Civil War in Iraq?

"Yeah, we should have just let them sacrifice a few thousand citizens to brutal dictatorship each year in order to have stability."


 Who really give a flying fugg if they do?  Let them kill each other.  If they got tired of it then it would be up to themselves to shed thier own blodd to change thgings.
 IMO it's certainly much better than sacrificing thousands of US and UK "citizens" to stop them.

 But we're not there to "liberate" them and bestow "democracy."  Then again you knew that.

 If Hussein was the target the he would have been brought back to the US post haste to stand trial, like Noriega did ,for the attempted murder on Bush Sr - unless the assination plot was a contrived and convenient story too.

Very nice summation!

I believe if you do a post search, you'll find a very small minority that have said that. This is just what sticks in your mind, so that's what you use for a blanket statement for the majority.

Well, I suppose you've changed your mind then from the time you said, "You know how I feel about it... I'd turn the whole friggin' middle east into a glass parking lot." I remember it very clearly. Your written comment above surprised me, since I distinctly remember you saying it.

that's not what he said. he said 'balled' (as in tea-bagged). not 'bald'.

which, considering the subject; seemed entirely appropriate.

My interpretation of that speech was "If something like this happens again, on the same scale or larger, we WILL be heard"...or in short, we'll turn your country into the worlds largest glass parking lot.


Thats what you remember. My statement still stands. Its a minority.

No, Rip. I don't know how much more clear I can make this. The phrases, "You said..." and "I remember you saying..." denote spoken language. Do you understand? Spoken, not written. You said those words on the local vox channel.
