Actually, there is the million member Baath party that loves Saddam and is likely to face equal rape, torture, or death when he leaves power.
Geist, I do think of the civilians, and I am of the opinion that Saddam should be in the Hague right now, facing charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, however, this is not the right way to do it.
The United States is the only remaining superpower in the world, and how it does things is usually more important than what it does.
Example: We're going after a corrupt regime, one that tortures, rapes, and murders its own people, and has attempted the invasion of a sovereign neighbor.
Now, see how we're doing it:
1) Ignoring the UN Security Council despite obvious opposition.
2) Not consulting with our allies.
3) Citing UN resolutions to back an assault that is not specifically backed by UN resolutions.
These are the reasons I don't support it. Had Bush done what every other president of the US since 1940 has done and told our allies what we were doing, gone abroad and sold the war, gotten support before the war instead of just barging in and expecting everyone to be behind him, I wouldn't support it (pacifist you know), but I wouldn't be citing an opinion on this thread.
It is important to take care of Saddam, but it's more important that we realize our role in the world and act accordingly. -----------------------

I have a feeling I'm glad I ignored this post after I pasted those emails I got. Well, here's another. Pardon the formatting. I'm not going to retype it. :P
Dennis Miller's comments regarding the Iraq issue
---------------------------------------------------
ALL THE RHETORIC ON WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD GO TO WAR
AGAINST IRAQ HAS GOT MY INSANE LITTLE BRAIN SPINNING
LIKE A ROULETTE WHEEL. I ENJOY READING OPINIONS FROM
BOTH SIDES, BUT I HAVE DETECTED A HINT OF CONFUSION FROM
SOME OF YOU. AS I WAS READING THE PAPER RECENTLY, I
WAS REMINDED OF THE BEST ADVICE SOMEONE EVER GAVE ME.
HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE KISS METHOD (KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID!).
SO, WITH THIS AS A THEME, I'D LIKE TO APPLY THIS
THEORY FOR THOSE WHO DON'T QUITE GET IT. MY HOPE IS
THAT WE CAN SIMPLIFY THINGS A BIT AND RECOGNIZE A FEW
IMPORTANT FACTS.
HERE ARE 10 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN VOICING AN OPINION
ON THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE:
1) BETWEEN PRESIDENT BUSH AND SADDAM HUSSEIN...
HUSSEIN IS THE BAD GUY.
2) IF YOU HAVE FAITH IN THE UNITED NATIONS TO DO THE
RIGHT THING, KEEP THIS IN MIND: THEY HAVE LIBYA
HEADING THE COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND IRAQ
HEADING THE GLOBAL DISARMAMENT COMMITTEE. DO YOUR
OWN MATH HERE.
3) IF YOU USE GOOGLE SEARCH AND TYPE IN "FRENCH
MILITARY VICTORIES," YOUR REPLY WILL BE:
"DID YOU MEAN FRENCH MILITARY DEFEATS?"
4) IF YOUR ONLY ANTI-WAR SLOGAN IS "NO WAR FOR OIL,"
SUE YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR ALLOWING YOU TO
SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS AND ROBBING YOU OF THE
EDUCATION YOU DESERVE.
5) SADDAM AND BIN LADEN WILL NOT SEEK UNITED NATIONS
APPROVAL BEFORE THEY TRY TO KILL US.
6) DESPITE COMMON BELIEF, MARTIN SHEEN IS NOT THE
PRESIDENT. HE ONLY PLAYS ONE ON TV.
7) EVEN IF YOU ARE ANTI-WAR, YOU ARE STILL AN
"INFIDEL" AND BIN LADEN WANTS YOU DEAD, TOO.
8)IF YOU BELIEVE IN A "VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY,"
BUT NOT IN THE DANGER THAT HUSSEIN POSES, QUIT
HANGING OUT WITH THE DELL COMPUTER DUDE.
9) WE ARE TRYING TO LIBERATE THEM. HE IS TRYING TO
KILL US.
10) WHETHER YOU ARE FOR MILITARY ACTION OR AGAINST IT,
OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OVERSEAS ARE FIGHTING FOR
US TO DEFEND OUR RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT. WE ALL
NEED TO SUPPORT THEM WITHOUT RESERVATION -----------------------

