Oh, my goshie! Sorry about those silly posties ^-^ Annousenka really isn't this keyed - uppie usually, heehee ^-^

why dont you ask the 12 million people we freed over there if it was worth it
alot of them are so ignorant their opinions don't matter but there really are a lot of grateful people over there
Iraq was attacked twice and thousands of thier citizens killed , the first attack based on what the US and Britain had created, the second to secure business access to the middle east.
Both attacks were completely wrong.
I am pretty damn sure that sectarian violence will continue in Iraq, just as it has all through this occupation.
I am also a firm believer in the edict of "you reap what you sow" and for each person killed by Brit or US forces there will be at least one of thier family who swears revenge. Thats how terrorism works and also where the idea of "one mans terrorist being another mans freedom fighter" comes from.
The dream that all Iraqis are gratefull for our "help" (cough cough) is soured by the knowledge that the same two countries that liberated them from Saddam were once very good buddies with him.
BS wars caused by BS goverments to keep thier house of cards in place and to secure the economic future of the elite groups of families that have always been part of the old boys brigade.
Soooo much bullshit , so little time..:thumbsup:
I think I've become one of the site's harshest critics of U.S. foreign policy in general, not just the Iraq War, so you know which way I voted.
MPLSSweedman, one could easily argue that the opinions of your average reality-TV-addicted philistine don't matter...the author of "The Age of American Unreason" (I can't remember her name), was inspired to write it after she overheard one guy telling another about how Pearl Harbour started the Vietnam War. These people shape their values based on cultural tradition and what they've been told just as much as any Iraqi citizen. The lies are different, but equally poisonous.
What viewpoint has caused, from a utilitarian perspective, more death, the view that non-Muslims are infidels who should be blown up, or the view that it is the duty of the morally superior U.S. to enforce its values throughout the world? The answer's easy.
Edit: That seemed to imply that the guy thought Pearl Harbour started Vietnam because that's what he's been taught...that isn't the case, of course; the case is that intellectual curiosity is basically dead, and all anyone wants to do is kick back to the latest vacuous entertainment, assured that their government must have the right basic values. The notion that their leaders' values may be wrong and destructive isn't one entertained by many.
Wow, this thread is 4 years old!
Don't forget! Only 80% of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi...
oh, wait...
any way you look at it, if you threaten the USA you will get fucked up

How did you come to such a stupid conclusion ?
I believe that if you check your history you will find that the US only has itself to blame for the hatred directed towards them.
The US has constantly interfered in the business of both countries.
Have you forgotten how the US helped Saddam?
Or how the Iranians were allies to the US in Afghanistan?
Or how the US was instrumental in allowing the Taliban to buy weapons through proxies ?
Please don't insult my intelligence by bringing 9/11 into the argument as neither the Afghans or Iraqis were implicated in any way.
maybe we shouldve just let saddam stay in power, he wouldve came close to hitler in number of murders
you non-americans have absolutely ZERO right to tell us how to fight our wars
theres a good reason we're america and you arent
2 posts in and already you're throwing Hitler into the mix , that's gotta be a record.Quote:

America has zero right to tell others what they can or cannot do but the arrogance of your goverment knows no bounds.Quote:

Please enlighten me ,when did Saddam declare war on America , did we all miss the Afghan declaration too ?
America took it upon themselves to ignore any real information and go with what suited them and thier interests.
Because we're too smart to be ?Quote:

Are you one of those people who believes in the "we got nukes so we always right and if you disagree we'll bomb ya" !
