On the anniversary of the Iraq war the question begs to be asked.
 
Yes. Does that justify our actions in Iraq? No.Its not our job to overthrow foreign nations leaders.
 
(shrug)...not to the extent that it makes the invasion of Iraq justified.
 
The world is a better place now because we don't have GWB in the whitehouse lying us into more wars and driving this country to the brink of economic and moral bankruptcy. The Iraq war has nothing to do with it.
 
Silly question. Of course the world is a better place. It will also be a better when Charles Manson dies, too. :roll:
 
There can be no question that a world without Saddam, Uday and whasisface (other son) is unquestionably a brighter place to some significant degree.


It is simply inarguable that he was a rotten bastard, a horrifically tyrannical despot, and at least a potential threat to the security of his neighbors. Not to mention genocidal towards the Kurds.


Whether the war itself was worth it is going to depend on larger issues, though... issues that will not be easily answered today, this year, or next year. The question will be whether something better than Saddam grows to fill that hole left in his absence.

I hope it will be so. We'll see, over time.
 
yes , the world has no problem without Saddam who was left wing friend.

but l wish serbian rapists were executed too
 
Yes but thanks to Obama we have and interest in a stabalized middle east.

Dont know what that means or exactly what your trying to say. If your trying to say that Iraq is stable i would say its not. Its nowhere near stable.
 
Yes, when it's done by force, and not choice...

Do you remember the Iraqis coming out of the voting booths with their fingers stained with ink showing that for the first time in modern history they voted to elect their leaders? I saw a very proud and happy people that day that had nothing to do with nation building..

Had U.S. Forces not been involved, those elections may never have taken place. How many bombings occurred in and around Baghdad today?

I am saying its much more stable then when we went in and has a government although shakey And he and his sons are no longer raping teen age girls.

They would have never happened and I don't know how many bombings there were toay....suppose you tell me.
 
I think Qusay (sp?) only watched. He was "the smart one," wasn't he? The one who didn't torture Olympic athletes?

l am not a fan of saddam or uday but l dont think they were like Ratko miladiç..

No its not stable no where near stable. Its categorized as a failed state. It still suffers sectarian violence and some say the civil war is still going on to this day. When Saddam was in power not a single terrorist attack happened in Iraq today its averaging one a day.

You will have to show me your links........Not sure I agree.
 
"Car bombs and roadside blasts have killed at least 56 people and hundreds injured across the Iraqi capital Baghdad and elsewhere, police and hospital sources have said.

Security forces stepped up searches at checkpoints after the attack on Tuesday, closing off key roads and worsening the capital's morning gridlock, a reporter for the AFP news agency said.


Co-ordinated attacks targeted markets, restaurants, bus stops and day labourers during the morning rush hour

Along with 56 killed, over 200 people were wounded in the attacks on the 10th anniversary of the US-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein.

Al Jazeera's Jane Arraf, reporting from Baghdad, also said a suicide bomber has detonated his vest in a restaurant near Mosul.

At least ten car bombs, including two detonated by suicide bombers, one roadside bomb and two gun attacks struck in and around the Iraqi capital during the morning rush hour on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the US-led invasion... "

A veritable jewel of democracy.

I know, lets ask Iraq's Mandaean population...oh wait, we can't...they were exterminated after we liberated them.
