Why were the nazis bad? genocide, starts wars, used bio-chem weapons, tried to develop nukes, hated jews, oppresed his people, made a secret police force
Why is sadam bad? genocide, starts wars, used bio-chem weapons, tried to develop nukes, hated jews, oppresed his people, made a secret police force
So what you are saying is that the US was unjustified in taking down nazi germany? Cause sadam seems to share all the traits of the nazis (except for being european).
Please don't be purposefully obtuse. While the Nazi's may not have attacked the US first, they did attack our Allies with whom we had a joint-aggression pact. As the Nazis attacked those allies first (knowing that those countries were our allies), that meant that, both legally and in spirit, the Nazis did attack the US first.
And while I agree that Saddam was "bad", I strongly disagree with comparisions between him and Hitler. Hilter was far worse than Saddam could ever dream to be by several orders of magnitude. In fact, I find such comparisons insulting and ignorant. The US stood a very real chance of losing WWII. More than 100 million people around the globe died because of Hitler's war. And Hitler built his death machine in less than 6 years. Saddam is/was a petty insignificant tyrant in comparison -- in more than 30 years ruling Iraq, he never amassed enough to be even remotely a threat.
This is not to say that I oppose our actions in Iraq. It is to say, shut up, your lack of historical knowledge and respect combined with idiotic jingoism makes conservatives look stupid.
Allies? We didnt have any allies till december 8th 1941. Until then we were a neutral power with no allies. America clung to isolationism after WWI. Yes we helped the british but we were not allies. There's a history lesson for you.
Yes close to a hundred million did die in WWII. But over 50 million were chinese, as far as history goes, germany never invaded china--it was the japanese. And japan attacked china in the beginning of 1933 so by your logic japan was being led by hitler who was just gaining power in germany
The only difference between hitler and saddam is that hitler was powerful. The mindset is the same though--fueled by hatred.
Killing 300,000 isnt a threat, well jeeze you solved all americas problems because only 3000 died on sept 11, and if 300,000 isnt a threat than 3,000 can't be a threat
Comeback with evidence and facts--not made up history--to support your arguments.
