I’m already on a short list Nick. You seem like a reasonable poster with your references to the Sudan and the like. Are you beginning to understand what the African continent has produced for the rest of the world?
Originally posted by DEMON CUNT I don't think that it was up to our military to remove him. There are violent repressive regimes all over the world.
I think that if the Iraqi citizens were truly unhappy with Saddam's rule, then change would have come from within. Revolutions happen.
Our invasion has caused chaos beyond belief. Remember when Bush and Rumsfeld were expecting the throwing of flowers? Here we are two years later and some Iraqi people are still killing us. Clearly, we are not wanted there.
Serious question -- What was your personal assessment when Saddam would make UN inspectors wait several days to get into an area, restrict where they could get access to, or would refuse them from areas altogether?

I do see. But do not be so quick to judge the Africans. European colonialism is largely to blame (i.e. dividing national borders without considering ethinc or tribal make up [you know, like Tutsis and Hutus]or natural barriers) The African Gov'ts are often the end result of colonialism.
Iraq is a prime example, we can thank the British for combining three distinct nations (Sunni, Shiite, and Kurd) into one state.

"Some" people? "Some" people like the bad guys that want to go back to their murderous, theiving ways? "Some" people that prospered while Saddam was in power? If so. "Some" other people are clearly pretty damn happy we're there because their lives are dramtically improved.

That’s it Nick. You got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!10 Stars!!!!!
That’s what the whole world is about at this time. Colonialism
You understand and I’m proud to say it.
The rest of the world, with a few exceptions, stuck in colonialism.
Until this goes away, the arguments about religions, cultures, borders, languages, and family will all sound the same.
The US gets it right most of the time. The last 100 years have been the best for the US. The US doesn’t get everything correct but because of how the nation is structured, we land on our collective feet.
Nick, I would have not guessed that anyone, anywhere would be able to have this type of discussion and least of all at some place fun like the Roth Army board.

I can' t believe you're buying into this crap
Yeah, Saddam was a piece of shit. But he didn't become one without a little help from Poppy, Uncle Ronnie, and the gang. Personified here by Rummy himself...
The so called "insurgents" are just pissed off Iraqis who see what they consider an opportunity to end Western occupation of their country which has existed in one form or another for well over a century. Some times, as now, directly, and others indirectly through CIA puppets like Saddam.
