um who helped that 'awful dictator' into power?
who gave the Teleban their guns?
Its all about money money money. Not freedom, democracy or weapons of mass destruction. Thats just fox news spec propaganda
Not that im anti USA or anything
sorry
Your info is quite skewed. We supplied the Taliban, mostly in Afghanistan, not Iraq (where the "awful dictator" you speak of ruled), with weapons to win their independence from being taken over. Sounds to me like a good way to make allies. But that doesn't matter because it's not what their religion calls for, and that is the final decision.
Its pure ignorance to think the problem will go away if we go away.
Let them recoup and they will be blowing up your subways and our buildings again. Hell they even attacked Russia, and Russia didn't get involved!
It doesn't matter to them, all they want is for you to die, been that way for thousands of years. Never going to change.
This is dead on accurate. The Koran calls for the death of all "infidels", or anyone not a Muslim. Not only that, but the Shiites and Sunnis have been in conflict for longer than the US has been around. As soon as they are on their own, factions will rise to power and radical ideas will take over. It's happened before, and it will happen again. Democracy seems great over there, but religion dominates over law. Heck, religion is law. Ans religion calls for the death of all infidels.
1. Your still on the oil thing? Seriously its ignorant, you need to read up on the latest findings of our new oil fields. You also dont realise why we buy the majority of our oil, we are buying theirs so when it runs out, we still have ours. Self preservation at its finest.
2. We were content to let Iraq alone for 10 years after Desert Storm when Saddam killed thousand of people with gas.
After 9/11, everybody wanted revenge. Intel was given and Intel was acted upon. Saddam did have WMD's, this was true since the Clinton days. Both our governments knew Saddam had scud missles laden with bio-chemical bombs. We knew Saddam moved weapons to Syria.
And then Saddam was hung by his neck, the people of Iraq cheered. Go figure, we are such bad bad people.
1. The oil thing IS total ignorance. Buy their gas (them being middle eastern countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc.) then, once they've dried up, drill ours and be self sustaining.
2. We wanted nothing to do with Iraq, as said, because, quite frankly it didn't involve us. There are many terrible dictators in control of countries now. When we were attacked on 9/11, we went in to Afghanistan, not Iraq. We went into Afghanistan in pursuit of Osama bil Laden, and will probably remain there until he is found, dead or alive. We entered Iraq because there was intel pointing to Iraq have WMDs. Although there were not found in Iraq, it is believed that Saddam had biohazardous weapons in his possession, somewhere. He doesn't any more.
Remember the videos of his statue being pulled down by a tank? What did the oppressed people do? Immediately jump on the statue's head and beat it with their shoes, one of the most disrespectful things in middle eastern culture. I don't think we are there for their oil, but to protect our own butts and take down a man who hated our country for everything we believe in, religion included. We removed him from power and hung him, now we have to establish a government and get it rolling.
