It's not about great logic.the fact is , our country is going to hell in a hand basket. those of us who care to do somthing about it don;t need any whiny crap from people not willing to buckle down and do there part
Fools,, The idea that democracy actually exists anywhere is stupidity. Sure we can go any where we want in our own countries but we are always under the watchfull eye of our governments. The Hanging of Saddam was a tragedy. Maybe with counselling he would have been a better president or maybe not. Sadly, our Prime minister John Howard, is hearing the rhetoric from Tony Blair and that dwarf G.W. Bush and believing it totally. It puts our lives here in Aussie at risk and has changed the outlook of all Australians. 'viva la Revolution'.

And that in part thanks to the irresponsible actions of an incompetent administration.
Saddam met his end before testimony could be taken from him regarding his source of chemical weapons used against Kurds. Remember, as Vice President, George Herbert Walker Bush cast three tie breaking votes in Congress, to enable the U.S. to continue making chemical weapons. He supplied these weapons to Saddam, asking only for statistics regarding effectiveness. He too must be takenb to a gallows and hanged for the crimes committed against humanity in which he participated.
We already have 150k troops in Iraq plus (supposedly) 300k trained Iraqis. Declare martial law and order the disarming of the population then use the nearly 1/2 million troops available to go door to door searching each house and shooting anyone on the streets with weapons. This is what was done in Germany and it only took a shortwhile to bring calm to the country. Bush and Rice have mis-managed this war like it was some corporate campaign that just needs more advertising and 'power lunches' to succeed. they are delusional in their calls for democracy in nations that have no history of freedom. Only brute force and a costly price for those countries financing terrorists (Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Sudan) will dampen the Jihadists urge to kill. Declare War on these bastards and unload on them- enough of the Forest Gump President's mumbling about democracy and freedom. As for dopes like 'joe Republican' and 'turtlehead', who call for the hanging of our leaders, better have a bedroll and some reading material handy because when the real war starts (after unfortunately they kill thousands more in their attacks) , the citizens of this country will rise-up and demand these sick traitors be thrown into the internment camps that are already being prepared for traitors and sympathizers- but they will be offered free legal advice from the ACLU leftist traitors who will be sharing their barbed-wire encamptment. We didn't ask for War, but since they want to die so badly for their 72 virgins we are obligated to fullfill their wishes. Iraq doesn't need more US troops, they need a leader with a pair of lead huevos to finish a job started by a spoiled, delusional, corporate frat boy and his piano playing naive Sec of State. The choice isn't 'more troops', it's win or surrender. Program the codes on the triilons of $ worth of useless military weapons and let's finish this war- so we can have some peace. Thanks for letting me 'share' and Happy New Year to all freedom-loving people.
to Dave.G.....I am talking about the people of america,.. I do not like the current administration,.. but i am an American and i'll be damned if i'm going to sit out of the game because of the hand i was delt this round
Yes... SP4/Educating Trevor... next time for the sake of peace... pls think twice!!!
... and by the way... if you're an educator... SP4/Educating Trevor... no wonder USA in in its present !state!...
People now make sense of what your saying. Keep what your saying understandable with clear facts!! Whether or not the US backed him a murderer is a murderer. There is only so much the US can do control peace in that region. He was just the US's puppet in the past. Accept his death by hanging. They (IRAQUIS) live with violence and this is not unusual for them. Who else is next to be hung? Are you going to feel sympathy for them too? You murder others your death will only come eventually too. One way or the other. Managing a country without resorting to violence takes brains. He surely did not. This is what happens when you do not have an education. You screw up.
Hussein is gone. Good riddance. Who cares about Iraq or its people? The truth is we're sick and tired of hearing about it. I know I am. I could care less if those people ever have freedom or not or if Iraq gets nuked or whatever. I don't give one hoot about Iraq. They can all kill each other for all I care.
There is no peace without War. it is the order of the universe.
Loneranger...if you're american... I( wish you the same fate.
NOW I'm tired of all this crap.
Good riddance for the so called... USofA!!!
Antonieta....your last comment earned you a new enemy for life.....you are worthless
loneranger said 'Who cares about Iraq or its people? The truth is we're sick and tired of hearing about it.'
Well, you wouldn't have had to hear so much about it, if it hadn't been invaded by us for non-existent WMDs, non-existent links with Al Qaeda (at that time at least), or non-existent democracy.
We were the ones who put Irak on the news. And now, we don't want to hear about it. Now, that's funny.
While ta;;ying Saddam's body count during his 24 year tyranny, did President Dumbya, also count the number of people who died in the state of Texas while he was the HRIC??? What should his punishment be? Oh yeah I forgot he is above correction... others must suffer his bad deeds...
So Sadaam gives his life while the Taliban continues to 'plot' against Amerikkka?
Americans tend to forget that the U.S. as a Republic is only 200 years old, and was created by subjigating over one million indigenous people in the process. Iraq, as well as the other middle eastern states, have existed in more or less their present state for hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of years. What arrogance to think that we as Americans can go in and change entire cultures, civilizations, factions, and long held beliefs, with the promise of democracy. Iraq, like most other middle eastern states, is a Theocracy---they don't, and never will, seperate church from state. Islam is an integral part of their politics and it is utter stupidity to think it will ever be otherwise.
Antonietta, the US of A will always be here, as much as you'd like to see it destroyed. And yes I'm American. In case you don't know it, most Americans feel the way I do. The only ones that don't are the Bushhogs. And even many of them are starting to have second thoughts on Bush and his fiasco. Iraq is lucky I'm not president. There would be nothing left. And I'm sure many Americans feel the same. You're not American obviously. Well what I said still stands.
loneranger... you wished...
My ascentry is far older that 200 years and... lasted far longer than yours ever will.
Yours is already on the decline.
Watch history and look beyond your belly button.;)
. . .you need to wake up: While our troops are dying by the thousands in Iraq, the Germans are supplying the Iranians with nuclear technology that would tip the balance of power in the Middle East in favor of radical Muslims. The Germans didn't send one single soldier to fight alongside the international coalition forces. The concepts of solidarity, humanity, freedom and democracy mean nothing to the German elite, who instead are busy trying to regain control of Europe and work against the interests of the free world. To the Krauts anything or anyone American, British or French is bad and inimical.
Think of it: In case the U.S. and our allies will need to engage Iran in a war to destroy its nuclear threat, the Germans will have delivered to that country's regime nuclear technology, arms and ammunitions which will be used to kill American and coalition troops.
and how can you even make a statement like that without any history on Lonerangers 'ascentry' ?
