What'd I tell you? Iran is next

[hagbard]

When Saddam was busy gassing the Kurds, the US was supporting Iraq, and it was the UN that brought the issue to the forefront.

As for the rest of it, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The fact that you would even mention the nonsense about 'the rapture' shows that you are indeed paranoid and perhaps suffer from other mental illnesses.

Bush wants to bring about the rapture! He's the anti-Christ! He's got 666 tattooed on his head! Buwahahahah. Puhlease. We are in the realm of fairy tales now.

Thank god I know better because if I had to judge the mental stability of cannabis users based on you I would change the penalty for cannabis possesion to death.

Hey, like I said, I read that Bush might be looking to bring about the rapture. He seems headed that way. Now shut-up and spark up another one

Not exactly. The kurds got gased after the gulf war and is one the reasons the no fly zones exist. Iraq did use chemical weapons against iran. Iraq was getting support from the US at this point, but i really dont know what iraq received from us.

You're kidding, right?

 

[etech]

No, I am not kidding. I want you, hagbard, to tell me exactly why the U.S. was helping Iraq.

Can you do that or not?

 

[hagbard]

To fight Iran and because they were seen as one of the more stable Arab regimes (and not threatening Israel).

That's all right, he's just being himself.

Mostly right, some questionable.

Right
To fight Iran. The Islamic fundementalists had taken over Iran and were perceived as a threat to the stability to the entire Middle East. So whether or not we liked Saddam or not, Iraq was the only country in the region that was able to counter what was seen as the greater threat.



I don't believe Israel was part of that equation. Do you have any backing for that part of your statement?

I've participated in debates. It's just that hagbard isn't worth debating. He is full of half assed ideas and the only opinions he has are ones he read on the home page to Slate, the N.Y. Times, etc...

Yeah, for the record, west of Iran is semetic. Iran, Afghanistan, certain ppl of Pakistan, and NW India are Aryan, as are eastern europe territories including Slavs. Chechens would probably be an exception as I believe they are descendants of the Ottoman empire (Turks i believe are semites). Afghanistan may have a little semetic blood though, as they had a lot of arab conquests there.
