Hey some of us are motivated by guilt... but I'm talking about responsibility. It really is to early to tell what's what, but on the surface, I think removing Sadddam is an amazing thing. Assuming we don't put a bigger butcher in charge. Some Baathists are actually getting promotions back into the new government... so we'll see.
Burbank - I don't think we should be going in and removing every dictator in power. Leave Cuba alone as long as he's not about to shoot missiles at us. The other nations you mentioned wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for our assistance in the first place. To turn a blind eye, and pretend it's now the worlds problem, and not our own, when we created it, is wrong. It's the double standard of wanting to put blame on us for making the problem, and then also wanting to put blame to trying to alleviate the problem. How mature. See, you think we put in a puppet government, and the US is evil for it, but then we took him out so we can have control over the oil, and the US is evil for it....and even if there's truth to that, it just means the US played a game and always had control, or the ability to take back control over that oil anyway.... and I'm sitting here saying, a lot more people should be concerned with the innocent victims of brutality....the death toll from the war is still piling up, but it's far from the number they found in mass graves, or the projected numbers had we left him in power. What would have been a better answer? Turning a blind eye? Saying it's not our problem? Too bad you can't suggest some UN sanctions would do the trick.
So the only liberals who exist in your minds definition are the ones who don't support Saddam? That's like me saying the only true patriotic Americans that exist are the ones who agree with me. It's dumb to hold up your ignorance as proof over some mindsets existance or not.
