Well, maybe Afghans. But you're right, better to be the pacifist appeasers that marked Clinton's entire tenure. The time when bin Laden called us "paper tigers" and urged attacks with no fear of retribution. The time of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis starving and dying due to UN sanctions and despotic rule. Sanctions and rule that could have been eliminated if but one country refused to tolerate any more obfuscation and stalling.

Yea, good times... good times...

So do us a favor and explain why the dead Iraqi civillians do not count and why the dead Afghan civilians are a "maybe". Both civilian killings by US forces are well documented (although not in the US and nobody wants those figures in this government).

And whi in the hell do you think you are claiming dead women, children and kids are better than to be a paper tiger?! Maybe you should join the armed services and go where you condemn others to! I have seen Bosnia and can only imagine Iraq. My heart goes out the the civilians and my brothers in arms that die for ignorant assholes like you!

Despotic rule yes, but this despotic ruler was more than once kept in power by the US governments throughout his rule by cash and weapons deals. You may want to research what all was given to this cruel killing despot. Mind you that the US was still giving him weapons aids throughout the gulf war with Iran while he was using b-weapons on the Kurdish people. Maybe you should explain in the same stroke why the despot was not stopped at that time! His killing started right after he took power and was also well documented and please enlighten me why he was not stopped then either.
I am apparently too stupid to figure it out and am unable to read history 101 by Dubya.
