Sad state of affairs
Was running through Naveen's blog and came across a (post) where he spoke about the human rights scandal in Iraq and his support for Bush to 'finish the job in Iraq'.
While I feel dismayed that a great country's image and reputation built over countless generations has been destroyed, by a stupid bunch of people, I am sad that people who are well educated and smart in just about everything else in life don't see through the bullshit spewed by the current administration. I guess having more money allows you to spin the news which skews public opinion.
It is inconcievable that people are not calling Bush out for lying to the nation and sending people to die for a fake cause. If the data from the CIA was wrong, then heads SHOULD roll. You cannot take a nation to war, kill god knows how many civilian unless you are absolutely in the RIGHT! Being partially right or totally wrong as in this case does not count. While watching CBS news last night saw some pictures of American marines who had been killed in combat and it is so sad to see 20 - 25 year old kids who will not be coming home. And all for what? Some CIA analysts mistake? Bush's ego? Rumsfields ideology?
As far as Naveen's assertion that Bush will finish the job, I have to disagree. In my opinion this is just going to fan the hatred amongst those who lost their families as "collateral damage" and Bush far from finishing the job has just widened its scope and recruits.
I am just saddened by this whole mess. This crazy world has to come to its senses, and fast or peace and security will be lost forever.
This has been a digression from my MBA theme, and I might just delete it at some point of time in the future. But felt strongly about the situation, had to say this out aloud, and the comments section on Naveen's blog just wouldn't allow me enough space to vent.
