I recently posted a different approach to Iraq. How about respecting and listening to our professional military and veterans?

QuestionItNow - Still in Iraq is now one year old. Sadly, we are not in a position to change the title of this blog. It is doubtful we will be able to do so any time soon.

The Iraq war was sold to the American people and the world as part of a greater global ‘war on terror.’ Strangely, this has turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. While Iraq was not a haven for terrorists before we invaded, it has now become a rallying cry, a recruitment tool, and a training ground for the next generation of fanatical radical terrorists. The latest National Intelligence Estimate has confirmed what many progressive thinkers and questioning Americans have long feared, “…the continued U.S.-led occupation of Iraq is increasing the threat of global terrorism by spurring radical Islam.”

Still In Iraq examines America at war in the post 9/11 world. We are living in an era unlike any other in our history. Our leaders have declared a perpetual ‘war on terror’ by ensuring we will have plenty of enemies to fight in this ‘generational struggle’. It looks like we plan to pass this war on to our children, and very possibly their children, in the same way the Bush administration is content with passing this war onto the next president. (more)
