At least GuidoHunter has the guts to admit what he believes in. I vehemently disagree with it because I believe ot can only end in tyranny, but at least he's willing to stand up and say it.
Yes, Saddam was a fuckhole. Nobody is denying that. I talked to a girl that lived in Iraq once, and she told me that teenage girls walking down the street were abducted for Saddam's sons to be raped, tortured and killed by those psychopaths. If you even glanced at Saddam's palaces, you could be killed on the spot. I was wrong about Baghdad being a decent place, I was looking too far back in history.
The thing is though, Iraq was safer before the war. Now it's very, very dangerous. People can be arrested by US soldiers, declared enemy combatants, and sent to israel for "interrogation."
The reason for this war was not to oust Saddam Hussein, it was to stop him from using his large cache of weapons of mass destruciton against the United States. Now, there appears to be no weapons. If the original declared intention of the war, was to end Saddam's dictatorship, this argument would be a lot shorter.
If the US is against dictatorships, why aren't they hostile towards Saudi Arabia? Why don't they take out Arafat and invade Palestine? Cuba? Venezuela? Zimbabwe? Belarus? Turkmenistan? Myanmar? Uzbekistan? Pakistan? China?
Their foreign policy is inconsistent. It begs us to ask why.
