A Young Marine Speaks Out

This young marine is definitely one that the Bu****e administration would trot out to testify on troop morale or on the "successes" we are achieving in Iraq Nam. But His voice is, I suspect, one among many of our troops who can think for themselves and recognize reality! In Iraq, this country and its President picked about the worst possible venue for the attempted establishment of a "model democracy in the Middle East." The schismatic, divisive, sectarian, tribalistic and socio-religious character of that country is the WORST possible situation in which to attempt such a venture

"A recent Marine Corps intelligence report that was leaked said that the war in the al-Anbar province is unwinnable. It said that there was nothing we could do to win the hearts and minds, or the military operations in that area. So I wonder, why are we still there? Democracy is not forced upon people at gunpoint. It's the result of forward thinking individuals who take the initiative and risks to give their fellow countrymen a better way of life."
