The more I keep hearing this running jingle from both candidates, especially Bush, the more I get disinterested in living in this country much longer. Whenever someone brings up that Iraq was a threat, someone shoots back that it wasn't one. Yet, the next counter always says something along the lines of, "Well, Saddam was killing his own people, and you'd just let them all die? They're safer now that we've kicked Saddam out." Yes, granted this is true that Saddam was an evil dictator, but self-righteousness with convenient blindness is even worse to me.

If helping the Iraqi people gain refuge from Saddam was our newest and "Best" reason for Iraq, what about the Sudanese government committing genocide against their own people? What about the mass acts of atrocity occurring every single day in Central America? What about North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran even?

Why are the lives of some placed over the lives of others?

Take care all.
