So blithe a dismissal.
So quick to condemn the US.
One country deliberately attempts to kill it's own citizens, and you question the legitimacy of the stories, and do not condemn them. The other makes no admission of breaking the "rules" and you condemn them, even though there is no proof that they are committing any atrocities in the first place.
Sometimes, you just support my arguement without realising, don't you.
Once again, the lessons learned from 1991 are forgotten by the anti-war protestors. Saddam is a war criminal, he just hasn't been tried for it yet. Unless you've forgotten the portrayal of POWs back then, and their torture...
As for killing one's own citizens they are numerous regimees current in America and Britain's graces who do just as much so how many wars do we fight if we are to prove that we really wish to bring liberation to the world? Shall we just engulf the world in renewed global conflict? would you feel secure then? :rolleyes:
Just as United Airlines are guilty of murdering 3,000 people in NYC? Or at least guilty by association...
I'm impressed. You managed to condemn the US again, without mentioning Saddism's crimes.
Classic.
American Airlines did not willingly recruit Al Qaeda operatives to fly on their planes or take control of them. The US/UK govt's DID actively recruit Saddam to fight their dirty war against Iran so once again, bad comparison and even more flawed logic.
Saddam;s crimes are no worse than many other regimes that are still enjoying US/UK support. Given that this whole issue was supposed to be about disarming Saddam of WMDs you seem to have completely fallen for the spin and to have forgotten just how craftily the issue was systematically blurred as each claim of our respective administrations was shown to be unconvincing. Now you fly to the last refuge of justification on moral grounds and yet even there you refuse to follow through consistently to the ultimate conclusion of such.
Meanwhile those who have systematically opposed this invasion on the grounds of what Bush and co really were intending this to be about and more importantly what is was to be for, have point by point been vindicated. But you and those like you will gladly turn a blind eye to those lies and hypocrisies.
I will truly be interested to see what you have to say when all the expectations of the aftermath for wonderful western styled democracy and freedom also fail to come to pass.
'Ere can you please post a list of regimes that are enjoying US/UK support?. I'm interested and would like to find out more if possible could you highlight the ones being supported by the UK? (I'm Brittish)
Cheers
That would be France and Russian, in the last decade, right?
How do you deal with Russians currently in Baghdad to instruct the Iraqi's as how to use the electronic warfare devices that have recently been deployed to them? Pat them on the back because they support resistence to the US, even though it means empowering Hussein?
If Satan himself got a hard-on concerning the US, you would genuflect at his feet...
Any approximate dates for any of these? and why weren't they raised in the media much/at all/ where they raised in the media at all?.
Welcoming heads of state doesn't really count as supporting imho :P
Is china really a regime? peopls republic my arse!
Anyone know of anymore?
The Chinese leader was given the red carpet treatment in London about two years ago, and commercial enterprises between Britain and China are flourishing.
Amnesty International describes Saudi Arabia's treatment of women, particularly foreign domestic workers, as "untenable" by any legal or moral standard.
I think I would want missiles etc if I had Saddam right next door too.... Dont know that much about China/Taiwan situation but this doesn't seem that bad to me.. (further enlighenment requiered)
Indonesia/Israel is more worrying though...
Ill try to get a more comprehensive list of current repressive regimes during the week when i can make some enquiries amongst colleagues.
It is one of the largest military standoffs in the world, each side has huge amounts of weaponry pointed at each other.
Furthermore China is well known for its human rights abuses, of dissident groups, seperatists and those they have subjugated such as the Tibetans......
