Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

Please do not misunderstand, the point I was trying to make, was that should civilians be killed during an announced war, they may not be victims, but civilian combatants. I certainly would protect my home and country.

As for the ability to throw off the oppression of Saddam, it is possible that enough people do not wish another government. When the Poles wanted freedom, many gave their lives and security to achieve it. The students in Tienamen Square knew what they were facing when they protested the government.

QBrigid Pehaps you should go ask that question to the people who are very very lucky to live in highland park Detroit Say the Woodward and Davison area. Or some of the fine mid town locations of Baltimore. Or perhaps even Flint Mich.

They have had to deal with large Groups of troops in their residential neighbourhoods, they have had to deal with a lack of freedom. For them it is not easy to move. Or those areas would not exist. And yes their is a war there it is the so called War on Drugs.
TS are you implying that all of the people living there have no choice? That a government has required that they remain there, working at a job that is chosen for them. I am not sure I understand you analogy.
