Protests across Canada denounce wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

[Curiosity]

The Iraqi people were being starved of food and medicine Oil for Food - Hussein's little barter program?

 

[mabudon]

Oh okay, "oil for food" , who arranged and supervised that whole program then??

If it was internal mismanagement within Iraq, it's not really something one of us Western folk can effectively have a problem with, that's why I like to stick to areas that are within my "sphere" so to speak- living in a Western country, I feel that I have "interests" in the actions undertaken by the "West", good or bad

Thanks for the education tho Curiosity(sic), hopefully one day we'll all be smart like that

I think the Americans are definately authors of Anti-Americanisticismologys all by themselves, I mean when a million and a half Iraquis die in an American invasion and occupation it's a bit much to expect the rest of the world to accept that it's just the normal course of liberation. Who's ever going to mention being liberated while there's an American in earshot?:smile:

Boy that is one h***of a word you came up with, impressive.

What kind of mass murders were taking place in the months leading up to the US invasion exactly?? I mean "state sponsored" or are you talking insurgency-related??

Just want to clarify whatever it is you're saying

I, for one, am totally against what the US (and most of what Canada, in Afghanistan) is doing over there just in a global kind of way, I don't believe that any country should have the kind of "rights" such actions would require, PERIOD

The wars in Africa are another thing entirely, but thanks for giving them recognition- start another thread tho since this is not about Africa :iconbiggrin:

Why don't I protest the situation in the former USSR??

Saddam murdered over a million people in his 30 years of power. Many bodies have yet to be discovered. They just disappeared.

Why are the wars in Africa an entirely different thing? Are African lives less less valuable?

I mean when a million and a half Iraquis die in an American invasion and occupation it's a bit much to expect the rest of the world to accept

Instead of a million and a half, why not just use the number bajillion or katrillion. All three are just as accurate.

In a few more years, the "pacifists" will claim that number of dead have actually surpassed the entire population of Iraq. They will have to start including bovine soon.

The United Nations arranged for this massive food / medicine program for the Iraqi people - and many heads of state made millions from the "deals" that were arranged at the expense of the people in Iraq - including Annan's son.

The world according to BCBud

If you have another number why not quote it instead of your bushleague dissin, and I'd like to see the Saddam death count with links if you please. I don't mind decently ammusing putdowns but you ain't much at the art. The number of dead Iraqis is accurate, you're not.:smile:

The mythological Isolationist Heritage of the USA arises in defensive conversation as does the mythological demands on the mythological love of mythological Americans for the victimhood of the worlds unamericanised underclass. What horrific crap.Someday those who espouse such hateful rot will face the judgement of the world court. Ignorance will be no excuse.:smile:

Is that like Divorce Court? What time is it on? Is it on Fox?

Darkbeaver ?

PING !

...hmmm I see a little dot on my radar scope representing what might
be the late Darkbeaver...

PING !

..I see it again.

...it appears to be babbling to itself, and cackling periodically...

Cackle...

PING !!!

...hmmm, note to myself: will present Darkbeaver as a source of mythology to
the Mother Ship. Mother will be pleased...

Good thing there's a Kreskin around to interpret when one post is offensive and when targetting someone as a personal attack is acceptable...

Jesus you people are stupid.

Do you mean my post ?

I hope not. Darkbeaver knows it's silly I hope, and it reflects more about my umbilical
cord to the Mother Ship than it does on him.
