Why do you think you're smart? Dummy.

ZugZug said:Hell yeah, it was a war for oil. Oil is really damned important.
It was also a war against terrorism, a war against an evil dictator who had and was trying to get more weapons to kill us and our friends, and it was a war of liberation for the Iraqi people.
We won. Buck up and enjoy it.

angel's starting out like ass again.....A's pitching is just nasty gl with that.Marweas said:Going to bring Tristan to see the M's beat the A's tomorrow. It'll be tough - we were an Orange County family once so we had a lot of love for the Angels.

"wah it doesn't fit my world view - you guys killed people"
Fuck up. Even if the coalition forces inadvertedly killed 2 or 3 THOUSAND (which I doubt) civillians, it's probably less than Saddam's score for a year. Liberating 8 million people as well as the future generations is worth every drop of blood spilled.
Go ask THEM. I bet you'll get a similar answer.
Marweas said:That's the point, I don't give a crap what foreigners think our country should do for them.
Geck0 said:Then perhaps the US should have handed you back to the KGB when you got out of the USSR?
Marweas said:We did something about the situation we were in, and didn't sit around waiting for the US to "liberate" us. We didn't require a penny of government support when we arrived and have become productive (contributing to the tax base) members of society.
If you can't see the difference between helping people who come to your country and invading another country to help people, then we probably cannot have an intelligent discussion on the matter.

agreed alex. but was the average russian in the same financial situation the average iraqi or afgani is in? Not to downplay your strife or anything but would you say you had it a bit better....hmm maybe a bit easier is the word im looking for than the average iraqi? Easier in terms of picking up and leaving.Marweas said:If you can't see the difference between helping people who come to your country and invading another country to help people, then we probably cannot have an intelligent discussion on the matter.
I supported us going into Kosovo, even though I didn't like Clinton.Kizzak said:If people are your concern, time for you to start a crusade for invading the Congo, yesterday there was some news that 1000 people were massacred in under 3 hours with guns and machetes. A question, did you support the UN/US' involvement in Rwanda? How about our involvement in Kosovo? The problem I have with people ever giving humanitarianism as a reason for entering a country militarily is because then they will turn around (or have previously in this case) opposed the exact same, or even worse thing. If you stay consistent, then your opinion is at least respectable, unlike a political whore who changes his opinion based on what party or political idealogy wants to complete the certain goal.
