So suddenly this is a war of human rights?
Look, the last time Iraq tried to destabilize the region, they were soundly kicked in the ass by the coalition - and before that, when they tried to 'destabilize' the region, they were aided by us to kick Iran's ass
If they wanted to go out and fight their neighbors, fine, they'd get their ass handed to them by the rest of the world - but as we saw in the fighting early in the war, they're really in no position to do anything military wise without the threat of getting their own country absolutely messed up.
And let's be honest - before this war, how many of you even CARED about human rights under Saddam?
Probably none until it became a convenient card for supporting the war. I mean, some of these people are the same who say "fuck it and nuke em all." Certainly not on this board, but there is that sentiment out there that they don't really matter.
I just hate it when people are suddenly concerned about human rights under the regime when a few years ago before everything, no one cared - just as no one really cares about human rights issues in other nations such as China, N. Korea, or countries in Africa, until there is of cours a reason given to us to.
Going to the beach or doing our daily routine, this certainly doesn't matter
