we had
Saddam contained and he posed no threat to his neighbors or us. So the thret he posed to te average citizen of Iraq is meaningless. The people he had tortured and murded don't count. Okay I see what you are thinking. I know he is dead but there are plenty of his followers still out there trying to do the same thing. If the criteria was a bad guy in charge, excepting Bush, we'd be fighting in lots of places. We aren't. It was a war of choice and now it's a civil war we helped start. So because we convince liberals like you to do the right thing in all of the countries where horrible murdering psychos are in power then we shouldn't do it in Iraq? Because there is bad everywhere that we can't get to but maybe this once we can help some people we should say F it? Your logic here doesn't make sense. And they need a civil war. We had one largely due to the desire to end slavery. I would argue that torturing people because they are a differnt religion than the leaders is is just as good a reason to have a civil war as slavery. Saddam is dead. You're living in the wrong century. Yeah but there are still a lot of people that want to pick up where he left off. A lot of people that think that the way you get what you want is to drive a car bomb into a city and blow up a bunch of children. But we shold let that go, that's America's fault not the guy who made the bomb or the guy who blew it up or the leadership that convinces them to do it. Nope it's America's fault, even though this has been going on there for decades. |

Okay I see what you are thinking. I know he is dead but there are plenty of his followers still out there trying to do the same thing. Actually, there aren't. Most of the violence is due to racial strife not people wanting Saddam back or do you think they're planning on having him be resurrected? If the criteria was a bad guy in charge, excepting Bush, we'd be fighting in lots of places. We aren't. It was a war of choice and now it's a civil war we helped start.

Because there is bad everywhere that we Excuse me, but I don't need convincing and neither should you. We need to strive to always do the "right thing in all of the countries" with which we possibly have any influence. We toppled Saddam, for the wrong reasons, but it's done. Why are we still there? We're the ones who are making the situation worse, and a majority of Iraqis don't want us there. Why are we there? The Bush administration has called what is happening in Africa GENOCIDE, yet we're hardly doing anything about it. Why? A couple of reasons... no oil, dark skin color, we're bogged down in a war of choice that's draining our resources and our military. can't get to but maybe this once we can help some people we should say F it? Your logic here doesn't make sense. And they need a civil war. We had one largely due to the desire to end slavery. I would argue that torturing people because they are a differnt religion than the leaders is is just as good a reason to have a civil war as slavery. They need a civil war? Well, they've got one, thanks to us. 100s of 1000s are dead and maimed because of us. I'm sure they appreciate it. Saddam is dead. You're living in the wrong century. Yeah but there are still a lot of people that want to pick up where he left off. A lot of people that think that the way you get what you want is to drive a car bomb into a city and blow up a bunch of children. But we shold let that go, that's America's fault not the guy who made the bomb or the guy who blew it up or the leadership that convinces them to do it. Nope it's America's fault, even though this has been going on there for decades. We didn't need to topple Saddam the way we did. If Bush, who had very high poll numbers at the time, had come to the American people, and said, listen, Saddam is murdering his people, I think we should do something, Bush would have likely gotten approval to do something from a Republican controlled Congress, perhaps even to go to war. Unfortunately, for both us and the Iraqis, we were mislead or worse lied to, there was no sound military plan in a large measure because of Rumsfeld, and now 100s die each day. And, let's not forget the "other" war in Afganistan. No one thinks there was lack of reasons to fight there. Initially, we did a great job, but now, due to lack of military resources, that situation is starting to fall apart... a place where Bin Laden and his buddies are *still* entrenched. All of this because of a war of choice. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

