OK, by your logic we should have invaded the USSR when Stalin was killing tens of millions.
I know this is a worn out response, but it is not our place to be the world’s policeman.
We cannot make a justification to take down one dictator, but then back away from another. Once you go down the road of “per-emptive” war, there is no end to it. Unless you can demonstrate a rock-solid case that a nation is a clear and immediate threat to our existence you have no business dragging the U.S. into a war ... particularly when the history of the belligerents involves Islam.
There has never been “good guys” in the Muslim world; there are none now, and there never will be. Islam is pure evil. All of its agents and practitioners are utterly corrupt barbarians. There is no “democratizing” them. They are, to the very last man, a depraved inbred - and therefore genetically devolving - race, having not even one virtuous quality. If you want to “fix” the ME, then nuke it out of existence - all of it. That is the only solution, because there will never be peace there - the genetic deformity of the inhabitants makes intelligence, reason, and good will an absolute impossibility.
That is a specious argument.
We could not have invaded the USSR. It would have started a war.
We did successfully invade Iraq and removed a vicious, murdering dictator.
I just heard from a Freeper whose son died there. To dismiss that war, which she believes was necessary, is to spit on brave soldiers who fought.
The cases are not the same. We know more about muslims now and wouldn’t do that again.
Oh, wait, Obama might.
Arguing about the Muslim world ... blah, blah, blah is pointless at this point in time.
I wonder what you thought then. Oh, I know.
Exactly the same as you do now.
Yeah, right.
