I was kind of hoping they were having these debates…
I thought maybe I was just missing the coverage of them or something.
Senator Byrd made a good speech last week about the lack of debate on the War on Iraq.
He goes a little overboard on some parts.
He nails it on a few key points. 1) Our representatives are not debating this action to any great degree. 2) It is an important change in US Foreign Policy 3) Our aggressive rhetoric could be creating more problems than it solves.
4) And finally what are we going to do after we depose Saddam?
Naturally he goes after President Bush's administration but I have to wonder what the heck the congress needs the administrations permission for. I mean can't they just have these debates? I guess I'd like to know how these debates are getting held up.
I'm still amazed that the best publicly televised government debate on this was back in September and it was the British Parliament.
I guess I can't really blame President Bush for not prioritizing the worldwide demonstrations. Our system of government is built on an assumptions that the 'mob' is usually wrong. There's certainly no loud arguments, however coming from our representatives in Congress.
Again.. what about after we depose Saddam.. what then..
