Why did we disband the Iraqui police force and army and send thousands of armed men into unemployment and plunge the country into lawless chaos,forcing armed but desperate men to band together for protection in warring gangs headed by goons and thugs and leaving the general populace at their mercy? By doing this our occupation has made sudden violent death, kidnapping,rape and armed theft a daily occurrence for the majority of Iraquis in urban areas.
A U.S. Marine wrote in to say that we are NOW in Iraq to protect Iraquis from this violence. And I can believe that he really sees it that way. But ,if we had not gone in in the first place and disbanded their police force and their army, wouldn't it be safe to say that the problem wouldn't be there for us to have to solve?
Isn't this another reason why we should never have ventured there in the first place? I would say so.
