I read stories about the hellish life of an Iraqi soldier and other stories about Iraqi soldiers using women and children as shields and I wonder why it had to be this way. If George Bush 43 hadn't been such an incompetent at foreign policy. If he had used his lifetime of leisure and unparalleled opportunity to travel to somewhere besides Mexico we wouldn't be in this mess. We'd have a multilateral UN mandated force taking out the monsters in Sadaam's regime.
