1. Still dodging the original question. I asked how you'd feel about that possibility as that is what
the United States did to Iraq. You ran from the premise.
I accepted your premise, but there is nothign to say, as no nation would have done that, and if they did, then the world wold be a truly fucked up place as no nation would have been able to stand up to the communists and you problably wouldnt have the freedom to complain about what ever nation would have conqured north America for a glorious communist regime.
2. "Mired in the past"? Yeah, yesterday was a real iron clad bitch. Tomorrow looks like more of the same.
Nice bitter attitude you got.
3. Germans.... Nuremberg.... Tell me, when was the last time a caucasian stood in the dock for killing an American native
or taking away their language, or ..... you've probably stopped reading already.
What about the Natives that waged war, killed, raped and tortured other natives? You are making it sound like America was utopia before Europeans came. Dont forget, the the tribes that were slaughtered to extinction BEFORE white man showed up. Are you complaining about that too, or just the white man? Why did so many tribes join with the settles AGAINST other tribes? Whites were acting JUST like the natives and vice versa. Does it make it right? Not at all, and today we know better.
4. Wage war on his terms" The Republicans didn't seem bothered by this when the Iran / Iraq war was going on. What changed?
The world is complex. We also didnt seem to concered with Stalin when we were fighting the nazis, does this make America evil?
5. Saved whose lives? Not citizens of the United States. I worked with an Iraqi in the 80's, who's job it was
during the aforementioned conflict, to crawl into the desert at night with a one meter metal rod to find Iranian
land mines. His personal view? Vote against any and all Republicans he could find after getting citizenship.
Save Iraqi lives. Saddam killed on average 100.000 people per year of his reign. The year the big bad Americans waged war less then 5000 people were killed. So why was the year that there was a war the safest in recent Iraqi history? And thats wonderful your friend gets to vote agains who he doesnt like. Pretty soon that right will be extended to Iraqis. And even if they doent like Rebublicans, they can thank them for that right.
6. Al Quida is not a governmental organization. They did not attempt a coup in the 'stan. They have not tried
to overthrow the Saud family. What G-2 do you possess that is not available to the CIA, NSA, DIA, etc, etc, etc?
You dont think Al Queda is in Iraq now? You dont think they would love it if America pulled out? You dont think they will take advantage? They dont take over Afganistan or Saudi cause the military, abandon Iraq, and that another story.
