Your pathetic argument for moral equivelancy lacks any iota of credibility. You might get a high five from other blame-America-first liberals who are more invested in posturing than facts and reality, but you're either delusional to the point of mental illness or you're being so intellectually dishonest that you've robbed yourself of credibility.
Name the last time civilians were targetted with cruise missiles. Who are these hundreds of thousands being killed by? Who are these hundreds of thousands? Are you lumping the innocents and the terrorists who attack them into the same pool of "victims?" Again, pathetic and dishonest.
So, how have you been doing? You haven't posted in a while? |
I also don't think the situation in Iraq is as clear as you make it out to be. The 'Iraqi' army you refer to seem to me to have been effectively installed by the invading forces, making their credibility as a Government somewhat questionable. Therefore who is to say the so-called 'insurgents' (wrongly labeled terrorists in the media quite often) are not the 'true' Iraqi loyalists who should be recognized as such? The uniforms or lack thereof are really irrelevant and a reflection of wealth more than anythign else in this context I think.
As for "Name the last time civilians were targeted with cruise missiles" etc - this seems a difficult approach to take as I don't think we are given the whole story here, so we would really have no way of knowing. We can each, as always, only assess the situation based on the information we are given, and how valid and/or true we believe it to be.
One thing I am confident of though is Iraq is in the mess it is in because outside forces wrongfully invaded it. Arguments that 'at least we got rid of Saddam' are misinformed in my view. One brutal society has been replaced with another, as Sharia law comes romping to the forefront etc.
Another thing I feel confident about is that so-called terrorist acts are linked to causal factors other than the religion of the perpetrators. It is poor logic to assume that because most terrorists are Muslims, the reason they are involved in terrorism is therefore *because* they are Muslims.
