Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
The point is that a major part of the girl's "argument" is that war will cause deaths. A few people will die, sure. But, many more will die if Saddam Hussein is left in power. Many have died from Saddam being in power. The only way to end the madness is to remove him from power. Leaving him in power will not solve any problems. The only way to help the Iraqi people is to remove Saddam. The girl was unable to address this, and many, many people that oppose the war make the same mistakes as her. Appeal to international law, negotiation, all of that stuff has failed repeatedly in the past to help the Iraqi people. You can not peacefully arrest the leader of another nation. All you can do is try to get them to act differently. This has failed repeatedly with Saddam. Do you think we should leave the guy in power so he can commit more atrocities against the Iraqi people?
