10 years after the Iraq war.

[TaraJo]

Their own capitalism bited them in the ass.

Did it?

Wealthy security companies still made a fortune sending unofficial troops to Iraq. Defense contractors still made a lot of money building the weapons we need to wage war. I'd say the capitalists got just what they wanted: money. If it weakened the country, they don't care; they just want to line their own pockets, regardless of the cost to the rest of us.

Me, I still remember being the only one who was against the war back in 2002/2003 and I kept telling myself that one of these days, I'm going to be able to look back and feel a kind of satisfaction that I was right all along. Turns out I was right, but I don't really feel satisfaction over it.

I also hate how the Iraq war was used politically. Anyone remember the 2002 midterms? Which political party was pushing for war with Iraq? How about the 2004 elections? Which party ran on the 'war-with-Iraq-is-a-good-idea' platform? This is the Republican's war, make no mistake on that one.
