpose, but there is a saying which goes like "The way to hell is paved with good intentions". And it is true.
Especially if you think of the fact that there were people - and not only idealistic dreamers like we are - who were convinced that the situation in Iraq could have been distressed without war within 6 months, including destroying most of Iraq's weapons and even preparing kind of elections there. Saddam even wanted to go to Exile and then he wouldn't have been in charge in Iraq either - without war. But diplomacy was sacrificed for the Bush administrations American global power strategies' sake. And that is what I blame Bush and his supporters for.
