what's wrong with my comment?
rumsfeld himself visited saddam a couple of times.
1. The US government has not supported Saddam for the last two decades.
2. "the hypocrisy is just becoming sad" <---- Doesn't make sense.
And your point is...
do you remember what happened after the first war in iraq? when george bush failed to support a possible revolution in iraq and thereby brought saddam back into the game? That's indirect support.
this shit was aimed at engel-rock, who said that anti-americanism was just becoming sad.
rumsfeld visited saddam to provide him with weapons for iraq's war against iran. I think this can be called support as well.
This shouldnt come as a surprise to yall. Besides the US, and Britain, the majority of the world sees this war for the imperialsitic aggression that it is. Naturally, when the strongest army in the world is invading a third world nation, people will be gunning for the under dog. This is natural.
will it? can u honestly tell me it will? gunpoint democracy doesnt work. You cannot force democracy in a country that has never had the institutions for it.Is Afghanistan free and democratic?What have yall done there? I mean, seriously, besides killing thousands of people, bombing weddings and killing the odd goat.
1. I never insinuated what u said in the last post2. On contraire, mon ami. Iraq was ruled by King Farouk and that country;s system of govt was anything but a democracy. Under King Zahir Shah, Afghanistan WAS NOT a democracy, It was ruled by a series of King appointed prime minsters which acted like despots. See: Mohamed Daoud Khan.
Agua posted in this topic, then deleted his post...Spiffing
btw, i do think that peeps who support the us are brainwashed. the whole mess could have been solved in 1991 but dubya's pops decided not to help the iraqi people. instead he just looked at them being slaughtered.
