Son must finish dad’s work

THE EDITOR: If America claims that the Operation Iraqi Freedom is centered around freeing those who they believe are oppressed, why did the Marine Corps replace the flag at Iraqi’s main port of Umm Qasr on March 20 with their flag?

Is it not only conquerors who do things in such a way? Of did these so-called “freedom fighters” forget to close one of their “side windows” so that their true motives are slowly being leaked to the baffled public? Again we see the true power of America — the superpower! They are in charge of practically all of the news we see and hear. Propaganda, I tell you. What the eye sees and the ear hears, the mind believes So, yes, they did cover their tracks by following Washington’s order to remove the Marine Corps flag saying that they had come to liberate Iraq, not to occupy it.

But wasn’t America’s first objective aimed at ridding Iraq of weapons of mass destruction? Can someone please tell the world what is America’s true motive for this war? Personally, I believe that President Bush is obsessed with finishing something that his father was not able to. Bush might look like the biggest fool in history if he aborts his mission but he owes it to the world to give substantial reasons for his actions. I see many people demonstrating against the war. I hear the cries of the innocent people who are suffering while countries like Britain and Spain support and even follow America, disregarding their own morals and beliefs. Isn’t it clear that this war should not occur or perhaps many of us are not aware that the bible has evidence? Has the human race totally lost regard for the lives of others?
