Hi Alec,
Here’s a different take and some different points:
Resurging German postwar Power

Joerg,

“Only 6 million Iraqies? Isn’t it more like 30 million Iraqis?”

26 million and some change to be exact! Don’t know where I pulled the 6 million out of my head.

“Alec’s post was not about Iraq, but about Germany…”

I was not commenting on the article. I was defending Rosemary from the Poetryman. Poetry man chastized Rosemary for believing that the U.S. liberated Iraq.

Alec’s post was not about Iraq, but about Germany…

Poetryman,

I don’t know what you are laughing at. I wholeheartedly agree with Rosemary: the U.S. liberated 6 million Iraqies from a Secular faciist, who end the end, was toying with Islamo-facisim to prop up his corrupt, failing regiem.

I would log on to Iraqi blogs and read some Iraqi opinion. If you have tunel vision and only listen to the opinion of the Trans-Atlantic, old guard, left elite, then poll any Shite, Kurd or Christian Iraqi and ask them if getting rid of Saddam was not a good thing.

Getting rid of Saddam and his henchman was a good thing.

Exposing the corrupt UN Food for oil program and Security Counsil duplicity in taking kick backs from it…was a good thing.

Killing Zarkawi, whose Al Quida terror cell was always based in Iraq, most likely with Saddam’s tacit approval…was a good thing.

Getting the Iraqi economy going again….was a good thing.

Finding the recently disclosed weapons of Mass Destruction (Over 500 chemical artililary rounds)….was a good thing.

Finding out who our true friends in the world are…..was a good thing.

[...] Atlantic Review—a site specializing on German American relations (and one who I wrote a piece for on German militarization also at PubliusPundit)—does a transatlantic roundup on the effects of Guantanamo on public relations and diplomatic efforts, the changing faces and views of the neocon movement, and a new development—German patriotism!

Rosemary: Thanks. France is in NATO however, and has contributed troops to the efforts in Afghanistan and Kosovo. I agree on Darfur, but who will send troops?

Rosemary,
Forgive me if I am reading your comment incorrectly, but are you suggesting that we went into Iraq to “liberate” the Iraqi people? LOL indeed!

Great post! The one thing I may disagree with is pretending that the French are our (USA) allies. lol.

We understood Germany, for some reason. At least we did not resent your decision not to fight for democracy. You know, liberating the Iraqi people.

I just hope you will agree with us if it becomes necessary to defend the poor Darfurians. It has been too long since they have needed our help. Have a great day.
