Dear John Doe.
Quote:"At that time, the "West" was supplying weapons to Iraq to counter Irans ambitions. The west knew Saddamm was a despot, but he was "our" despot. The enemy of my enemy is my friend type thing. Your imperialism and conspiracy theory rhetoric is just that."
You see the hypocracy, when the kurds were being gassed with Americas weopans, the world turned their face in respect to Iraq. America was supplying Iraq to kill Iranians, as Israel supplied weopans to Iran to kill Iraqis. The Iran-Iraq war made no purpose, and an example of mulims killing muslims. I know that Saddam was installed to power by the C.I.A, but they gave him an immidiate objective, destablize the region. Saddam's trial would probably never take place, or completely wouldn't be just because of the knowledge he has in the C.I.A, oh by the way, Saddam's excuse of invading Kuwait was because kuwaitis were making Iraqi women there 10 dinar prostitutes, so he said that he invaded Kuwait for keeping the Iraqi honor.
Quote:"Ousting the Taleban was, in my opinion, warranted. The country was being "run" by a bunch of savages."
You seem to be the expert in Afghanistan, now tell me how far does the authority of the Northen Alliance stretch? Just Kabul, the rest of Afghanistan were ruled by warlords even during the Taleban times. Why would America give the Taleban 245 million $ 5 months before 9/11? The last man to succesfuly conquer Afghanistan was Alexander of Greece thousands of years ago. Bottom Line, same Afghanistan different name.
Quote:" And you see flying planes into buildings as justice perhaps?"
I wouldn't justify that, but no excuse to murder women and children.
John Doe, why is it the US government accusing Iran linking with al qaeda, and probable nuclear arms in a couple of year? Well you have North Korea whom proudly say they have nukes. The North Koreans are developing nukes to reach America and has enough nukes to wipe out Japan. Think straight North Korea is a real threat to America and it's allies, rather than Iraq or Afghanistan
