Five Reasons Democrats Should Love Georg...

For the sake of argument, we all can agree that in the context of Iraq, several countries, most notably the U.S., entered into war based on faulty intelligence.

But that was only one factor. Regardless of whether Saddam presently had weapons of mass death, we know that the Baghdad butcher was a mass murderer, and we know that Hussein had been in flagrant violation of his terms of surrender, violating international law. The man deserved to be removed from office, did he not? So long as certain members of the U.N. Security Council were on the payroll, however, Hussein thought he was safe.

The low rating is on account that it is complete crap. That said, Democrats are not much better than Bush and the Reps, they (mostly) supported and continue to support the Iraq war and are not that much different on other issues with a few exceptions.

I'm really tired of hearing "Rebulican this Democrat that" . They're both full of it and I think your full of it if you believe the issues that they pawn out on us can be put into to categories (good and evil).

Regardless of whether this has brought democracy to Iraq the war was bullshit because the USA do not have the right to tell people which rights to care about the most. The people in Iraq don't want secondary rights like the right to vote if they come at the cost of basic rights regarding their standard of living. Most people don't care if they can vote if to do so they have to lose their family to bombs and gunfire or even their own life. You may think that it's better to die on one's feet but you can't decide that for every Iraqi citizen.

That article is so lame.
Claiming that Bush attacked Iraq because of Rape rooms. I clearly remember Bush telling the world it was over WMDs.
I'm all for Sadam being out of power, they should have done it 15 years ago. However, this certainly doesn't make Bush benevolent.
That said, the Dems arn't much better. The lesser of two evils for sure, but not a polar opposite or anything.

Yes, we SHOULDN'T "get involved" in helping liberate oppressed people in other countries, right? If people had always behaved like these knee-jerking liberal pussies, Europe would know be called "Germany" and there wouldn't be a Jew alive anywhere but the U.S., China would be part of Japan, and the Phillippines would still belong to Spain, etc etc. Stupid liberals...they pretend to love peace but only so long as they are safe while the rest of the world starves....

Its pretty intresting at how everybody seems to forget that the excuse for going to war in Iraq had nothing to do with how Saddam treated his people and everything to do with the phandom "weapons of mass destruction." Oh but we couldnt find any so then we gotta change our story and find another excuse. As if the US ever cared about human rights.

Saddam was an average dictator. If you wanna see a country that truly has no freedom you should look at our good friends Saudi Arabia. I dont see the Bush adminstration demonizing the Saudi regime. Plus the majority of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. Were any of the September 11th hijackers Iraqi? No

tristonaz, yes you can put everything into terms of 'good versus evil'. Its a little thing that most of the rest of us like to call 'principles'. For example, anything that improves life is good, while anything that makes life worse is bad.

In theory, unfortunately not reality, Republicans have principles that they base their decisions on, such as limited government, greater personal freedoms and responsiblity, etc. But the reality is that Republicans have become just as politically motivated as democrats, mostly due to Religious and social Conservatives.

GWB, has destroyed Reagans revolution by bowing to the evangelical Christians.

Please this next election cycle do not vote republican or democrat. Do your homework, find your favorite 3rd party and vote for them. This is the only way that the 2 party system can be cracked.

As much as I despise GUAII, he is correct.

Iraqis have got to be some of the biggest assholes on the face of the Earth. They do not deserve, nor are they capable of living in a civil society. Fuck'em!

I was all rah, rah, rah at the beginning of this war. What can I say, I was naive and hopeful for humanity, but in retrospec leaving Saddam alone to stew in his despotism would have been best, or better still letting Slobodon Milosovich out of prison and allowing him to head the war on terror.

Kill'em all, let God sort them out.

This is such a load of BS.

There's about a dozen other countries just like Saddam's Iraq NOT located in the middle east. Bush probably doesn't even know they exist. This article is moot.

Its not so much that saddam was such a bad guy, there are many similar examples all over the world.

The problem was that bush lied to do it. And then Halliburton getting a large quantity of no bid contracts, suggest financial logic. If you look at saudi arabia you see how we treat an arab country that gives us what we want, 15/19 hijackers saudi...eh, 0/19 Iraqis....lets give them democracy, by killing a large number of them.

Just because saddam was a bastard doesn't justify the deaths of 43,000+ people (# from iraqbodycount.net) when there are bigger bastards like kim jong il.

In fact i'm going to say that

WE WERE SAFER WITH SADDAM IN POWER!!! I justify that with what ex-CIA operative Robert Baer said in his memoirs, "see no evil," and his interview with colbert (6/28/06, but not currently uploaded). Look him up he has first hand experience all over the middle east, and probably knows more about arab/islamic societies than any other american.

Not to mention if you look at the middle east....its chaos, and chaos breeds terrorists!!! And saddam was a roadblock between the shia and the sunni, now that he's out its basically civil war even though no one wants to call it that. Also, of all the people to attack! saddam hated al qaeda, in some fucked up way he was our ally against those that actually attacked us!

Bush lied, its not about the result, its that no one has taken responsibility for the act. I hope you feel safer that there is civil war in the middle east breeding more and more terrorists....and only for the price of 2800+ US soldiers, 200+ coalition soldiers, and 43,000+ iraqis.

This post is for HahaJonny be jackin me off.

Your assertion that your principles alone give you the right to label something "Good" or "Evil" is wrong. This is espeacially true when your talking about a goverment policy or action that could affect thousands of people who might not share those principles. In such situations its best to leave your petty ideals at the door and look at the practicality of your actions.

And in the future please keep your small minded, elemetary rhetoric to your self. If your going to respond to one of my comments it should atleast be original.
