You selectively apply the word genocide Zzarchov, I could give you some credit if you freely applied the word to Isreali actions of the last sixty years. The occupation of Iraq was unavoidable by any means available to Iraq, that action was predetermined in London and Washington and had nothing to do with alleged Iraqi war crimes and everything to do with oil and regional power.
You are correct about genocide having no statute of limitations and someday all those who took part in the Iraqi Genocide will face justice or there is none.

No, its pretty consistent. If you have proof of Israel dumping Chemical weapons over palestinian towns and bulldozing the corpses into mass graves, please let me know.

As for why Saddam was toppled, I already said I don't care why, just that it happened. If Im gonna wait for any organization of people to act out of goodness over self-interest I may as well wait for my car to run on unicorn farts and positive thinking rather than buying gas.

That was a very important speech by Barack Obama, a speech we can all look back on, and
realize the goodness of this man, the intelligence, the vision, and the strength.
If only he had been president then, all of this insanity and illigalities and unnecessary deaths, from many countries, could have and would have been prevented.

Everyone who spoke at that time, for the 'right' thing, were totally ignored, because
'you know who, and his friends' allready had made their plans, and their plans had no
thought for the american military who, 'in 5 years' would lose 4000 people.

Hopefully in november barack obama will be the president, and he can begin, to slowly
bring the iraq war to a slow enough pace, so that they can begin to come home, and then
he can, and I know he will, endear himself to the rest of the world.

The speech he gave after rev. wright incident, was amazing and wonderful, entirely
written by him, and contained great wisdom and vision for his own country.

His feces doesn't stink either.

Obama is not going to win. White people just cannot vote for a guy who attends a church that is run by what amounts to be a KKK leader save for the color of his skin. He will not disown Rev Wright who spewed just as much racist garbage as any KKK Grand Dragon. The only difference is that it was against white people...so that isn't so bad...according to the liberal whackos.

He had a chance...now it is gone.

Well one good part about McCaine winning is that it will give peoples lives more meaning here on CC.

Many white voters can't vote for a black man period.

Nice country you got there.:roll:

So let me get this right. You stated you don't care that tens of thousands of innocent people have died and believe that self-interest should over come everything because you want to have gas to put in your car and "don't" have the time to wait for anything else. Hmmmm.....that's quite the philosophy.

Would you also go steal your neighbor's lawn mower because your grass needs to be cut and you don't have the time to go buy one.

A war that will cost a trillion dollars, empower Iran who secretly pushed for this war, created millions of refugees, killed tens of thousands of Iraqis, cost the U.S. it's political power on the world stage, killed over 4000 U.S. soldiers and maimed many thousands more, created more terrorists, completely botched and underestimated and raised the threat of terror all to quell a threat that was nonexsistant.

Yep, well worth it to get rid of a guy that had the British mess under control and was no threat to anybody save Iran. Hey, if the Iraqis didn't like the guy they should have gotten rid of him themselves, it's been done before but successful nation building hasn't.

Rather than stray off topic, I'll post a response to that here:

Just heard this.....consumer spending in US lowest in 23 years......and to think some people are still refusing to use the word recession. Add a 3 trillion dollar war to that, imagine.....trillion, and you have all the making of a disastrous scenario.

Does anyone know what comes after trillion?

Unfortunately American's aren't too terribly swift...

There has to be something like millions of foreclosures and bridges collapsing and food contamination resulting in death to get their attention. It's the same old story of "It's your duty to fight for your country and you should be proud to surrender your life in the name of "freedom"....until it's your kid!

Consistant with the American strategy of pointing a finger at anyone and everyone else when their "foreign policy" is predicated on lies and nonsense, Americans are staunch believers in the responsibility being somone else's and when the plant closes and the store shelves are bare...well it's got to be the Chinese or the French or the Italians or the Cubans or the Spanish or the Romanians or the Swiss or .......

I wouldn't be smug. Canada is lucky. If Harper was PM at the time of the Iraq invasion, we would have been part of it. Posts on this forum show Canadians are just as easily fooled as Americans.
