OT:Iraqi War good/bad

[EvilGenius4ABetterTomorro]

Thank you troops, now we can continue to drive our heavy 4 wheel drive SUV's in the city.

Although I'm always for taking out bad guys, It is pretty shameful at the lucrative business contracts that were awarded to 1 particular company after the war...uhm I mean after the initial hostilities. On the other hand it is also shameful at what countries were behind this oil for food scam that was going on. And just how vocal those countries were against us. I guess all sides had an interest in Iraq. If my corruption riddled country had an evil dictator that kept the masses down, I would only hope that foreign power would take that dictator out. Hear that Canada? Come on down! I guess I'm just a fence walker, can't make up my mind.

what, did the Last flame thread get burried in the bottom of the stack? couldn't just bump one of those if you wanted to start a pissing match?

Hi all!
I really don't want to cut your thought short here but we already got quite a lot of threads about this topic and one should really be enough. Please be so kind and discuss the topic via E-Mail or via PM and let it rest here. Thank you very much!

People die in war. Get over it. The Allies in WW2 killed more people and caused more destruction than we have in Iraq. But that's okay, right? But completely wiping out German cities (and all men, women and children within them) in carpetbombing was alright so you don't have to be saying 'HEIL HITLER!' now, correct?

Or about the anti America demonstrations that are occuring every day in Iraq (The News in the Netherlands isn't censored, so I see that kind of pictures when I look at TV )

News agencies likes focusing on small, negative events as well as the minority. You don't make money for good news.

Which *gasp* was proven to really be a terrorist gathering with absolutely no proof to it being a wedding.

And offcourse don't forget the nice holiday pictures from an certain prison in Baghdad.....

And those few soldiers are being punished, but I suppose the terrorists kidnapping and executing civilians is much more acceptable to you.

And Yes I really think it is good that Saddam is gone, although it is a pity for Bush that the amount of weapons of mass destruction is ' zero '

Really? I suppose all those nerve agents and chemical weapons they've found in weapons Caches aren't really there. Or perhaps it is YOUR news that is censoring the truth to continue its anti-American line? That's a concept...