people wanting Saddam back or do you think they're planning on having him be resurrected? Actually there are. They don't want him ressurected they want to continue running the country the way Saddam did. Excuse me, but I don't need convincing and neither should you. We need to strive to always do the "right thing in all of the countries" with which we possibly have any influence. We toppled Saddam, for the wrong reasons, but it's done. Why are we still there? We're the ones who are making the situation worse, and a majority of Iraqis don't want us there. Why are we there? Apparently you do need convincing. Where do you get this majority of Iraqis stuff? Polls in Iraq show that hey want us there, soldiers returning form Iraq tell of the Iraqi people being very grateful for them being there. Where are getting this? Don't say you saw some reporter on the news say it or heard it in a newsgroup please. The Bush administration has called what is happening in Africa GENOCIDE, yet we're hardly doing anything about it. Why? A couple of reasons... no oil, dark skin color, we're bogged down in a war of choice that's draining our resources and our military. Yes because the people need an emotion response to get into gear and get behind doing the right thing. That is historically the US MO. WWII we did the same thing. I agree that we should be in Africa helping those people but Americans will never get behind it because they don't give a crap about people in other countries suffering until it directly affects them. They say they do but when it comes time to put up they get all whiny about how war is not the answer when sometimes, sad to say, it is. The people here need t have some kind of an excuse to go into it and when they forget the excusse they can't see there real reson or the good we are doing so they cut the balls off our resolution and make things worse. They need a civil war? Well, they've got one, thanks to us. 100s of 1000s are dead and maimed because of us. I'm sure they appreciate it. Many people were dying there before we ever came along. So many are dying because of the way their society is set up. The average person that just wants to live and not be oppressed is the ones I'm concerned for not the car bombing Jihad assholes. You are the kind of person that thinks it is okay to let a gang run a town and keep people in fear because standing up to the killers will cause them to kill more people until they are stopped. You thinkit is better to live in that fear and put up with oppression rather than risk your life to get your freedom from it. I'm not that kind of person. We didn't need to topple Saddam the way we did. If Bush, who had very high poll numbers at the time, had come to the American people, and said, listen, Saddam is murdering his people, I think we should do something, Bush would have likely gotten approval to do something from a Republican controlled Congress, perhaps even to go to war. No we would not have. This is evidenced by your earlier statement that Bush has said there is Genocide in Africa but nobody is calling for us to go to war there nobody is outraged and screaming on the news for us to be in Africa. We say oh that's too bad and watch more American Idol. The only reason we are doing the right thing in Iraq is because the people were lied to. You can't have it both ways. You can't say the onyl reason we went to war in Iraq is because we were lied to even though we may be helping people and then turn around and say we aren't in Africa because even though we know the truth and what is going on there. And, let's not forget the "other" war in Afganistan. No one thinks there was lack of reasons to fight there. Initially, we did a great job, but now, due to lack of military resources, that situation is starting to fall apart... a place where Bin Laden and his buddies are *still* entrenched. All of this because of a war of choice. The war in Afganistan is not with Afganistan but with Bin Laden and his followers who have been effectively stopped. We haven't left yet because if we do they may come back until we find Bin Laden and all of his followers. Last time I checked there hasn't been any terrorist bombings from his group int eh U.S. since we started this war with him so it seems to be working. |

Where are getting this? Don't say you saw some reporter on the news say it or heard it in a newsgroup please. OIC... I guess ABC, NBC, CBS, and gulp FOX news are all liberal media. Not to mention, God Forbid, NPR. The Bush administration has called what is happening in Africa GENOCIDE, yet we're hardly doing anything about it. Why?

You thinkit is better to live in that fear and put up with oppression rather than risk your life to get your freedom from it. I'm not that kind of person. But not via car bombs in crowded markets. Feel free to hurl your insults, but it doesn't strengthen your argument. We didn't need to topple Saddam the way we did.

You know this because you're an expert in all things related to how Americans think, feel, act. Well, ok.... And, let's not forget the "other" war in Afganistan. No one thinks there was lack of reasons to fight there.

It's with the Taliban, which was the "legitimate" gov't of Afganistan. Oh, so because something hasn't happened, therefore it won't happen. Sounds like Bush's philosophy right before 9/11. He went on vacation. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Since the two of you buffoons can't seem to maintain decorum and some sense of what should be discussed at such length in a group where it is off topic, I'm guessing it would be okay to forget a certain phone call and resume endless posts about drug use and homosexuality. Happy to oblige! CWM What are you talking about? We're having a semi-rational discussion. Are you upset by something? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
