IRAQ, 9/11, & THE AMERICAN DREAM

“In retrospect many of us from diplomatic circles were dumbstruck at Americans inability, or unwillingness to ask the host of questions required for the years 2001 until 2003. Any American waxing eloquent about the wrongness of the Iraqi invasion in 2010 doesn't have the right to claim courage speaking out against the war. That time has come and gone. Those years were overwhelmed by the spectre of dictatorial patriotism, and Americans, at the time, refused to hear, or gain an historical perspective on the Middle East. And now regret is questionable. Is it to late? If any discussion comes from Condolezza Rice's admission of regret in Iraq remember the way we were taught to regard the hundreds of soverign nations we have invaded, left in shambles.” - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
