War Child
These are headline stories on the Time and Newsweek magazine I got today. Apparently, both magzines have changed (or refined) their views on the Iraq War, and are coming to the conclusion that perhaps Bush was right. I took some quotes from the articles that I thought summed them up pretty well.
TIME
"Change has started because of the American invasion of Iraq."
Bush "may have been right" - Daniel Shorr (a critic of Bush's foreign policy)
"I was cynical of Iraq. but when I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world....The Berlin wall has fallen. We can see that" - Lebanese leader Walid Jumblatt
"it was the America's overthrow of Sadaam's republic of fear that gave to the Iraqi people space and air and the very possibilty of expressing courage."
"It was not people power that set this in motion. It was American power. People power followed"
"Turns out critics, liberal and "realist' got the Arab street wrong....its (Iraqi and Lebanon's) leaders now openly point to American example and American intervention as having provided the opening for this first tentative venture in freedom."
NEWSWEEK
"Across New York, L.A., and Chicago--and probably Europe and Asia as well--people are nervously asking themselves a question: 'Could Bush possibly have been right?' The short answer is yes. Whether or not Bush deserves credit for everything that is happening in the Middle East, he has been fundamentally right about some big things."
--this quote above somes up the article nicely--
(Sidenote - none of these quotes are not taken out of context)
The Time aticle shows that even Jon Stewart is questioning his view on Bush and the Iraq War. What are your thoughts on these new developments.
