Reply #13: A monument to arrogance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[Faryn Balyncd]

Nothing is a more fitting symbol of the fundamental moral failing of our current foreign policy.

We rejected our values for a false promise of security when we adopted the principle of pre-emptive war.

We traded our soul when we appointed ourselves guardian of an area with natural resources important to our "way of life".

We are losing our liberties in the bargain.





Our next president should abandon this monument to arrogance, and give it to the Iraqis with no strings attached.

It would be an extremely small and inadequate down-payment for what it rightful their due.

(The $600 million is, in fact, only 30% of what the Anbar sheiks are currently demanding for their changing sides. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071102/ts_nm/iraq_usa_anbar_dc )
