Don't believe your own propaganda.

Bowser — 4/15/2004 12:06:23 AM (archived)

Right now the US military is occupying Saddam's palaces, and is involved in killing, wounding and humiliating Iraqis.

And to talk about all the good is silly.

They want us gone, and if we had had any interest in the Iraqis, we'd have left or found anothe way to eliminate Saddam.

Get serious. This isn't about a "free" Iraq. We wouldn't have been treating the Iraqis the way we have if we were interested in their freedom or welfare.

What does make sense of the way the US has acted is that it's about a puppet state, a US colony, and looting their natural resources.
