quote:re: american losses. i have heard the argument made that "unacceptable american or allied losses may occur in an invasion of iraq." i would say that such losses have already been incurred! even before september eleventh! we will be preventing more! furthermore, one starving, uneducated kurd watching his children tortured, his wife raped, and then being executed by having gasoline poured down his throat and being fed a match is already way too far for me to tolerate! this happens under saddam! do you support this? do you think we should INSPECT this? no! we have to stop this! soldiers in the united states army are volunteers. people in planes are not. if we could have realized this, somolia would not be a starving hell hole.
quote:Originally posted by lazygamer:Yes, it makes sense to attack Iraq. Just remember that no matter how much good the US does through some actions like toppling the Taliban or preventing nuclear BS from Iraq, they are still not the good guys.
quote:They have much corruption and evil at home, it's just not so blunt and widespread like in Iraq, it's also much harder to "hear about" because it's swept under the table so good.
quote:As for military losses, I feel this is a joke. The US military is a monster, Iraq is a 3rd world country(not to diss the US, but it seems strange that they never engage 1st world countries) who has been severely crippled by the US through military action and economic sanctions.
quote: The US didn't lose much in the gulf war. Im for an invasion, but they should finish the fucking job this time, totally kill off their shitty government and get a democracy in.
quote:I can tell you one thing, if Iraq would have invaded Canada instead of Kuwait I would have been the first one to come and help them out. And if a terrorist goes in and blows some shit up in Canada today I will be the first one to come to their aid if they want it.
quote:Originally posted by sporkme / bob:yes, the rhetoric pisses me off to...but that is what it takes to make stupid people agree with you; labeling someone a "historical terrorist" or a "defender of freedom" or saying something about "kitchen table issues" raises uneducated eyebrows... heheheheres the thing though...the iraqi government is being sneaky, just like they always have. inspectors will not be able to stop the brutal massacre of innocent people. inspectors will not be able to stop the proliferation of hate. inspectors will simply placate people that think "to hell with the kurds, as long as i feel safe" --and at the same time they will truly accomplish about as little as before.the only solution is to remove them from power. inspected or no, these are the same folks.so...WAR!! WAR!! KILL!! DESTORY!!errrrr wait a sec... what i meant to say was:SAVE THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ!! HOLD SADDAM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE MURDERS ("crimes against humanity" -worthless rhetoric) HE HAS COMMITTED!!
