For all of you who think the war is just killing the innocent...?

Question

the innocent women, and children...
What the heck do you think Sadaam was doing to these people? He was evil, mean, and wicked!!! I would rather have someone come in and kill me, and save my homeland from an evil hand like Sadaam, than to live my life in fear under his leadership!! THINK about that before you open your big fat stinking mouths!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

You go girl! I agree with you. I would rather be dead than live under that SOB's thumb!!!

Answer 2

And some Iraqis would agree with you, some not so much. I have an Iraqi friend, Shahda, and she's told me straight out that she'd prefer to have Saddam back than what has happened to her country. I was really surprised to hear her say that, but she's entitled to her point of view: that, sure, there was no freedom of the press, no political involvement, you had to watch what you said. But the city services were running, and there was security. Now her house is gone, thanks to the United States, and she and her husband fled for their lives. So let's not break our arms patting ourselves on our backs for what we did for the Iraqis.

But now that we're there, we owe it to them to fix this mess, and it would be awesome if we could minimize the civilian casualties. I think it's correct to redeploy more troops to Baghdad. Security in the capital is essential, even if it's mostly psychological. The number one complaint I hear is about security - people just want to go about their lives and get back to business.

I didn't think the invasion was a good idea, but I'll be damned if we screw over the Iraqi people by blowing up the place and then wishing them luck as we head out the door. Leadership should have known, should have listened to the people who said the occupation wouldn't be a cakewalk. Instead, we listened to people with a dog in the fight, like Chalabi, who was a crook and a swindler from way back.

So now it'll be harder, but thems the breaks. And it'll be our soldiers and Marines that pay for the naivete of our political leaders with their blood. It doesn't help if everybody is afraid to utter the words "civil war" because the mid-terms are right around the corner.

I think Saddam is a bad, bad man. I hope they throw him in a deep, dark hole of a prison, and he never sees the light of day again. However, even in 2003, I think there were worse men out there, and if you want to talk about visiting horror on your own people (and let's keep in mind that when he was busy killing Kurds, it was Kurd-killing season in that part of the world - the Iranians were doing it, the Iraqis were doing it, and let's not even talk about the Turks - just so we realize he wasn't alone in that nasty little habit of his, and I don't think Saddam ever felt like the Kurds were "his people," any more than any of their other neighbors do - another happy little post Sykes-Picot leftover) just take a good luck at our buddy Kim Jong Il and his escapades. How about Myanmar? The DRC? Maybe we'd have caught Osama bin Laden by now if we hadn't redeployed half of CENTCOM's SOF to Iraq from Afghanistan.

Yes, you're right, war isn't just about killing innocent women and children. But you sound like you're advancing the old, gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet argument, which is a bit cavalier (and was Lenin's saying anyway). What did Stalin use to say: "A single death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic."

I thought we were the good guys because we DON'T believe that.

Answer 3

Innocent yeah right. We are lucky we do not all get what we deserve. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD! Soldiers do not like to kill! In fact they feel guilty about it. Most people hate to except the fact Christ was innocent and died for his friends. Saddam on the other hand is Evil and will get it! If not now in eternally. We all have logs in our eyes and should think about that before we Judge!

Answer 4

Killing is very BAD whether is done by Saddam or the Coalition Force.Presently people have forgotten Saddam and are in real agony and distress.Please be kind to those people who have been suffering for decades.Previously they were getting beating from Saddam ,now it is IS & British Troops.So,what is the change???

Answer 5

Thing is, Saddam killed people in his own country. It's wrong, I know, but what gives anyone the right to go in, and bomb the crap out of the country. Bush couldn't even make up his mind on why he wanted to invade Iraq; he was bouncing from imaginary weapons of mass destruction to liberating the country and back to imaginary WMDs. I think it's great that Saddam's out of power, but I find it odd that Bush wanted to liberate Iraq and expect nothing in return. Who would ever do that?

Answer 6

I agree with you. Also, if the innocent are dying it is because they are being used as shields, much like the children in Vietnam that were used to mine sweep fields.

Most ants do not have wings.

Answer 7

Hmm..strange,,,thats what exactly what people in middle east think about bush too...the diffrent is,,he is an evil from america...

think..why they rather blow them self up then live under U.S diction?

Answer 8

Who said that? You must be taking things out of context.. I've never heard anyone ever say war only kills civilians..

Answer 9
