I read a letter to the editor today in the Oregonian by Micheal Hustman that I thought was great. Here's a little clip of it.
"Iraqi Shiites, who are the majority, are in a bloody dispute with the minority Sunnis, who repressed them under Sunni leader Saddam Hussein. We got rid of Saddam, providing the means for the Shiites to take power through our imposed democracy, but they are now supported by predominantly Shiite Iran, which is supposed to be our enemy. The Sunnis are backed by Bush's friends and allies in Saudi Arabia. Al-qaida supposedly favors the Sunnis and has allied with them."
Wasn't it Saudi Arabian al-Qaida members who were physically linked to the tragedy on 9/11? Maybe this one of those "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" thing. Do we even know who we're fighting over there? How will we ever be victorious in a war on terror if we side with the enemy?
