Why is it so hard for some people to tell the obvious truth about Iraq?

[stickdog]

Yes, Saddam was really bad.

But we've replaced him with:

anarchy
the almost universal hatred of the US among one billion Muslims
guerrillla warfare
car bombs
depleted uranium
an ex-pat neocon criminal named Chalabi
a ruined infrastructure
still no electricity
a bombed out UN relief effort
a compromised UN
historical allies that eye us with suspicion and distrust
over 300 dead American troops
at least 5,000 dead Iraqi civilians
at least 10,000 dead Iraqi troops
al Qaeda
warring factions assassinating each other's leaders

and, finally,

Saddam

all at the projected cost of about 1/2 of a trillion dollars that we're putting on a credit card.

And for what?

For nothing. Not even the oil we were supposed to be able to steal like candy from a baby.

We're a lot less secure now than we would have been with Saddam in power and our troops protecting us instead of protecting themselves and Iraqis against other Iraqis and foreign agents and terrorists.

The only good thing I can think of that came of the war is that our military is now too bogged down to adventure off elsewhere.

1. It is attributable to brain science, in my humble opinion.

Neurology dictates.
Sort of like looking at a picture of a cube drawn with lines.
Our brain can perceive the cube in two perspectives but only one at a time.
In order to see a new perspective of the cube one has to give up their existing perspective in order to see the new one.
None of us that I know of can see both cubes simultaneously.
We can switch back and forth but not both at the same time.
