Yesterday was a proud one for the U.S. Senate, as they voted to kick Iraq in the teeth for no reason other than to make life difficult for President Bush. How glad we must all be that these brave souls are ready to saddle a devastated Third World country with crippling debt, in order to take a firm stand against war, or lies, or leaks, or more Americans were shot in Baghdad today, or where are the weapons, or something. How will forcing a destitute country to pay for the damage we inflicted upon it make a difference in any of the above things? Uh… THIS WAR WAS A FRAUD!
Disgraceful. May this incredibly shortsighted and spiteful punitive measure–essentially a big-budget remake of the Versailles Treaty–die a quick and well-deserved death.
