Why Iraq? It's Simple....and Sad

Dear editor:

Let's face it, Baby Bush attacked Iraq for a reason.

In one of his early speeches he once again invoked the phrase "Axis of Evil" referring to Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. To prove, wrongly, that he was a man of power and destiny, he chose the one he knew would be the easiest to tackle, since Daddy Bush had already shown how weak their army was. Iran and North Korea scared the hell out of him so he left them alone. He had no idea how things would turn out in Iraq, which we now all know since "Mission Accomplished."

Now that he has shown the world what a "paper tiger" we are, Iran and North Korea are not afraid of us and threaten day in and day out. Our problem is that we have no cards to play. Where does that leave us? Up the creek. And it encourages other despotic countries like Venezuela to walk all over us.

Let's face it, the only Superpower in the world today is China, and Bush, understandably, wouldn't say boo to them. They own our manufacturing, our ports, and our national debt.
