The (Islamic) Republic of Iraq A Strange Sort of Freedom by Jeffrey Tucker You know that you are living in strange times when a single news item on the Iraqi Constitution contains supporting comments from Bush ("completing the next step in their transition from dictatorship to democracy... this constitution is good for all Iraqis and that it adequately reflects compromises suitable to all groups") and an open admission that the constituion erects an Islamic state that robs women of rights they had taken for granted under the regime that the US overthrew: "Under the new constitution, Islam would become the official religion of the Iraqi state, and be regarded as "a main source of legislation." Clerics would more than likely sit on the Supreme Court, and judges would have broad latitude to strike down legislation that conflicted with the religion. Clerics would be given a broad, new role in adjudicating family disputes like marriage, divorce and inheritance. Under most interpretations of Islamic law, women enjoy substantially fewer rights than men." Here is the text of the Iraqi Constitution, which claims that it was written with help from "heavenly messages." Heaven, it seems, has led the drafters of the document to qualify every freedom and right with the proviso: "This shall be regulated by law." As for economics: oil, education, and health are decisively nationalized. http://blog.mises.org/blog/archives/004012.asp

America creates murderous dictatorships. Ever hear of Augusto Pinochet or do you suffer from the collective amnesia of neocons everywhere. So the first time America does remove a murderous dictator, the end result is probably worse. More people may have died since the murderous dictator was removed than under the murderous dictator. Makes me wonder what the hell Bush was thinking. Not a good value for 3000 dead and $400 billion. So far. And all you can do is yammer about appeasers. Get your self-righteous neocon butt out of your head.

And that would seem to be all the more reason why we are obligated to remove them. Quote:

In the end, the Prevention of Genocide Act ran into its stiffest opposition at the White House. The Reagan administration believed that the sanctions were 'premature'. Galbraith was stunned http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/kurds/battle.html So as you can see Jake bringing in Rummy and the Reagan Admin is quite apropo seeing as they gave tacit approval of the act by doing nothing about it...and blocking attempts to impose even economic sanctions for genocide. Again the needs of businees were more important then standing up against genocide....hmmm sounds like Darfur doesn't it! |

Your arguments become more illogical as we progress. Saddam was going to nuke us? With what?

He's by far and away the most clueless person I've encountered on any political forum. He truly believes he's intelligent and making headway with his points, yet the complete opposite is true. One would probably feel pity for him if he wasn't such an arrogant jerk. This post: 1. Isn't about the topic of the thread 2. Illustrates irrational thought and misplaced anger 3. Borders on personal attack of another user which could lead to banning
