Thread Name: BS: Iraqi Sovereignty
Subject: RE: BS: Iraqi Sovereignty
Teribus...I think you know very well that I and many others were protesting against Saddam and other Middle Eastern tyrants,when the good old USofA were still using him as a hitman.
People with a revolutionary agenda were killed en masse in Saddams Iraq, so why should I support him.
Whether getting rid of Saddam will be a good thing for the West,is another question,and remains to be seen.Everyone can see the spectre of Islamic fundamentalism growing all over Iraq since the fall of Saddams regime.The real threat to the West was I.F. not Saddam.
Greg..Although Saddams' gassing of the Kurds is completely indefensible,I dont see a lot of difference in the coalition killing innocent women and children in Falluja,as they both try to justify their actions in the same way.
Regarding sovereignty,surely you are not all so naive as to think America has invested so much money and young lives,simply to walk away. Im afraid our leaders are much more subtle and devious than many of you seem to think...Ake
