Is this the best information about Iraq on the internet?

Question

OK, to start, for those who say we are winning, services in Iraq are worse than they were under Saddam, more civilians have been killed during our occupation that were in all of Saddam's rule. If we didn't "blow things up and kill innocent civilians" how did we do that while carpet bombing cities and sending high explosive munitions into them?

We will leave the increased cancer risk due to the depleted uranium projectiles for another time.

Now for the original question

We already have.
Under Bush; America has lost the respect of the people of almost every country in the world. A few countries which are dependent on US aid and power still pretend to be on our side but their people are not.

They see us turning into Russia of the 50s and 60s; Invading countries for no reason, wire tapping illegally, library records being seized, showing documents for travel, being encouraged to spy on our neighbors all in the name of SECURITY, plus the elimination of the middle class.

Just hope that in November the long road to recovery will begin; but it will take far longer than the 6 years it took to get this close to the bottom.

Remember, the "Patriot Act" is not patriotic.

Answer 1

Dumb-****: Depleted Uranium. DEPLETED. It's not friggin' radioactive anymore, genius. Did your mother have any kids that lived? Or just the occasional p***y troll like yourself?

Answer 2

i'll address your faulty view of iraq.
first we did not carpet bomb. we used precision guided ordinance that while able to hit a three square foot area from thirty thousand feet may still result in the occasional unintended victim due to their proximity to the blast and various other factors. a prime example of carpet bombs the allied bombing of dresden during world war 2. we took that city apart. there was no infrastructure left. i don't know the numbers but i would say that the people killed during the bombing of dresden would at least rival the total killed during the entire iraq offensive. and probably would rival the total number killed during the offensive and the susequent 3 years of occupation combined.
and what do mean by people having it better under saddam? yes there was an order to society but that order was mantained by the goverment sanctioned torture and murder of it's own citizens. i'd rather live in chaos and have a chance to make a better life than live in fear of the very people who are supposed to help with this life.
as for world opinion, who cares? the french? a bunch of talkers. the canadians? a bunch of self rightious asses. the russians? like they have a leg to stand on. look at chechnya they are not there because it's good for the chechens character to be involved in a war over a decade long. or how about china? we all know how impecable their human rights record is.
as for the allies whose populations say they don't support our actions i say that people on the whole are not very bright and if our sole measure of something needing to be done is that every competing interest has an equal stake and is allowed equal time and thought nothing would ever be done

Answer 3

This is becoming common around here. You pretend to pose a question, but you don't actually ask a question. Instead, you post a political diatribe that belongs on a blog, not at Yahoo! Answers.

Answer 4

amen.
