The Bush "policy" in Iraq is providing aid and comfort to the repressive government of Iran. If we follow Bush's "plan for victory," and somehow manage to succeed, the end result will be an armed Southern, Shiite, Iraq that serves as a near client-state to a nuclear-armed Iran.

Ancient history is always more fun than current events. One doesn't feel any *responsibility* for it.

OK. You're responsible for *knowing* it. You're still not responsible in the sense that you're the citizen of a country that is right now doing all these disgusting things.
