Don't read this...I don't know what I'm talkin about.
---------------
I just ate dinner with Orgazmo, and we had one of those "what if" kinda conversations where we ponder the meaning of life, etc...
I came up with the following question during all this:
If the Iraqi people were being murdered and tortured by Saddam Hussein, why didn't they just kick him out of office? I know that sounds simple, but go with me here.
Say somehow George Bush gained control of this country. The Constitution went out the window, and he became our dictator. Would we just sit back and wait for Britain or someone else to come save our asses by getting George out of power? I know I wouldn't. If I didn't want him in power, I would do everything I could do to get him out, even if it meant giving up my life.
That's what I don't get. If the Iraqi people really wanted Saddam out of power, then why didn't they just do it instead of waiting on us to come to their rescue? Kinda seems like a weak nationality of people to me.
I dunno...maybe I'm just rambling here and missing a very key variable that would answer my question.
Oh, another thing: Why on Earth did we decide that Saddam should be taken out of power? Who the hell do we think we are? I know I'm hinting at the Isolationist Theory here...but I think it's a damn good question. Americans are no better human beings than Iraqis are...what the fuck were we doing just marching over there and changing their shit around? Sometimes I'm not 'proud' to be an American...I guess this is one of those times. I'm sure soon I'll stop thinking so clearly, and just go back to blindly following American Patriotism.
