I was against the terrorist elements who were put into power by our previuous administration. Obviously, this was done for political reasons. I don't think we should have been there because there was no National Security issue involved at the time. X42 did this to cover up his impeachable activities.
This issue is a National Security issue. As I've stated I don't like wars, but this issue is a National Security issue because Saddam has weapons of mass destruction. I know you don't want to believe that or anything about his human rights but the evidence is there, whether you want to believe it or not.
You continue to backtrack and say you're not a peacenik, but your profile page and all the postings here on thread seem to tell me otherwise. I think it's you who has the bugaboo, not me.
What I'd like for you to do is tell the thousands of iraqis who been tortured and punished for their opposition to Saddam right in their face what you have been saying here on this thread. You say you're not defending Hussien but your posts on this thread seem to indicate otherwise.
Iraq is a whole different ballgame. Like Zimbabwe political dissent is also punished but also WMD's which pose a threat to this country are being gathered up so this case is the most approaite for war.
The wars that happened during the Clinton administration were not for valid National Security purposes. They were timed to cover up the sleazy, unethical and impeachable actions that happened during that administration .
But you never saw that addressed didn't you. You know why? Because the only wars the anti-war crowd protest are wars initiated by Republican administrations.
So, the bottom line here is the people protesting the pending war with Iraq or many of them are only doing so because they don't like who's in the White House right now. If Clinto or a Democrat were in there, things might be different.
When all is said and done, the National Security problem will go away and the Iraqis will no longer live in fear of a brutal dictator. They will have a free and representative form of goverment running the country just like we do.
That should be something for every country to strive for, not some brutal dictator like Saddam who punishes political dissent.
Regards.
You still dont get it or understand. I abhor Saddam and wish him ousted, dead or alive. So long as he does not pose a threat to the American people AND to the Serbian people, or to anyone else for that matter.
I know he has tortured, maimed and killed innocent people for his personal agenda. I like to bring the hypocrasy up of some of the Administrations decision making. Where was this outcry when the Admin supported the known Terrorists/KLA in Kosovo and Bosna? You realize that the Jihad in Bosna are still operating with free impunity? I am sure some zealot SOC'ers know there 6 at all times, for their own safety.
