Yeah, supporting this war and the absurd reasons behind it probably means that you care about Iraq...You should stop pretending that you do, that's not fooling anyone.
Well first and foremost, the reasons to go war can be debated about. They didn't have WMD's and that was a mistake but it was a MISTAKE. Everyone and their grandma thought Saddam had the weapons. He has had them in the past and used them on his own people. It was a legit reason to go war.
You didn't tell the Irakis any of that.
You have no clue about what the troops are actually doing in Iraq, do you? After reading this post it seems like you think our troops are riding through the cities, gun blazing and shooting at anything that moves. I guess you don't consider
flat out telling the Iraqi's that we were giving them freedom and safety and that we would help them rebuild their country so they can finally live some decent lives. I guess that doesn't count as telling them any of that. You are an idiot.
You told them that they had dangerous weapons that they don't have.
We
NEVER said the Iraqi people were the enemies. We said we were there to help them. The bad guys were Saddam and his loyalists. His regime is who we went after when we invaded. We were there to help the Iraqi's and get Saddam out of power for our good and for theirs. There is nothing wrong with that. We never said they had weapons. You need to get your facts straight.
You removed their tyrant and replaced it with complete chaos where innocent people die everyday for nothing, where the basics like food, water, a roof..., barely exist anymore.
First off, the country is in chaos but that's because we removed a government while trying to install a new democracy which relies on teamwork and the country uniting together. We thought they would unite and help fight for their freedom but they haven't. It's been a big let down. As for them not having food or water or anything like that...not true. We've improved their country in a TON of areas. Places like Baghdad are still bad because it is the center of the attacks but many of the areas outside of Baghdad and around Iraq have been rebuilt and are better than they were when we got there. Our troops (The Fightin' Seabees!) have built them schools and are actually using the water treatment plants they had set up. They had hundreds and hundreds of water treatment plants in Iraq but they NEVER used them. Saddam wouldn't fund them to use it. They are now up and running. So despite what you think you know, the country is actually better in some aspects. Right now there is chaos, specifically in Baghdad, but you have to fight through that.
Stop misusing the concepts of "democracy" and "freedom", you didn't bring the Irakis any of that, and they didn't ask you to either.
That's funny because I seem to remember the Iraqi's LOVING our troops when we first came in back in 2003. They loved us and they wanted us here. Now, if you ask them now most of them will say they want us gone because we have failed to deliver what we promised them we would. When we came in there we told them we'd oust Saddam and install a safe democracy. They would be free. We have yet to provide the security they thought they would have. They want freedom. They HATED Saddam. Do you really think they wanted to live under the opression of Saddam? No, they wanted freedom and they appreciated that we came to free them. However, things have gone south and they are frustrated with the lack of security. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Iraqi's are cowards. That's my take on it. They should be uniting and standing up to help free their country but most of them are scared and doing nothing. It's hard to rebuild a country and overturn a government when the will of the people isn't very strong. They were happy and they wanted freedom but it seems like they aren't willing to pay the cost to get it. That's my two cents.
Way to live in denial...
Right back atcha.
Not sure what dimension you live in, but the vast majority of the world doesn't give a shit about the US but does value peace and diplomacy.
If they care about peace then why in the world did they give Saddam a slap on the wrist for killing his own people? Why did they refuse to enforce the sanctions Saddam was breaking? Why did they refuse to extend the sanctions that were about to expire prior to the invasion? They did nothing. They didn't want to do anything. France and Russia were caught with their hands in the cookie jar illegally trading with Iraq. They were profiting from Saddam which is why they did not want him ousted. They didn't support the war because they were going to lose money with Saddam being de-throned, not because they valued peace and diplomacy.
hey precisely care enough for Irak to be against the senseless, continuous killing of its citizens and destruction of its infrastructures.
Yes, our troops are going around blowing away the Iraqi brains. You are an idiot. The civilians aren't being killed by U.S. troops. They are being killed by their own and our troops are simply caught in the crossfire. In some cases, our troops are the general targets. Our troops have STRICT (too strict) rules of engagement which favor the terrorists and inserguents. Our troops aren't killing as many innocent Iraqi's as you think they are and I find it disgusting that you think they are. You seem to have this idea in your mind that we are at war with Iraq. We are there to help Iraq and it's people. I don't care if you think we are there for oil (even though, like I said, all the oil money is going right back to the Iraqi's) but the fact of the matter is right now it's all about the Iraqi's. We are trying to help them out whether you admit it or not. I don't really care what you think because thank god you aren't in any kind of leadership role. You'd suck at it.
I'm not American, and you better believe that I'm against this stupid war.
Of course you aren't American, you don't have the gonads to be American.
So how exactly are you helping Iraq right now? By destroying its people's entire way of life and contributing to what will be the next generations of jihadists?
We were trying to help Iraq by ousting an evil dictator who had mass graves of his own people. A man who would rape and torture his own people everyday. You are so short-sighted.
Well, actually it's called common sense.
You have no common sense.
I'm presuming that you also don't read newspapers, web sites etc. as they all share the same bias you accuse televised newscasts of; in which case, I find it tough to believe you have the slightest clue of what you're talking about. Fact is, no matter where you're getting your information from, there's some sort of spin on it.
