Aren't we angry enough? I just don't get it. Yes, I'm still on about the issues in my last post.
Digby has a post up about the cost of this war. If we would only pour that amount into rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure and getting their economy back up, the "insurgents" would be stymied and Iraq and the rest of the world would start to like us again (shades of Sally Field). If everyone in Iraq were prosperous, they would have no reason to fight each other. With Leon Uris's Trinity fresh in my mind, whatever anyone says about religious wars, no one wants to risk their and their children's well-being in violence just because their neighbors go to a different mosque or church.
There will always be religious and political differences among people, but they don't escalate into violence unless there are significant economic issues as well. Where are the historians?
