You'll Have Democracy Whether You Vote For It Or Not
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Sectarian violence killed more than 130 people across Iraq and left dozens of mosques damaged or in ruins as the United States appealed on Thursday to Sunnis and Shi'ites to step back from the brink of civil war. Dozens of bloody revenge attacks caused the death toll after Wednesday's suspected al Qaeda bombing of one of the holiest shrines in Shi'ite Islam. When is this mockery of a sham of a travesty of a lie of an abomination going to stop? Few things are as scary as unbridled hubris in intensely stupid Texas Christians in places of power. After the psychopathic murdering Tito was gone Croats, Serbs, and Bosnians went their separate ways, and now that the bloodthirsty maniac Hussein has been dethroned the Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis are going to form their own states: Shiites in the south, Sunnis in the middle, and Kurds in the north. How did iron-fisted dictators get such a bad name? They're great at keeping order. And weren't we friendly with ALL of them when we all shared the USSR as a common enemy? Ahhh... I miss the good ol days when wars were colder and managed by men with triple-digit IQs.

I think it's some of the best news I've heard in recent times... Muslims fighting and killing each other. The less of those kinds there are, the better for all of us.
Spencer...yes those days were better...
I never supported the invasion, but once we were there I insisted we make the best of it. Now...fuck it. I'm no fan of George Bush, but you know, we TRIED. We sent people over there who DIED for this, who gave their blood and their limbs and left their families behind so that we could get that country a functioning government, and all they want to do is run around and play tit for tat terrorism and destroy beautiful buildings that, quite apart from their sanctity, are testaments to creative and spiritual gifts mankind possesses. Misguided thought it may have been, we tried to help them move into modern society. Yes, we fucked up lots of things, but what the hell? Ultimately the responsibility to put Iraq back together was ALWAYS theirs. We can't, and shouldn't have to, do this alone.
Democracy is like Christianity, it's not for everyone. America needs to stop trying to shove both down every other country's throat. 'Nuff said!!
