You mean everyone isn't sending in their nylon stockings for the manufacture of parachutes this time around? Uh, do you think I can get mine back?

Isn't the lives of thousands of brave young men and women and 80 billion dollars sacrifice enough? The fate of the world hung in the balance during WWII. This war was a mistake based on false information. |

Posts a cartoon of a dead mother and her dead baby and laughs about it ..... ..... words escape .... if that was rtw's idea of some kind of sick joke .... I am not amused in the least. ![]() I'll remind you all that had the Kurds who thought the USA (who incited them to rebell against Saddam's regime) recieved proper support , rather than being left to the mercy of Saddam's inforcers and abandoned , then the gasing of the Kurds would not have happened. The USA has blood on it's hands over that autrocity too. The autrocities against Kurds were not stated (even in passing) as a justification for going to war against Iraq. (you are of cause welcome to prove me wrong and give an appropriate pre-invasion quote and link if you can find one). |

So would prefer one powerful militarist nation running the world and forcing everyone comply with what is beneficial for them exclusively , and being able to do essentially as they please (invade nations who are not cooperative or agreeable to them, and incite instability in those nations who are too strong to actually directly militarily attack. If anything, the UN needs to greatly strengthened so they can impose sanctions of their own accord , even against powerful rogue nations and superpowers. |

Apparently we look like this now

^^^ Ok, how about countless violations of UN resolutions by saddam. We just enforced it. Sure, President Bush should have said that at first, but he didn't. Oh well. But, I guess some people think the Iraqis were better off with rape rooms, torture rooms, etc. And, I'd bet that most of those people are all for military action in Darfur to stop the same thing...But, what do I know? I'm just a blood hungry "neocon" EDIT: This post is a reply to Somerled's first of 2 posts above this one. |
