Baker's Panel Rules Out Iraq Victory
in response to reader comment: He said we would fight terror.... then didn't

At last common sense is prevailing over a destructive and divisive war. With a US puppet government in Iraq, a western democracy forced on the Iraqis, the slaughter and war crimes committed by western forces and devisive measures in place to ensure civil war are the ingredients of a right wing fundamentalist and imperialist 'George Bush' whose ultimate goal is to take a foothold in the ME and spread western style democracy at the expense of the countrys' natural resources. The West cannot win the war. They are fighting a a new phenomenon both ideologically and militarily and are losing at every turn. The West seeks recognition in life, whilst Muslims seeks martyrdom in death. The fabric of Muslim society is religious cohesiveness whilst the West is political. The consensual hatred of the west has emboldened and strengthened a people whose way of life is threatened. To ignore James Baker recommendations would be to cultivate more retaliation and resentment in an already fragile ME. May Tony Blair and George Bush be brought before a Criminal Court Tribunal to be punished with life imprisonment for the suffering their foreign policies have inflicted upon a nation and the collateral damage around the ME and the west by hundreds of thousand of lives being lost in a war that you cannot win.
