"Will the Mideast Bloom?

By Youssef M. Ibrahim
Sunday, March 13, 2005; Page B01

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates

"Listen to the conversations in the cafes on the edge of the creek that
runs through this Persian Gulf city, and it is hard to believe that the
George W. Bush being praised by Arab diners is the same George W. Bush who
has been widely excoriated in these parts ever since he took office.

"Nowadays, intellectuals, businessmen and working-class people alike can be
caught lauding Bush's hard-edged posture on democracy and cheering his
handling of Arab rulers who are U.S. allies."

"'His talk about democracy is good,' an Egyptian-born woman was telling
companions at the Fatafeet (or "Crumbs") restaurant the other night,
exuberant enough for her voice to carry to neighboring tables. 'He keeps
hitting this nail. That's good, by God, isn't it?' At another table, a
Lebanese man was waxing enthusiastic over Bush's blunt and irreverent
manner toward Arab autocrats. 'It is good to light a fire under their
feet,' he said."

Does a surgeon do harm when he cuts you open before replacing your
kidney/liver/whatev­er and saves your life?

A surgeon does harm when he supports a lying thug who leads us into
optional wars.

Does the surgeon before lie about you having a cancerous growth that
he needs to cut out ?

That's not the point: the statement was "First, do no harm."

So the question then was, "Does a surgeon do harm when he cuts you open
before replacing your kidney/liver/whatev­er and saves your life?"

We're not discussing the motivation of the surgeon.

That's pretty funny right there.

About how many cells does a surgeon kill when he cuts you open before
replacing your kidney/liver/whatev­er? About how many cells are killed in
your average abortion? Or are you just utterly making stuff up?

What there were some weak indications of cancer among other indications of no
cancer, but the doctor eschewed less invasive methods of investigation
because he really, really wanted to open the patient up and brand her uterus
because he's a big University of Kentucky fan?

But when it comes to cancer, you don't want to mess around. If you have
a strong suspicion of it being present and indications show its present,
you take it out. If you take it out and you're wrong, the worst that
happened is you subjected the patient to an unneeded operation. If you
don't take it out and it is cancer, you're dead. What's it going to be?

Of course, for sturgeons, if they say their biopsies showed cancer and
it didn't, and the biopsy was just a scare tactic to drum up sturgeon
business, well, the local medical board would find things a little fishy
and [more, unimaginable dreadful medico-nautical metaphors].

What if, when the surgeon is wrong about the cancer, the worst that
happens is a lot of soldiers get killed, maimed and injured?

Except the biopsies are usually done by other people and then interpreted
by other people. The surgeon gets called in usually after the biopsy or
other data points at cancer that is only curable with resection.

You see that's where things are really fishy. The sturgeons and the
biopsy people are all directed by the same pod. And it's definitely not
the one true pod. And the patient was busy getting a second opinion and
those biopsies all came back negative.

And its not like these sturgeons haven't swum in murky water before. Or
since.

Like the time they told the little urchin that they'd cut him to bits if
he told the true cost of a little side-sturgeon business.

It turns out that when it comes to the winds of freedom blowing, a lot
of Iraqis are wondering why the hell they risked their lives voting 6
weeks ago: 6 weeks and still no sign of a government.

Imagine, someone not being content with symbolic gestures.

Meanwhile, construction proceeds apace on American bases in Iraq. I
guess you promote yourself with the empty gestures you have not with the
empty gestures you might want to have.

I find the fact that some people are given no pause at all by the way Bush
handled the lead-up to Iraq and the fact that other people are utterly
unwilling to see anything positive at all in the results of the invasion
equally unsettling.

Maybe the tide _is_turning over there.

It may well continue to do so, at least until they discover that it's a

that stand to profit from their "democratic markets."

Saddam's out of power. Yeeeeeeaaaaahhh.

Satisfied?

Now, what's grimly comic about this story?

http://www.economis­t.com/agenda/display­Story.cfm?story_id=3­758983

"The Commission for Africa set up by the British prime minister, Tony
Blair, has released its long-awaited report. It contains some good ideas
on what rich countries can do to help the continent. But Africa will
remain poor until its own people tackle corruption and poor governance"

*******************­**************

Need help? We can spend $200bn and kill 10s to 100s of thousands of
people for Iraq, but Africa? It "will remain poor until its own people
tackle corruption and poor governance."

