Why do neo-cons appear to mistake death and carnage for freedom in Iraq?

Question

It appears that Iraqis are only practicing their "freedom" to leave the country.

Answer 1

G'Morning Chi Guy I was hoping you'd be on today. Did you see the news? Rioting in Iran. The government has imposed gas rationing. Seems they're importing over 50% of the petrol they use! Death? Carnage? FREEDOM? Yes, it seems the Iraqis are free at last. They can kill as many Iraqis as they please now that Saddam is gone. And when we leave, there will be even more! Isn't freedom a wonderful thing?

Answer 2

Freedom can mean no restraint from law and rules of civilized conduct. 'Liberty' means freedom with restraint and responsiblity. I suppose the Iraqi's are 'free', but the western concept of 'liberty' simply doesn't exist in that part of the world. If I had to guess, I'd say that the Bush Junta has no clue that freedom and liberty are two very different things either. So of course a diminishing number of these Bush supporters see carnage as a 'good' thing....people are 'free' to attempt to impose their will on others.....After all...if 'you're not for us, you're against us!

Answer 3

As I recall, there was 5 years worth of death and carnage during the Revolutionary War in which we won our freedom.
There was also 5 years worth of death and carnage during the Civil War.

So, have you never read a history book? Or are you so racist that you think it's ok for us to have 10 years of death and carnage for our freedom, but not ok for Iraqis to have the same?

Which is it, are you stupid or racist?

Answer 4

Does it bother you when its just Americans dying or did it also bother you when Saddam insane was torturing and killing people also,would it have bothered you when Americans were dying during world war II trying to defeat Hitler?Would it have bothered you when we killed British soldiers during the American revolution or would you be standing in the street protesting? When people fight for freedom most of the time there is there is death and carnage because the people oppressing them do not want to let them be free.

Answer 5

What about the oppression and death they faced with Saddam. Some in Iraq felt they should fight for there freedom, it's a Revolution, not a Civil War. Freedom isn't easy, read an American History Book

Answer 6

Did we not have to go through death and carnage for freedom here? And how many years did it take?

Answer 7

It appears you have mistaken sacrifices for freedom as death and carnage. Make sure you don't repeat this mistake. If there were a non-violent way to pacify Iraq, believe me it would have been tried already.

Answer 8

From playing too many childish video games, they have lost any sense of reality and humanity. This is the key tip off that none of them have military experience they like to keep bragging about. The heresy talk they spew would never come from any combat soldier, but as we all know Republicans are professional liars.

Answer 9

Have you ever been to Iraq?

I have. In fact, I've spent the last 4 years of my life in the Middel East.

The Iraqis enjoy their freedom more than you do and prove it by putting to shame every westernized country in perctage of the population that votes in their elections.

I guess 30 or so years of oppression, WMD attacks, mass graves, rape and torture will make you care about who's leading your country.