"1) Ignoring the UN Security Council despite obvious opposition."
The U.N. did NOT tell the U.S. not to attack Iraq. It didn't even vote on Bush's resolution. France threatened to veto, so Bush withdrew the proposal BEFORE a vote. Therefore, we are not going against the U.N.
"2) Not consulting with our allies."
I recall hearing that 40 some countries were helping the U.S. The British are even fighting alongside of us. Kuwait is letting us use there military bases. Turkey is allowing over-flight. That proves we DO have allies supporting us.
"3) Citing UN resolutions to back an assault that is not specifically backed by UN resolutions."
This you do have some point with. However, the resolution that ordered Iraq to disarm (was it 1440? 1441?) threatened dire consequesces if Iraq didn't.
There's a nice song out now, though I can't remember the artist. It's called "Have You Forgotten." You can download it (kazaa is nice - kazaa.com if you want the site), our tune in to your local country radio station and they'll probably play it sooner or later.

The French were at Americas beck and call to defend the world against Communist aggression in South East Asia, way back in the 60's.
The French are currently fighting a very exciting war against a rebellion in the Ivory Coast.
The Free French liberated Paris a day before the US Army turned up (WW2), using limited weapons and equipment. Paris was, tactically, a vital target for the US Army - by taking it, they could prove they were doing their jobs properly. But the French got there first.
French beer beats American beer any day of the week.
The French Foreign Legion, and small elements of the Regular French Army, were 100 miles into Iraq during Gulf War 1, before the rest of the coalition even had ground attack plans for the liberation of Kuwait.
The French like Bush more than the Americans do. Think about it...
The French dominated more of Europe than Hitler, under Napoleons guidance. They became the only army to capture Moscow (after it had been burnt to the ground, natch). Can anyone else claim that?
Napoleans democratic system has left traits in virtually every democratic system in the world, particularly one: the Americans (unfortuently, they didn't teach them how to mark the ballot paper. then they really WOULD have done something worthwhile).
The French Army has seen more action (and hence "more fun") than any Western European Army, except the British, and more than the Americans.
When British nationals in unsafe countries are evacuated, they are given a chauffeur and a car. Americans are given rides in commandeered armoured cars. The French Government send in their Concorde Fleet (for those of you who don't know, Concorde is the world fastest (and most expensive) passenger aircraft.. I'd prefer that to a cold Chinook going over enemy held jungle).
To reiterate this point: French beer. American beer. Sorry, but there really is no contest.
As you can see, the French are not completely useless. |

P.S.
If you had just been found by American troops, armed to the teeth, and known to hold civilians in a camp outside US soil for years without trial, would you really say..
"Saddam? He's an alright chap, actually.."

Of course, we should learn something from history here. I'm only an armchair general, but remember this:
The Germans got to the gates of Moscow, and the end of Russia at the Volga (Stalingrad) before they were encircled and pushed back. Their army was smaller, but far better equipped than the Russians, and had higher morale.
The Russians then swooped in and executed large numbers of Russian German-supporters in previously German held territoy.
Like I said, just an armchair general..
But does nobody wonder just where on earth Saddam Husseins army actually IS? 500 troops holding a city doesn't exactly seem like an awful lot.. |

You know, I've got to agree with Bear, no matter how much you insult the French, they fought longer and harder against the Germans in both World Wars than anyone else.
Also, Napoleon reigns supreme as the unmatched, greatest general of all times, no one else has done so much with the comparative amounts of troops that he has (aside from possibly a few Chinese generals in ancient times, I've heard some pretty funky tactics being used there).
Anyways, to respond to Chipmunk.
1) The UN Security Council, no matter how you throw the bag over the head, did not support open war. If they had, Bush would have pushed the resolution through, let the French veto it, and claim security council support. The fact that he didn't do this shows that he did not have enough support, and that the UN is generally opposed to this war.
2) Yes, and out of those forty countries, I've heard that Colombia didn't even know it was on the list. Strange isn't it?
3) Yes, but "serious consequences" was a phrase inserted so that the Security Council could go back and decided what "serious consequences" were once they decided Iraq had breached it, not an automatic trigger for action.
Anyways, I'm not even going to comment on Talons' article, that sort of "shut your mouth and obey" thing makes me wonder how long we're going to remain a free society, and how long we're actually going to be a better country than Iraq.
BTW, go Bear!!  -----------------------

