Normalcy? That ship left five years ago when "America does not do nation building". Even George Jr has been caught saying that American troops may be in Iraq for the next ten years.
Considering how the Democrats even folded like wimps - less, George Jr is probably correct. And just like in Nam, the American death rates will only increase every year. As for the indigenous people (also called Iraqis) - they are now nothing but cattle to be slaughtered. That is the attitude that Americans are taking. Wacko extremist somehow call that morality.
No, I am not kidding. We took this same attitude in Nam. Vietnamese became nothing but horsemeat in a war where our 'big dics' were still fighting a proxy war against China and USSR. "Mission Accomplished" is following the same track complete with an adminstration that claims we are "winning the war". Iraqis are now taking on an image of second class people complete with an American puppet government. Americans - military and civilian - are becoming numb to the massacres of the locals. Even American troops in mass numbers (one in three) consider torture and indiscriminate shooting to be 'situation normal'. It’s only a matter of years before America creates another My Lai.
Deja vue Nam. When our leaders are outright liars and crooks, crime - domestic and military - becomes acceptable. Tell me in such situations where anything for Iraqis can be normalcy?
