Are you pro or anti Gulf war? Isn't "Fighting for peace" like F*cking for celibacy?

Answer 1

Somewhat crude analogy, but quite accurate! Does that let you know where I stand in regards to pro or con regarding our involvement in Gulf war issues?

Answer 2

No, you are a retard. Beating up a bully is not wrong on the merits of the fact that you have beaten someone up.

Sending people to prison for no reason is wrong; sending people to prison for crimes is reality.

Terrorists agitate over nothing. They kill innocent people in the service of a "cause" or ideology that has nothing to do with anything.

I am going to call America the evil Satan and then start killing innocent civilians for no reason.

Who said the fight is for peace anyway. I have never voted for a Republican, and I certainly didn't vote for G. Bush, but even I can see that the idea in invading Iraq, is to try to establish in that part of the world a successful democracy that is so right in front of the average Arab, that when he looks at a democratic Iraq, where children go to school, and people go to work, and buy cars, and go on vacation etc. etc. etc. its looks so much more appealing to him then becoming one of these Hamas crazies, who has basically abandoned all real life in the service of some mad obsession, that the appeal of terrorism weakens.

Notice that the only people in America who engage in terrorist activities are people that are up in arms about some kind of social construct or theory that the average middle class person couldn't give a sh*t about.

A doctor with three kids has a good life and he has to go to his kids teeball game, he has too much invested in his own life to risk throwing it all away to become a terrorist loony.

By the same token, the typical arab, who lives in an impoverished middle eastern community where some shiek hoards wealth and builds 60 million dollar houses from his oil riches lives in a state of agitation. If however you can put before these people a free Iraq where people vote, and have real jobs, and buy washing machines, and toys, and go on vacation,etc. etc. etc. you have totally defeated the kind of social distress and unrest that makes people susceptible to terrorism.

Don't be a shortsighted simple minded retard.

Answer 3

Not at all. If someone attacked your family; would you want all your neighbors to help come to their aid. Or would you prefer that they all stand around and say "I can't help. I'm against violence." Of course violence would be justified in this type of situation. The war in Iraq is the same thing. just on a larger scale.

According to your theory World War II was wrong. Is that your claim?

Answer 4

Peace comes through repentance. Compelling repentance on one nation is not always impossible. Look where Japan is today. After the US won, we took the "high road" and helped them rebuild. Today they are largely a peaceful people. One the most unrepentant are the ones that you have to fear. Fighting for peace is necessary and hardly something to mock with a stupid question like this.

Answer 5

The following article was taken from http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/meast/09/18/vic.terror.iraq/index.html. At the end of the article, CNN tells us that "Iraq blames the United States for the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis as a result of U.N. economic sanctions imposed after the Gulf War."
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- In a letter to a U.S. anti-sanctions group, Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz expressed "warm sympathies" over terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center in New York and damaged the Pentagon in Washington, the official Iraqi News Agency reported Tuesday.

Contrasting messages from Iraq on terror attacks

September 18, 2001 Posted: 8:41 AM EDT (1241 GMT)
Aziz extended his condolences to the "victims of the incident of 11 September" in a letter addressed to Kathy Kelly, co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness.

"Through you, I extended my condolences to the families of the victims and especially the honorable American people who were in solidarity with the Iraqi people," it said.

At a Glance: Iraq
The Aziz letter was in marked contrast to an open letter to Americans and Westerners and their governments from Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein that was read Saturday on Iraqi television.

In the letter, he criticized the United States and Arab rulers who "rushed to condemn the event" of Tuesday's terror attacks on New York and Washington.

"What happened on September 11, 2001, should be compared to what their government and their armies are doing in the world," the statement read, blaming the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis due to the blockage imposed by the United States and other Western nations.

"Americans should feel the pain they have inflicted on other peoples of the world, so as when they suffer they will find the right solution and the right path."

Iraq blames the United States for the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis as a result of U.N. economic sanctions imposed after the Gulf War.

Answer 6

At least with the first Gulf War you tried to defend the status quo, rather than messing it up entirely.

Answer 7

Sure, kind of like kidnapping kidnappers to prevent kidnapping. It's so hypocritical. The best way to resolve the situation is of course to let the kidnappers or murderers or theives or whatever to run free, and not provoke them. Just cuz they may force all the other civilians to be dead or extorted or slaves or whatever is no reason to commit violence yourself.

Half-asss rehash of a 60s war protest poster.

Answer 9

ALL WARS are EVIL. And they are deeply rooted with hatred, anger, greed, and the lust for power to overcome one's mortal "enemy".

War is WRONG for KILLING is AGAINST The Law, no matter whatever political reasons are being used by the powers that be to rationalize its existence, and to convince the citizenry to take arms to suppress and KILL other people...

Peace be with you!

Answer 10

I was against this war before it started and still am.

You cannot win a war on terrorism because war is terrorism. One must 'fight' injustices instead.
