Once again the war wasnt to remove Saddam and anyways he's been out of power since 04' wasnt it?

Well I meant produce oil, not sale it to the highest bidder. Though THIS IS A GOOD THING! No denying that.

Yep, and had we not removed him, he would still be in power, and the oil reserves would still benefit his pocket and not the nation of Iraq. Thanks for confirming my point.

So you are saying the war was oil driven and they werent a threat. Thanks for confirming mine.

Sometimes I wonder if a democracy would ever work in a place like Iraq. Those people are so irrational, I hope to God that can get this to work.

Not at all, but why argue a point with you. You are the omniscient one.

Wondered that myself. Due to the nature of Islam, I don't know if a true democracy would ever work. BUT, if it did, imagine what it would do to quench Islamic fundamentalism - women have the right to vote, respect for others, etc. Maybe that's why a victory in Iraq is of utmost importance.

You have no point. There is no justifying this war. When all of your original reasons for going to war are debunked and thrown out, you cant say "Hey, well ummmm it kinda worked out, some." You might be able to get away with something like that on any other level, but when a war is started and peoples lives are involved...that doesnt work.

Though if it doesn't....then what? We would either always have to have a military presence there, or we could always install a "Saddam" like dictator...to be our puppet of course. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

And you have a point? You are clueless, a total imbecile. No logic, no reason, no substantiation. You remind me of a dog pecker gnat.
