A Libertarian Point-of-View on US/Neocon Mid-East Policy:
The Neocons' Childish Theory by Charley Reese
As of this writing, more than 1,800 young Americans have died in Iraq. The combined cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is $340 billion. This is what happens when we elect people who refuse to accept the limits set by the United States Constitution.
The Constitution gave us a government to govern America, not the world. It is none of our business what forms of government other countries have, just as it is none of our business whether the women in a foreign country wear burkhas or bikinis...
... In the Iraq War we were everybody's sucker. That crook Ahmad Chalabi played us for a sucker, and the Israelis played us for a sucker. They both got what they wanted – the destruction of Saddam Hussein's government without spending a dollar of their money or a drop of their blood. Instead of Iraqi oil paying for the war, as the neocons had promised, we are paying $61 a barrel for oil. After two years of American occupation, the Iraqi people still don't have (1) security, (2) dependable power, (3) cheap and plentiful gasoline, (4) clean water, (5) a decent sewer system or (6) a viable economy... http://tinyurl.com/a7k67
I've cited quite a few articles from antiwar.com like the above. They're a project of the Randolph Bourne Institute and just for shits and grins here's a link to the Wikipedia article on Randolph Silliman Bourne. (Silliman, huh?)... http://tinyurl.com/dtk5f
