instill a democracy in a country where no one wants it |
And you know this for a fact how? As I said, noone in the Bush-bashing media is asking the Iraqis themselves how they feel. How do you know this?
Since when is it America's place to "rework the geopolitical face of the Mideast?" Sounds a whole lot like imperialism to me. |
Someone has to, otherwise they'll never get anything done. The worst thing that happened to those poor, backward people was when the western Empires pulled out and left them to their own devices. Nothing but trouble from and for them since.
And, Iraq may have supported terrorism against the west, |
Thanks for the support, dabe....that's all you had to say.
Saddam was never a supporter of Bin Laden, and certainly not like America's CIA was. |
Well, you know, Iraq and the CIA were both supporting bin Laden at about the same time; back in the 80's when he was working against the Soviets in Afghanistan. It was a worthy cause at the time. Since 1989, the CIA has had little to do with him, which is part of the reason he hates us so much.
The interesting thing is that Saddam's Iraq was the only secular Arab country in the Mideast. |
Untrue...Saddam was "God" in Iraq, and kept his divine status by murder and repression. Not anymore, I'm happy to say.
We've furked that up, too. And, in that it will now be a theocracy, thanks to the dubya dummies, we've lost. We cannot win. All we can do is install political cronies (and we know how good dubya is at doing that), allow them to theocratize the nation as they see fit, then stand back and say Yahoooooo! Mission Accomplished. They now have a democracy that was fixed, with elections wherein no one knew who to vote for, and a puppet government that sanctions theocracy. And, all it costs is $bllions and thousands of lives. What an accomplishment. |
Whatever dabe.....you don't know any of this for fact. You're speculating based on your own hysterical views. In twenty years, when Iraq is the new Japan and is a flourishing example of a thriving democracy, will you shut up then? No you won't. You'll still be bitching, because it's what you do best. Either that, or you'll smile proudly and say "I knew it all along!" Whatever.