Ok so I took this complex code...
"and i dont kno what crackhead you been talking to kerji, but nobody i kno would say france owns us Jack"
... translated it into English....
"And I don't know what crackhead you have been talking to Kjerri, but nobody I know would say that France owes us anything."
Well thanks Snipes for calling Rumsfield and a few other US officials is a crackhead. Also, I suggest before you insult people who are English, that note they are allies in the war against Terrorism and even the Iraq war. If you want to be a child, by all means, but please... listen to Fury's post and stop the insults, it offends people even if you didn't mean it, and I'm not even English! I'm going to pretend I didn't see anything threatening so I won't comment on that part.
This may be the internet, but this is a controlled environment, run like a military dictatorship in a fantasy storyline. And when there is a highly organized organization running, there are superiors and rules. This isnt just the internet, its an organized portion of it.
And on my edit, I forgot to mention this quote here... "speacial ed kids". Never, and I mean NEVER, tie a set of words like that to anyone, its not funny. I am sorry Bear for this, I hope snipes comes to his senses soon.
What do they teach kids these days in American schools?!

I refer everyone to the topic of a post.. "Stop the Personal Attacks" I don't care what the body of the post is.. just the topic should work fine here. Insult anyone again and you will find yourself on the pain end of my Might Smiting Stick™
And the "special ed" part isn't funny. I know some handicapped people and if you ever say something like that in front of me (by that, I mean offline) and it's not in reference to yourself, I will deck you. It's not right to make fun of things that people can't help. They deserve as much respect as anyone, and more than you do.
If this seems out of context or something, please forgive me. I haven't read all of them. I'm getting tired of Lounge posts again and skip most of them. -----------------------

Nope Tal, it's not out of context, you hit it right on the nose.
Kjerri, I can't help agreeing with you over and over again, great work man
Snipes, I'm going to point out a few things. Keep in mind, I live in Northern California, a place as isolated and conservative as North Idaho.
1) Disagreeing with someone by no means gives you the right to insult them personally. You may insult their opinion with all the logical grounds you can find against it, but once you take it to their person, you turn it into a childish attack that is no longer worth the effort it took to write it.
2) Bear is not English, he's Scottish. And yes, there is a difference, talk to Scotsman someday and you'll find out pretty quickly. (Geography lesson, for those who don't know, Scotland is the far northern part of the main British Isle, I believe it's actually just north of Northubria).
3) Grammar is an important part of communication. First off, it shows the listener that we are knowledgable and can present our arguments in a fashion that they can understand. Second off, it allows them to make sense of what you are saying. Thirdly, it shows respect to the person you're talking to, an important thing if you're trying to convince them of your opinion.
4) Do not threaten anyone on this comnet. No matter what they say here, it can have no bearing on your real life unless you are that obsessive. Threatening someone is the lowest level you can stoop to, showing that you are not adult enough to have a valid opinion.
5) Special Ed Kids are not on this comnet (to my knowledge), insulting someone's intelligence falls under the first thing I adressed.
Anyways, I hope I've put forward the ideas everyone is experiencing in response to this post, so let's try to move on and forget it happened. Hopefully, it won't happen again.

Snipes, southern californians are generally liberal... And trust me, Idaho has a reputation for being conservative  I appologize if you aren't, but that's the impression I got from your last post. Anyways, I'm just going to say that that's all in the past now, and we should just let it drop. -----------------------

Yeah, Riel's right. BTW, Snipes, those activities you described of Southern Californians are considered liberal...
Anyways, let's all try to leave this behind. We all have a right to free speech until we try to intrude on someone elses' right of free speech. Let's try to keep that sort of attitude, and we'll be fine. -----------------------

Well, I lived in Northern Idaho for a time, and I can assure you that the area where I live was almost 100% Conservative. That was in the early part of the 1990s, but I can't believe they would have shifted their political views in that time.
And if you want to know EXACTLY where, it was a little town named Gifford. Nearby towns were Lenore, Culdesac, and Orofeno. -----------------------

I'm going to ignore the war part of this thread and just comment on the conduct. I'm going to share a lesson with you that my math teacher taught me. I don't have the wording exactly right, but, "People who swear swear because they are adjective deficient." Thank you Will Gerard. |

That is true, but I feel that most of the time curse words are taken with a stronger meaning. I do think that Gerard was right, though. -----------------------

I don't know. Sometimes swearing can be useful in language to support a point. However, never in a debate. If you're giving a speech, swearing at a specific point could show your passion or regain the interest of the audience (wanna test that? Insert the word 'penis' at random points in a speech. We really are sick enough to be drawn to it...). However, in a debate where there's really nothing more than your own opinion on the line, and you're debating people you know, there's no point. Just use more descriptive adjectives (like 'calipagus') if you have to say something. -----------------------
