I believe if you were one of the 220,000 marsh Arabs who's lives were destroyed you would be more willing to call Saddam Hussein a terrorist, just like if you were A New world order conspiracy nut you would be more likely to call Timothy Mcveigh a "freedom fighter" more than a terrorist. Your views, however warped they may or may not be would change considerably if you were more directly connected with the issues... Or you could just show empathy for your fellow man.
Why because he killed from a distance? Or because he inspired fear? Who do you think has added more "terror" to the world, Saddam Hussein or Old Ted? Can't they both be terrorists?
ive gave my views i dont agree with yours. i really am bored with you trying to justify a unjust war by labeling a dictator we installed and armed a terrorist so ive pretty much said all im going to say on the subject because it will go nowhere from here but in circles .
It seems your getting frustrated, but if you believe the war could be justified if it was PROVEN the Iraq government was harboring terrorists I believe you should consider the possibility that to MANY people in the middle east Saddam Hussein is the definition of a terrorist. If indifference to genocide can be considered a crime against humanity almost every U.S President could be put on trial for crimes against humanity.
im a libertarian and a constitutionalist i dont believe any war that has nothing to do with a threat against our sovereignty as a nation is justified.. we have no business being the worlds police force. if they felt he was a terrorist they should have handled it.
The owners of this country know that just like any informed citizen of the United States knows (However few and far between they are) Al- Qeada and MANY other terrorists groups are enabled and embedded all through out the middle east. You can't go to "war" against terror. In the next 40 years religious extremism will possibly be gone from the middle east(If the U.S don't cut out and let fanatical tyrants continue to rule there) and in its place will be something just as corrosive to free thought, American commercialism.(But at least people won't be willing to die for Mcdonalds) And if China hasn't declared formal war on the United States by then (Probably already would have) the United States will declare war on China. And the U.S can use it's brand new "friends" they made in the middle east to do the brunt of the fighting. As long as there is human greed and superstition there will be war. :svengo: If people are going to kill and die for wars that are staged on semi-false pretenses (as they almost ALWAYS are) at least try to look on the side of the dog shit the sun is shining on. Its not like anyone really has a say in who the owners of nations decide to kill for profit.
i saw that it was awesome did u see the look on his face when the shoe got hurrled at him (him being bush DUH)
Did anyone catch the news where the shoe throwers 6 or 7 year old nephew is telling the reporters (in a very serious face) that if they (the police) dont release his uncle he (the 6 year old)will throw his shoes at them....that was priceless
It's going to happen anyways. (And IS happening now) At least it will get rid of the religious extremism that plagues the area. It's kinda hard to justify strapping a bomb to yourself in the name of Nike. Religion and commercialism are equally corrosive to free thought.
