Baghdad and Kabul: politics versus war Paul Rogers – openDemocracy
As the Iraqi situation stands today, I worry that the United States may or may not be, once again, supporting the formation of a barbaric regime. This is the risk in being the primary instrument by which a power structure is instituted. And America has stepped to that platform.
I pray that our government makes the right calls in this present responsibility. I cannot imagine a gamble more fraught with risk than the one we find ourselves in now…. especially as it looks as though we will up the ante in numbers of military lives.
If ever there was a time to pray for our country and for wisdom to be given our leadership, I believe that time is now.
Even this far into things….. maybe especially this far into things….
