"THE kurds like having the US around,he saved them from death and deadly gas" at saddam's trial the massacre of the kurds in 1982 was brought up,the US new all about it,and continued to back saddam,do you remember rumsfield going to iraq and shaking saddams hand ? that was in 1984,the war in iraq wasnt for the benefit of the iraqi people,it was for control of iraqi oil.
"i dont watch CNN its a left wingthink tank for socialists who have an agenda" LOL i wonder where YOU get your right-wing propaganda from ?
Surely even you Red can see the difference between the struggle in South africa and the war in Iraq ? or maybe not :thumbdown:
I was just listening to NPR, and there was a pundit/journalist, a Greek-national-Christian, from Nazareth, who stated that it's largely because of America's racist and colonial initiatives, in the Middle East, that there is the crisis we're witnessing today...the radical Islamic backlash is due, in part, to America's hegemony, in relation to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the region. There was no concerted effort amongst the warring factions, until they found commonality in their struggle against US meddling, and enterprise.
Hell, if I were a foreign country, I'd resent the US meddling in my affairs.
These people don't want a western style democracy, but the US is intent on forcing it down their throats, whether they want it or not...that is wrong, bordering on evil. Instead of a live and let live policy, we have a kill and conquer policy...and real Americans ought to stand up to this corrupt regime of a government and just say "enough". The America that they want to export, nobody wants....who would, today???? Not me.
