OK OK this left/right shit is getting pretty annoying. I'm gonna put in my

Let's use my new CommonSense? political stance decision protocol. Hopefully in the future, peoples brains will have enough computing power to think in variables other than binary(left/right).
Q: Is Bush just trying to get some oil by lifting sanctions?
A: Yes. He's a scumbag.
Q: Did the sanctions cause lots of death and a shit quality of life for iraqi's while barely hurting the regime?
A: Yes, sanctions were obviously not the right choice.
Q: Did the USA liberate Iraq for the right reasons?
A: Probably not.
Q: What about Russia, didn't they arm Saddam?
A: Yeah, I think they did. Funny they'd want to lift sanctions.
Q: But was the freeing of the Iraqi people undeniably worth it, whether you agree with the US government or not?
A: Yeah, I'm sure an Iraqi wouldn't agree with the gov't, but they sure are happy to be free(er).
So my decision making protocol has honestly identified motives and outcomes and compared the current situation to precedents set by past actions of the administration.
So basically we've decided that lifting sanctions will ultimately be good for the people of Iraq. That is what really matters. Russia brings up the fact that until a stable government is set up in Iraq, security should be tight, but we can pretty much tell that that's truly not their motives.
So, I support Russia in their suggestion to keep sanctions intact for now, but I support Bush in his plan to lift sanctions.
Wow, I feel so proud. I made a decision and admitted the faults of both parties rather than being totally loyal! I guess you really DON'T have to support a party's ideals or motives in deciding to support a single decision. Who would have thought?
