What is the "mess" that has been made in Iraq?

Nuke, it's obvious that you don't think that this is a mess. In fact, you think this is the greatest thing that's ever been.

Here in the reality-based community, some of us note some problems.

You need a different thread for your outlook.

Title it: "Iraq; peaches!" ........ or something.

But debate on the situation in Iraq shouldn't be constantly side-winded by your "what me worry?" angle.....

Nash, just tell me what mess you think was created. What is it that makes you think that Iraq has been turned into a mess?

War unsustainable.

Pull-out innevitable.

Civil war ensues.

*Worse* than Saddam finally takes control.

Terrorism in Iraq becomes *in fact* a reality.

Enboldened by the fact that the US military can't do anything about it. Once a question mark, now a certainty.

Now it's boogy time.

You have not said why you think Iraq is a mess.

Nuke, the point of war is to make peace, yes?

I'm trying hard to remember back to the way I felt about "Bible Thumpers" when I was pagan. I remember loathing evangelicals and finding them intensely irritating, but I don't recall actually ever "fearing them" or finding them to be a threat to anything in particular.

LMAO!!! Don't think I've ever been called or referred to as a Pagan before. I wonder if you realize that all of your Christian holidays and festivals were taken directly from Pagan holidays and irituals.

I'll admit to being intensely curious, what exactly do you "fear" us "bible thumpers" are going to do and which freedoms do you think we are going to take, and how are we going to accomplish that exactly?

- SEAGOON

Hmmm...let's see. My freedom of not having to worry about sending my children to a public school and be forced fed religion. The freedom for women to be able to choose. The freedom of waking up and not finding myself living in what was a democratic country that became a Christian Theocracy, which is what our Founding Fathers never intended this country to become. The freedom of not having some bible thumper telling me how to live my life. The freedom for a child to pick up a book in the school library without some bible thumper throwing a tantrum because it "promotes Witchcraft".

The only difference between a Bible Thumper and a Jihadist is that a Bible Thumper wears a tie.

Are you asking me to explain the point of war?

Sandman · « **Reply #87 on:** December 01, 2005, 11:41:15 PM »

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women?

That's your idea of the point of war?
