Comments on: Iraq https://catholicmaniacs.com/2006/01/03/iraq/ It's CRAZY Everyone's Not Catholic Fri, 06 Jan 2006 14:21:34 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 By: HeathenBoy https://catholicmaniacs.com/2006/01/03/iraq/#comment-120 Fri, 06 Jan 2006 14:21:34 +0000 http://blog.catholicmaniacs.com/?p=167#comment-120 It becomes an isometric exercise, that is it wears you out and accomplishes nothing. We aren’t going to convince anybody of anything on this deal. While I firmly believe that 25 years down the road, we’ll see a free and at peace middle east because of the forced introduction of democracy, W will not get any credit. Our attention span is simply too short for this kind of thing anymore, people just don’t remember that we occupied Germany and Japan for a decade before letting them have sovereignty back; and Germany saw its share of Nazi simp terror attacks (as it does again today) just as we do in Iraq. This kind of thing just doesn’t work in the kinds of timetables the TV generation is used to. We want a resolution and status quo ante before the last commercial.

I think it is important to stop and try to consider the validity of these issue’s. I myself have to stop and decided just how much of this release of information is based on someones political agenda regardless of Patriot or Terrorist. I can see situations like this report being used to fan the flames from both sides.

Once I have reached a conclusion on it factuality I then try to become aware of the feel of the situation.

The final step of examing the subject of this magnitude once you have reached a very informed finalization of your own opinion is to hold it within oneself.

I can no more define it as needed or totally uncalled for since I do not have to live directly in this world but I will say that even if I took the stand against
Torture I could see where I would tolerate it to save a loved one close to me. Yes this would be a very selfish exception but I know that I could choose it in certain circumstances. So therefore I will not speak out in a concrete manner on this issue but quietly keep the rest of my thoughts to myself on this matter.
