Worst case scenario - everything you're afraid might happen, and the kitchen sink too. [ I have a strange, superstitious belief that to voice these fears is to somehow deflect the worst of possible disasters...]

Another article loaded with dystopic inferences, another nasty MeFi thread in the making.

Personally I wrote this editorial off as soon as the first sentence used unattributed hearsay to make the most significant point. But then again most war-related posts here are simply preaching to the choir or trolls (on both sides of the coin), so why should I expect any better?

"Do all you lefties here actually believe that shit?"

I wish I found this to be as ridiculous as you seem to.

But yes, I do think that Iraq will be a quagmire for the US. I think our inability to use diplomacy effectively will make matters worse. I think the war will increase terror attacks in the US.

I'm still proud to be an American. And I support our troops 100%. I hope they get the job done and come home safe. They'll get a hero's welcome from me.

But I also think the war is a very bad idea. And I think Bush has done more to hurt my country than any other president.

I hope things turn out well. But I honestly believe they won't.
