I'll bite.
I'm trying to understand the impact of Saddam Hussein's capture. I watched Donald Rumsfeld's interview with Dianne Sawyer and from what I can grasp, we caught someone who the U.S. administration believes should be put to death.
The only response Rumsfeld had as to the impact was that a major money source for Iraqi rebels or "terreristss" is gone. Saddam had $750,000 in cash on him. Can you honestly say he's funding Iraqi terror or is it safe to say that they're probably having no problem finding money on their own. If he were funding terror in Iraq, how come the money he had can be rounded to the thousand.
His capture resolves nothing. I've been grasping for justification on why but I just thought to myself, Rumsfeld repeated several times on how a brutal dictator who killed "tens of thousands" of Iraqi's is now in custody but I thought to myself, "CASTRO, WHAT'S HE UP TO THESE DAYS?"
I am a firm believer that the only way you stop terror is to stop pissing people off. Sure there are extremists who will find a reason to dislike you but how I get the feeling that a lot of people have a problem with the U.S. Must be because we get to drive cool cars. Not because of foreign policy. No, we know best, k?
