My great grandfather was Iroquois and Osage Nation, I, like many a black man of african descent no longer take offense to the ignorance/prejudice or relevant situation of the American people during that time period.
Sorry but you have a completely inconsequential chance of changing my worldview. I was stating the obvious response to a blatant generalization of world events. So I responded with a generalization.
I thought it was related to Hebrew enslavement by the egyptians. Amenhotep the current pharoah of the time... Amen, being the then current invocation of 'God' in the guise of the pharoah, converted and empowered by the Hebrews to mean the one God... so they might worship in secret...

Invading then liberating Iraq creates freedom and liberty for the people of Iraq, thereby opening up a new group for US citizens to trade openly and freely with in materials, resources, ideas, politics and culture. Freedom and liberty within the US has and will be gauranteed for all time, it is the freedom to be a world citizen with open and fair access to and from all communities in the world which is at stake here.
Have you seen any of the documentaries on Iraq during the Saddam regime? There is no free flow of any thing Saddam has not approved. Nothing.
The United States should not need to prove itself to the world any more! Have we not already proven that we will stand by right? All policies of all administrations have not worked. Not all decisions are correct. People make mistakes. However overall the United States has moved consistencly in the direction of greatest benefit to the most people in the world and will continue to do so for the future... that is the nature of a democracy a republic or whatever political body you'd like to call it that the United States exemplifies in it's body of standards, laws and ethics.
The rest of the world has been in a state of economic, cultural and political chaos for the last twenty years. The breakup of the Soviet Union, the formation of the European Union, the westernization of the east, the rise of capitalism all over.... can you not see the upheaval this would create? People have had soooo much change in sooo little time that they can not imagine the added chaos of war, the added upheaval of their lives. Add to that a new global communications grid, global economy, the beginnings of a global culture. People are in doubt of the future and what it may hold, with good reason. People don't want any more change. They want 'peace' and 'stability' those two very ambiguous and relative states of being which no one has ever realized and will not recognize when they have achieved them.
This war won't be remembered in 20 years much less 50. What will be remembered is the revival of the Iraqi Persian culture and the advent of Iraqi economic independence from the state... Iraqi business initiatives in the global economy, Iraqi contributions to the global scientific community, etc.

Just for you...
" So are all the smartest people in the world scientists and computer geeks and artists, and not politicians? Are we doomed to be a minority, or at least a politically ineffective contingent? Does nature work it that way? What hope peace? Evolution? Sanity?"
Yes they are. Politics leaves no legacy but a footnote in the book of history. Real change comes not from policy but from productivity. What enables a democracy or socialist or any other modern nation-state to exist without heavy handed governance?
Medical science, technology and culture. The public must be healthy enough to work and pay taxes and they must have techno-leisure time to consume and products to consume. Who creates these things? Your Scientists, Geeks and Artists.
What gives the Scientists, Geeks and Artists the freedom, resources and environment to create?
Government, civil servants and military. Government manages public trust... taxes, resources, law, etc. while civil servants exercise those trusts and military protects those trusts. Without those trusts your Scientists, Geeks and Artists would never have the freedom, resources, environment nor even the time to create. They would all be so busy protecting themselves, providing for their own welfare and negotiating interpersonal disagreements over resources to ever get any work done.
So in the end it is a partnership of sorts. The smartest can and do survive on their own but when they want to do more than survive, to thrive, they must accept the necessities of a managing body and it's requirements.
What was that whole Bosnia thing about if not intervening in the 'internal affairs of a soverign nation'. We wouldn't have had to 'Peace Keep' if it weren't for that megalomaniac Milosevic.
How about this one... why does the rest of the world think they can mess with the affairs of our sovereign nation... I mean does our attack have any impact on France? Germany? Russia? Sure it does! So does the consistent and progressive oppression of one of the most intelligent, well educated and materially and culturally wealthy populations in the world. So does Saddam's support of terrorist organizations around the world. (Just because Osama doesn't like Saddam don't think he won't do his bidding just the same, if the price is right)
Finally, don't think this isn't an example to those countries who continue to terrorize their own people, the world citizens we depend upon for commerce in materials, ideas, culture and security. When a government oppresses it's own people with terror it denies the entire world of their potential for contribution to the good of all.
Sorry but pointing out that the right to Free Speech is being exercised by this guy at NPR isn't convincing me that the US is evil or that Bush is misguided or delusional.

Saddam did the same to Iran. He did the same to Kuwait. He did the same to the Kurds. He did the same to his own people, his own family. He supports groups who did the same to our people, our embassies, our children.
He did it. Not an elected government of representative of the Iraqi people. That is the difference. Bush was elected, Congress was elected, our military are volunteers, our people are free to speak their mind and choose their course of freedom.
Saddam has denied the Iraqi people the choice to be lead by another. He has threatened them with death if they choose to support another leader and has followed through with it. He has weakened Iraqi people who do not support him by denying them food, medicine and the supplies necessary to live; food, medicine and supplies the free world has offered in trade for oil, has traded for oil but was stolen from the Iraqi people by Saddam.
Who are you to deny the Iraqi people the chance for freedom?
Saddam apologists are like abused wives. They say that everything was 'okay' while he was beating them. "Don't make him angry, he might hurt me more. Don't call the cops, he'll hurt my children. He only gets violent when he's drunk or if I make him angry." As if things will ever get better, they don't they only get worse. Then the sons of abuse will take power and the cycle will continue.
The Iraqi people have an abusive leader and they need a good friend to come in and rescue them.
Many may give their lives for freedom, their families will be free to grieve for them. Many Iraqis have died in the past 30 years whose family could not even grieve for them in public.

Separately: will we be able to 'refuel' at the same stations as the cars when it all comes around?
I mean, when cars also use methanol, a much cheaper and more abundant supply of fuel, to supply our hydrogen fuel cells with hydrocarbons, will we be able to also 're-fuel' our laptop cartridges?
