Wil's Rant

Two years after the invasion of Iraq, protests continue around the world. Not all that surprising considering just about every word out of George Bush's mouth on the matter has been lies. Regardless of whether or not we agree with the reasons for starting this war in the first place, it goes without saying that the Americans have a responsibility to clean up the mess they have made. All is not bad news however, there are some small gains which can be credited to the war. Mostly, these have to do with the progress that has been made in other Islamic countries which can be attributed to the Iraq war. In many Islamic countries the push is on for more moderacy and away from extremism. The world is at the threshold of whether we exterminate ourselves over the next few years or whether we manage to overcome our petty differences and come together for the good of all.
