Your post touches on serveral items, I will try to respond to a couple of them.
I think you are forgetting that the original reason America invaded Iraq was on the [now well understood pretext] WMDs issue. The question of: "If the Iraqi people wanted democracy that bad..." is moot. The issue of democracy in Iraq [and soon to be extented elsewhere at gunpoint] is now being used because it sticks in the American public’s mind in the "Good" ledger column.
With this latest raison d’etre [for war] the American public will without thinking fall in line once again, as Cindy Sheenhan and her son had done, and the stage will be set for a repeat.
It would appear that nothing has been learned from the loss of Mrs. Sheehan’s son.
Therefore, I think to ask my original question and wonder if that will give the answer to stop the movie’s rerun.
