What_lag: you are so misinformed is scary.
People need to quit being herded by the biased media and learn to read and reason on their own. The media is twisted to the far left, therefore they will never show you things down the middle because that doesn't sell.
Exactly HOW is Bush a "villain"? Explain your thought process on that.
Exactly HOW is Saddam NOT?
How many people has BUSH killed with his own hands?
How is the world BETTER off WITH Saddam than with Bush?
How come when Bush did what his advisers TOLD him to, i.e. they have WMD's so let's go after them, he has to take all the blame YET when he learned his lesson and is trying to FINISH a job HIS FATHER and BILL no balls CLINTON didn't finish W/O the backing of those same "advisers" who now are merely trying to do "damage control" for THEIR initial screw up......suddenly BUSH is the bad guy??? What would any of YOU do if YOUR buddy told you something that ended up being a lie? Would you listen to him again? Would you do what he wanted you to do again? Why should the President do any different?
Bottomline is that WMD's or not, Saddam not only violated the surrender treaty HE signed when we were kicking his ass back in 91, but he also violated a million other HUMAN RIGHTS thoroughout his decades of terror on not only his own people but neighboring countries. What purpose does someone like that serve? Why shouldn't he be dethroned? Do you think he would've gone quietly??? It's obvious you and many others don't know HOW Saddam came to power......well, he not only murdered his opposition, but also betrayed even his own family members to get to the top.
So if you have even an ounce of common sense, you would know the answer to this question rather easily. There is no comparison between the two.

But on the real, how many of ya'll have had friends die in this war, I have had three. Its not cool, but I have many other friends in the army, who dont agree with the war either. There are other groups fighting in Iraqi because they want independence. Also in Sadams later years as President he only had control of 2/3 of his country, the rest were rebeling against him.
also i think it was bout 2001 when all the people wanted to go to war,it reminded me of what happened when everyone wanted to go to war in vietnam.
When did I say Sadam wasnt a villain. also you dont have to kill people to be a villain.Quote:

Personally I think we should have stayed in Afghanistan and obliterated Al-qaeda before invading any other country that sponsored terrorism. (not that there's proof available to the public that Iraq was indeed a breeding ground for terrorists)
Buddy how old are you, and what possible have you been through. I dont get shit from mtv nor do i believe in mtv. And for most people all get their facts from pretty much the same places, they just might not retain it the same way.Quote:

THE FUCKING DEATHS BECAUSE OF THIS WAR SUPER-EXCEED ANYTHING THAT SADDAM HAS AND COULD HAVE DONE.
also Bush hates black people......................LOL

Just exactly what part of that definition fits Bush? In turn, does #1 not fit Saddam like a glove? So again, I don't think you realize what the true definition of what you're asking is.
I think you don't agree with the war. That is perfectly fine and acceptable, but what you really should ask yourself is not so much WHY we went to war with Iraq as much as HOW the U.S. and the rest of the world (a world that was too coward to make Saddam abide by the rules yet now will benefit from US doing it) will be better off w/o this guy.
BTW, your friends have to understand that when they enlisted in the Armed Forces their Commander-in-Chief is the President. Like it or not, that's the chain of command. If he says fight, you fight. So if they're not happy doing what their superiors tell them to, they certainly got into the wrong line of work. With that said, I still respect every enlisted person for doing something a lot of us choose not to do.
Do ya think?!Quote:
