Rachel today, with a little help from Dan Rather, tells us "The Iraq war was based on a bunch of carefully crafted political lies, and it's one of the biggest blunders we've ever made!"
I remember watching TV one day just before that war got started, as George 'Dubya' Bush gave us a speech in which he actually stood there, like God's brother-in-law with the Bible before him on the lectern, quoting to us from the book of Isaiah, as if to say God was on our side as we fought the forces of Evil in Iraq. It's a wonder he didn't choke on all that. There was intelligent and God-fearing life in Iraq for thousands of years before the white man took North America away from the Indians.
And I have a quote from Isaiah myself for 'Dubya' - From Isaiah 29:15 in the Lamsa translation of the Peshitta (the Eastern Catholic version of the Bible) and it goes like this: "Woe to them who act perversely to hide their counsel from the Lord; and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? And, Who knows what we do corruptly?"
