I'm rather confused at this point what the mission in Iraq was. Helping school childrens? Is the Iraqi Childrens learning?
I still don't see why people think the security gains are permanent. It's fragile and it's largely due to excessive bribing and certain people deciding to wait out the U.S. occupation. In the end, the world is going to find a heavily islamicized decentralized state that is an ally of Iran.
Was that the mission goal?
In the end, it really was a humanitarian mission (which I incidentally do not agree with in any aspect).
We get to kill some terrorists, which is nice (although underwhelming - start lining our bullets with pig fat and we may get somewhere), and the "mission" is ultimately to protect our own interests (people, economy, etc...).
There were far more dire humanitarian concerns around the world. Now, you can go on barking out of your sphincter but eventually you'll just be ignored because you're a fuckin idiot.
We invaded Afghanistan for terrorism.. we invaded Iraq to remove Saddam. Sure, it helps us in the long run, but I would venture to say that it helps them FAR more than it helps us. Thus, humanitarian. Thus, my reason for us not being there.
Keep using personal attacks. I promise it makes you look smart.... what? Cant come up with anything else? Then get back to work and get me some fries.
Personal attacks? Calling you an idiot is not personal at all, you're a clown and you know why. I'm not even going to ask you why you think removing Saddam is a long term benefit. Because 1) you don't know 2) you don't know you don't know 3) despite not knowing you'll say something stupid and try to cap it off with another asinine remark about Islam and pigs.
Im pretty sure calling someone a name is a personal attack. It, in fact, defines it.
What is this?
If you cannot grasp such a simple concept, what makes you think you are the LEAST bit qualified to comment on things like world affairs?
Things needed change in the middle east. While I dont agree with how or why it happened, in the long term, it is a good thing. How it SHOULD have happened is that we should have checked for nukes/wmd, discovered none, and left the next day.
Not all of us have the auto-appeasement defect in us. Not all of us think that Saddam was a great man and should have been allowed to continue to commit genocide. The mere fact (even if I do not agree with the circumstances) that we will stand up and say that certain things will not be tolerated shows that some of us have more backbone than others.
