If nothing else he murderd 300,000 of his own people and was directly responsible for the deaths of over a million more.

I really love the holier than thou crowd on this board (Pana, Bam, Ziler, Trew) that can so easily turn a blind eye to the inhuman treatment of the Iraqi people by The Sadam regime over the course of 30 + years. Give me a fucking break.


I just noticed these comments as I was re-reading this threat.

Great, we led a holy crusade to overthrow a ruthless dictator who treated his people inhumanely.


1 Down, about 20 more to go.

If that was the SOLE cause for this war, and believe me, it wasn't, why are we not invading other countries on our righteous crusade?

Why are we not in Iran, North Korea, Cambodia, etc. etc. then?

I have more beef with how Brush brought the war about & the handling of the war than I actually do with the war itself.

I guess you can question my "support for the troops" but, I guess I could say, what better way to support our troops then to want them out of harms way?

Bush lied for his war, and he got it. Halliburton is now laughing all the way to the bank. Iraq has more terrorists in it now than it did before we invaded. Now, close to 500 troops have died in Iraq, and Bush hasn't even had the time to pay respect to the casualties and their families? But yet, he has time to go to RNC fundraisers?

Give me a fucking break.

=============================

And, Carri, let me explain my actual position.

I'm not a racist. I do, like most people, enjoy a racist joke as much as the next guy, but that's fun and games among friends.

When I make racist comments on these boards, it's usually just for a rise out of people. (As the great 13 century philsopher, Eminem, once scribed, "I love pissing people off, it gets me off"). If you look subtly at the messages, you'll see I'm usually poking fun at American biggots who are too close-minded to see the whole picture.

I truly do think it's wrong what we're doing in Iraq. I don't like Bush, and I'm deeply progressive (or a communist if you want to be a dick about things, right?).
