oh THAT noble cause

well shit, if george bush had just told the american people that the noble cause in iraq was to install a government based on sharia, i don’t think ANYONE would have had a problem with that. from a kurdish member of the iraqi parliament:

“We understand the Americans have sided with the Shi’ites,” he said. “It’s shocking. It doesn’t fit American values. They have spent so much blood and money here, only to back the creation of an Islamist state … I can’t believe that’s what the Americans really want or what the American people want.”
