Yes or no to Bush?(on the right)(George W. Bush)(Interview)
NEW YORK, JANUARY 12
YOU are a Republican legislator, retiring after this, your fifth term. Last night, you composed a questionnaire for yourself.
(1) Is it a strain to send more troops to Iraq?
No. A country of 300 million has resources insignificantly depleted by the proposed increase in troops.
Yes, there would be sacrifices. I am not going to spend ten seconds describing the anguish of the families of soldiers wounded or killed, which does not diminish that anguish. We are talking in clinical language. Hospitals don't pause to bemoan the deaths that occur on their premises. The U.S. has been at war in Iraq for nearly four years. No sacrifice of a corporate character has been asked of the American people. Taxes haven't been raised, gasoline hasn't been rationed.
Life in free countries produces victims in every field. In the past four years, 3,000 American soldiers have died in Iraq. In the same period, about 170,000 Americans have died in car accidents, and about 1.6 million have died from tobacco-related illnesses.
(2) Is our Iraqi enterprise worth a corporate commitment by the U.S.?
