Short commute so short phlog. Iraq... is anyone surprised? What did we expect when we withdrew our armed forces? That an inexperienced government in a country rife with religious and ethnic division and extremism would sort itself out? Do we really learn nothing from history? I think the honest truth, and this is true of the majority of Americans, is we didn't bother to care. Based on the political dialogue and media around Iraq from the start of the war to when we pulled out, it seems clear that we value the lives of our own more than the lives of others. How many Iraqi lives is one American soldier worth? If one American dies saving ten Iraqis, did the world benefit or lose? Did America benefit or lose?
