Oh, if you say so. For everyone else, a crazed tyrant using his government’s funds to reward and encourage acts of terror is a horrendous act of despotism. Not ‘significant’? Maybe if you don’t mind the thought of your fellow citizens being blown to smithereens for nothing more than sitting down for a meal.
Can you re-read the article BRUCE? where does it say he was paying people to commit suicide acts on AMERICANS? Israelis are not my fellow citizens. Do you know the difference? Can you tell the difference?
Is there a difference to you? Or is this just part of you trying to win the debate?
Are Israleis AMERICAN citizens? yes or no?
If you have ever seen a map of the World, you may notice that Israel is far more proximate to Iraq than the mighty US. With further investigation, you may even find out they’re one of the US’s closest allies. Add to this Saddam’s harbouring of the bomb artist from WTC 1993 and your argument evaporates as quickly as your common sense has.
Are you saying we should go to war with anyone who harbors a person who has killed American citizens? We should go an invade then all right now shouldn't we? (classic fear based alarmist thinking that leads to fascism and or dictatorships)
Is one fucking bomb artist worth 400 billion and 3000 lives and 20K wounded? fuck no. But obviously it is to a war monger fear based alarmist who's looking for any reason to justify their killing.
That's where your argue goes no where. Explain to me how's it's worth all that. Fact is, it's a candy ass reason to go an invade a country and it wasn't even the reason to begin with. You can run around all day long talking about how bad this Abu is but won't mean jack shit. all this for one terrorists? What a stupid argument. You are better than than that BRUCE.
We don’t commit massive amounts of resources to the above mentioned already? Allow me to explain the difference. A person that dies from cancer in America does so in one of the World’s finest medical systems. They die as a free person from something that is most likely an indiscriminate disease. And it’s pseudo-logic at its best if your position is that we shouldn’t stop terrorists from killing our innocent because we’re not doing quite enough about ahem, shark attacks.
How about you go ask a doctor who is involved in the research to cure cancer how much 400 billion would have help their cuase. Warren buffet just donated 40 billion to charities. He could have built 40 state of the art NFL football stadiums with that money. But what do we have? we have a couple dozen deaths from this ABU we have avenged! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Try again BRUCE.
Actually, as my post illustrated to you, he’s been integral in the terror driven deaths of far more than six Americans. Again, your tendency to downplay your fellow citizens being dismembered by explosives is worrying, to say the least. Does it occur to you that if Saddam would be seen to support such men, that he would certainly use more powerful weapons given the chance? Or are you foolish enough to believe he had no intention of killing, or supporting the killing, of more Americans?
Of course he'd love to kill a few Americans....ONLY IF, it would mean he could retain his power.
Explain to me BRUCE how he could have retained his power if he launched some sort of attack on the USA?
EXPLAIN IT BRUCE.
No way in hell. Therefore he wouldn't have done it. You see, he's like us, He's a capitalist. Not like Osama, who's a religious nut.
An American in the WTC 1993 that is dismembered by explosives dies as a person that is a victim of that very freedom. They are annihilated by those that would seek to strip you and I of every right we have to coexist in this World – something you seem oddly comfortable with. On top of this, Saddam Hussein supported these people with finance and safe housing.
Why would i be comfortable with that? Other then you trying to put words in my mouth? Of course i'm not comfortable with that..... but i'm smart enough to know BULL SHIT when i see it. The reasons for the Iraq invasion was BULL SHIT. Are you smart enough to see that? Guess not. WE would have been more prudent to establish permanent bases in Afghanistan and watch Iran closely ready to act when needed. Now we are a little over extended. BRILLIANT!
face facts BRUCE Saddam wasn't and isn't the only one. fact is, he was probably harboring less than syria, iran, pakistan, and saudi arabia. But go on believing we were prudent in invading him based on those reasons of harboring terrorists.
Your seemingly strong inclination to defend Saddam as a mere ‘mobster’ is sickening. No mobster that I know of has ever had the means to use WMD to kill thousands of his fellow citizens. Saddam was a villainous despot, and your casual brushing off of his evil ways speaks wonders of your character.
You mean Mobsters don;t go killing fellow italians who threaten there power? HAHAHAHA BRUCE go watch Good fellas, God Father, watch some documentaries on the MOB and perhaps you'll wake up from your fear based dream.
You’ll no doubt be able to point out the last time Israel or (cough) the Vatican was involved in the cold blooded murder of Americans. If not, what an outrageously idiotic thing to say.
i was being sarcastic. And who knows, Rumor is the vatican help quite a few Nazi's escape in WW2. we should invade shouldn't we?
