Some questions on Iraq

2007-11-30

I thought that these were worthwhile questions to ask about the war. A few samples:

5. Is it not true that the intelligence community has been unable to develop a case tying Iraq to global terrorism at all, much less the attacks on the United States last year? Does anyone remember that 15 of the 19 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia and that none came from Iraq?

15. Are you aware of a Pentagon report studying charges that thousands of Kurds in one village were gassed by the Iraqis, which found no conclusive evidence that Iraq was responsible, that Iran occupied the very city involved, and that evidence indicated the type of gas used was more likely controlled by Iran not Iraq?

23. How can our declared goal of bringing democracy to Iraq be believable when we prop up dictators throughout the Middle East and support military tyrants like Musharaf in Pakistan, who overthrew a democratically-elected president?

Another Dirty Secrets review

In all, this is a game I liked playing a lot. Its daring use of randomness, coupled with well-tested structures and a basic trust in that players will do cool things when given enough freedom, makes the game shine in many places. It’s a matter of taste that I really don’t like the conflict system in the game.

“Daring use of randomness”…I like that!
