But what about the people who don't break the laws? What about the innocent people? What about the Americans at the detainee camp who have been stripped of their Constitutional rights who may or may not be innocent? I'm sure a lot of these people thought that it couldn't happen to them either. No one should ever think that it couldn't happen to them. I learned that a long time ago. It has been steadily getting worse, and it's only going to get worse from here. The fact that no one can give me a halfway decent answer as to why we are in Iraq trying to establish democracy when it has been proven time and time again throughout history that we cannot establish a democracy in Iraq until other things happen first proves my point. Well let me tell you, the things that have to happen first are not going to happen any time soon. History is bound to repeat itself once again.
Why are we in Iraq? Why did we go over there in the first place? If it was for Hussein, then why didn't Clinton go over there? Why has the government told us that the Iraqi people hate Americans? Do they really hate us? So many questions unanswered...
In the New York Times on August 17, 2006, Bob Herbert wrote an article called The Tyranny of Fear. It might put a different perspective on the situation.
