"We can be heroes..."

"...just for one day." "Heroes" by David Bowie

Seriously, I don't believe any of this "democracy" junk the media's been feeding us. I don't really believe that we have invaded Iraq just to make the country democratic. I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that the country with one of the best economies is going to spend billions of dollars and hundreds of people's lives on making some country on the other side of the world democratic. Call me a pessimist but I doubt we are such good Samaritans these days.

Besides, even if we did intend to convert Iraq to democracy, wouldn't the big shots leading this country be intelligent enough to think of a much better way? How about dropping propaganda about the country, convincing the people to revolt against their opressive government? Or what about ceasing all trade with Iraq? Or making them dependent on our imports and bribing them in this way?

I don't claim to know anything about anything, especially about this war. But sometimes, it's just common sense. That's something more people should get a hold of.
