Re: Confessions
Funny because I saw plenty of WMD's, but thats beside the point as every country has WMD's. Saying we were defending our allies in the first one is just as wrong as saying we went in for WMD's in this one. In other words it's just another excuse to send troops in no matter.
Yes, we do have a tendency to use war rhetoric, but we still haven't officially declared war on anyone since WWII. Of course neither have any other countries.
You saw plenty of WMD's? Why hasn't this been reported to the media? No offence to you, but I'm pretty sure that if the States actually found WMD's down there then good ol George wouldn't be getting nailed to the wall for
not finding them.
I gotta say, most "wars" the US have waged I agree with. War is bad, tough shit, but someone has to do it to keep people safe. What really pisses me off is people who blame the soldiers for the war. Yes, some soldiers do sick deprived and sadistic things in war, but it's not the soldiers who decide they're getting shipped. They do the job they're expected to do, and in return they expect that the jobs they are sent to do are well thought out and morally straight.
I do, however, have a problem with the Iraq war. Not just because of the States, but because over a period of 40 years, the entire West, led by America, completely and totally fucked Iraq so far up the ass they were spitting shit down there.
I kinda see why they invaded, because if I was an Iraq citizen then I would most likely hate the west. But for Christs sake, then you invade take out what little remaining infrastructure there is, and pull back to let "Free-market-powers" Fix everything? What market? Mr. Abdullah's bombed car repair was the only thing left that could possibly run an economy. I liked how they took Bagdahd though few casualties (total), nice tactics, good work.
Anyways, It's good that Obama is doing what he's doing. When you've just bombed someone back to the stonage, pulling out completely is the last thing you should do. That's how you build terrorist nations.
OMG. Rant! Some parts of this probably came out offensive to some people, if you are currently offended, tell me so I can see if something in the rant doesn't reflect my views, or if something in my views doesn't reflect reality.
