Bush: History to prove Iraq war worth it

I am using the same title as the article that I read today.

When I read articles like this I usually have a commentary running in my mind that is contrary to what the written piece says.

In this piece they write: "The ideals and interests that led America to help the Japanese turn defeat into democracy are the same that lead us to remain engaged in Afghanistan and Iraq," Bush said in advance excerpts of a Wednesday speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

"The defense strategy that refused to hand the South Koreans over to a totalitarian neighbor helped raise up an Asian Tiger that is a model for developing countries across the world, including the Middle East," Bush said.

Meanwhile, in my mind he's hoping that in the future history will show that by his actions we have secured a long-term, stable source of oil for the United States.

I don't believe at all that he cares about spreading Democracy to either Afghanistan or Iraq. These are both God-forsaken countries and Afghanistan was only used as a stepping-stone to get to Iraq. If it hadn't been for the oil we wouldn't be there. Look at Sudan, and the issues in the Darfur region. Did we intervene there? Look at Rwanda. Did we intervene there?

It's all about the oil and he's hoping that we thank him in the future for lying, and misleading us in the present for our future happiness.