Gosh. Good thing Iraq was in line first. It sort of makes you think that
maybe our policy might have had something else on its beady little brain.

I don't quite follow. While I don't think Bush was overly concerned with
Iraq's WMDs (ergo, why I didn't vote for him), I do think he saw America's
national security interests tied in with what he did in Iraq. That
doesn't apply to Africa.

Are you thinking Dubya invaded Iraq for cheap oil?

He knew a) Iraq wasn't behind 9/11 and b) that there were no WMDs. So,
how could there be our security interest in Iraq worth +1500 lives and
thousands more casualties? (Not to mention the humongous number of Iraqi
lives.)

The punch line "Cheap Oil" is supposed to be a Michael Moore/UNOCAL
pre-emptive one to cut off discussion of a perfidious motive behind the
invasion. Har har.

I donut get it. I'm interested in what his motive for going into Iraq was
if it was in no way national security related. So just tell me already.
But if your answer is "cheap oil" then I'm gonna scoff. That's all.

A) He never claimed Iraq was behind 9/11
B) Intelligence data from both the US and other countries said he did.

While any deaths are unfortunate, given the mission and what has been
accomplished, thats way below any expectations. And now look at some of
the things that are happening around the Middle East. Let's play 'What
If' here. What if democracy begins to spread across the Middle East and
the War in Iraq was one of the major contributors to that end, would you
think that the men who sacrificed their lives would have sacrificed their
lives in vain? Having a peaceful and secure Middle East *IS* in our
national interests. Holding dictators accountable to the terms of a
ceasefire *IS* in our national interests. But you can't seem to see past
that you think Bush lied. It's sad in a way.

A) He never claimed Iraq was behind 9/11

He mentioned them in the same sentence often enough, and strung together
what I suppose you to believe unrelated claims, in such a way that a
large percentage of Americans believe that Iraq had something to do with
9/11. Lies of omission are just as bad as lies of commission...there'­s
no way you can deny that the Iraq War Marketing Effort was directly tied
to 9/11. None.

Iraq and 9/11 are related, yes. This does not mean that Iraq was
involved in the 9/11 attack. Iraq was involved in terrorism, though,
and in the overall view, that does related to the terrorism attacks on
9/11. That is how they are related. Saddam had the strong potential of
weapons proliferation and support for various terrorist groups and in
fact did give sanctuary to some terrorists both individually and as

of the ceasefire agreement and there was a situation that the status quo
wasn't going to handle. Add to that the discovered Oil-for-Food
scandal, and it was obvious that sanctions weren't working.

Amen!

I'm frustrated by the dishonest build-up to the war when a
good legitimate case could have been made.

I'm frustrated by the poor political planning with our
allies before the war.

I'm frustrated by the poor military and political planning
for the aftermath of war.

I'm most frustrated that none of the above were made as
potentially close judgement calls (although I think
the decision whether or not to go to war in Iraq was
such a judgement call), but were made each and every time
in the face of overwhelming evidence and predictions of
experts, and apparently each time for immediate
political reasons.

If you want to continue the metaphor here, we went in for
elective surgery (against the patient's will), and we're
now killing him with opportunistic infections that we
failed to prepare for.

There is the POTENTIAL for good, but I haven't seen much
evidence that it will be followed through. We've abandoned
Afghanistan to continue being a hell-hole, now we're
creating a hell-hole out of Iraq. I think the only way
you can be truly optimistic about the current situation
is to be completely ignorant of the history and current
religious and political trends in the region.

Uh-oh. Looks like you've got the Master List of reasons for the
invasion of Iraq. My plans here are scuttled.

Your convoluted rationalization of the "connection" between Iraq and
9/11 notwithstanding, the average American who believed there was a
connection simply did so because the president all but said so
explicitly. It was a lie then, and it's a lie now.

Well, you can read the senate resolution that had over 20 reasons for
war.

Its not Bush's fault if people want to believe what they want. Bush did
not say that Saddam was involved in the 9/11 attack. Until you can give
me a cite that says that he did, you have no support for your position.

Yeah, and it's MUCH better than people (to be polite I'll call them
"yankees") who call anything cooked on the grill "barbeque."
Speaking of which, if we attached a formal Consumer Product Safety > Commission-style product warning label to Jaros, what would it read?
