Do you think Bush feels guilty about the 10s of thousands of civilian deaths on his hands?

Question

The Iraqi war is supposedly a 'mission for freedom' right? I mean the whole purpose was to oust a dictator from power to free the people and lead them to a better lifestyle right? Dont tell me it was to protect america because there was never any threat, no terrorists came from there, they had a secular dictator, never had any threatening action towards the US.

So in order to 'free' this soveirgn nation we invaded it and killed 10s of thousands of its civilians, so even if in the end they are free and have a functioning democracy, at what cost was it gained. I mean the 3000 killed in 9/11 shook our nation to its core, can you imagine 10x that? Bush and his cronies would have to be some cold cold hearted muthas to not feel guilty about that....
what do you think?

Answer 1

I am sure he feels as guilty as Lyndon Johnson did during Vietnam when he not only was responsible for thousands upon thousands of american soldiers deaths, but thousands upon thousands of civilian deaths.

This is nothing new, and history repeats itself. ITs that we choose to forget what happened in the past

Answer 2

Bush, being a devout Christian, feels bad about every death, except, perhaps, for those of the terrorists who go around murdering the Iraqis on a daily basis.

As for the number of civilian deaths, can you provide a legitimate site that has actual counts? There has been so many 'estimated' numbers that have been hysterically outrageous and laughable, that the continued fabrication of huge numbers has numbed me to actually believing anybody's claims. That's what the anti-Bush liars have done with their non-stop lying - made me skeptical of any claim against Bush.

Do you realize that it is the Sunni Saddam supporters, the imported terrrorists and some local imam whackos that have done almost all of the killing of civilians since the Iraqi army was defeated? It's true. They've been bombing innocent Iraqis for 3 years now. To prevent them from forming a free and democratic Iraq. Are you blaming Bush for these deaths?

I will ignore your mischaracterization of Iraq under Saddam and the reasons for removing him. I'm tired of having to repeat the facts.

Answer 3

Bush flubbed it with the Iraqi invasion, no doubt about that, but he does have a conscience.
Bush has shown this many times but not in the public spotlight because he feels it is wrong to make a show of it. The problem with that is he is the president and needs to be an example.
Many more Iraqi people were killed on a regular basis by their government. Worst of all, in a culture where people consider proper burial so essential to eternal rest, many thousands of people were crammed into mass unmarked graves without proper burial.
The thing is, it wasn't our fight - we can't save the world with violence - we leave ourselves vulnerable while stretching our resources elsewhere - and we're losing our own people and sending unprepared people into an impossible situation. There are no firm lines drawn here. Soldiers have to protect themselves from insurgents without hurting innocents and it is hard to tell who is who. Any time we enter a war when we don't really have to it is wrong.
PEACE

Answer 4

Bush has killed tens of thousands? Really? Where are the mass graves? Use some common sense for a change.

When the 10,000 figure came out two years ago, it was statistically impossible. They would have had to bury over 300 people a week. Now that it's tens of thousands, in three years, they'd have to bury a similar number. Where exactly are the mass graves? The bodies have to go somewhere... Wow, I guess they're in a pit with the people who weren't really killed on 9/11...

Answer 5

Bush is a monster. I'm certainly glad I didn't vote for him, because I then would have to feel guilt about the carnage he's caused. I believe amongst his many viscious traits is stealing elections (probably bribery). I also believe he caused the airplane crash that killed a man who might have been a key man in stopping the Iraq war. Senator Paul Wellston. I wouldn't doubt, one bit,if the Bushes were somehow involved in the demise of the great Kennedy 's (John, Bob, and John Jr). We, as americans have got to get off the drugs and get into action and put an end to his rule. He doesn't stand for 'America'. He's just a greedy monster who's out of control!!!!!

Answer 6

I see what you recommend. And in case you help the war on terror, you're actual this second categorized as a Bush-supporter. Bush has been portrayed as very dumb both nationally and the international over, and without sturdy reason too. many human beings imagine they could have made a more effective determination, yet might want to they? u.s. is between the preferable international locations of this time (coming from a non-American), and Bush in 01 had numerous rigidity on his fingers. Democracies are the most honest governments, yet are labor even as it is composed of preserving order. i do not shoot down others techniques like a number of the different answerers, and that i myself have a good time with being enlightened by way of their part of their tale. in certainty, without those human beings, democracies does no longer artwork. All I ask is an evidence of their element of view and what do they recommend. i imagine that the war on terror changed into inevitable. some say international peace can purely be executed with the eradication of religion. faith has performed a huge section in this war, and it both denies and promises desire interior the war. both way, human beings are going to be unhappy.

Answer 7

Where do you get your facts? Once you pull your head out of your behind, maybe you will see that the terrorist of the world are doing the killing, not the US Armed Forces. They all migrated to Iran for the purpose of killing Americans. They do not care how many civilians they kill as long as they get one or two Americans with them. You need to spend some time in the military and quit listening to gossip. Maybe then you will grow up enough to really understand what it is like. Idiots like you should be placed on the front lines and made to defend yourself, just to see how long you would last. Good Day to you!

Answer 8

I think you need to quit listening to the "drive-by" media and start looking at the facts. There is more than ample evidence that Al Quida and Saddam Hussein were in bed together. As for civilian causalities, I don't think there were any uniformed combatants at the World Trade Center. Those were civilians, and the Islamic killer terrorists butchers didn't have any problem killing them.

Answer 9

10s of thousands? What are you smoking? I want some. Would you bash WW II if it were going on right now. Would we be wrong to participate in that. 20,000 Americans died per day in that war. 20,000 "Innocent" civilians died per day. This has been the war with the fewest loss on both sides and yet you complain. This is a sad day, almost as bad as when the moron hippies spit on our troupes when they came home from Nam. You dont like the way we do things then move or kill yourself.

Answer 10

Any human being who has the power to send other human being into battle, where they will kill innocent people, especially children over a war where they have no clue what they are fighting (killing, destroying a country) for, has absolutely no conscience or heart! I'd love to see the day, when Bush and all of Congress put their children and THEMSELVES in combat uniform to fight for a bogus war.
