Maybe we're paying old debts.


It occurs to me that, if we really are "freeing the Iraqi people" that is a point long overdue. It would be something we actually owe a certain part of the population there since the first gulf war when George Bush Sr. simultaneously encouraged the people to rebel and overthrow Saddam Hussien while giving his back certain weapons and the right to use them locally. That was a terrible abandonment by the U.S.


Then, of course, we didn't do a thing to make that right for years. Not until it was somehow in an economic interest perhaps.
