What the hell are you talking about? Could you be more specific?

Life in Afghanistan was worse to start with. Of course it's still worse then Iraq. At least we can point towards our own bombs for Iraq's destruction and take responsibility in rebuilding it. A rebuild of Afghanistan would be to rebuild the destruction of wars that started before the United States even came to town.

We had NO part in any of those previous wars? What did we do in Afghanistan after the Soviets pulled back? Did we stay there to support the "Afghan liberators," or did we just pull out and leave a bunch of warlords with Russian weapons to play with...?

We didn't liberate Kuwait to replace their government. It's no comparison

How so? We did better, we prevented them from being overrun by a despoting madman, the "Butcher of Baghdad," you don't find this to be a relevant comparison? Can you elaborate, or would you rather just be a condescending shithead?

...and neither is half the shit you cited.

You sure showed me.

As for Syria - Bush said "Â*A terrorist underworld -- including groups like Hamas, HEZBOLLAH, Islamic Jihad, Jaish-i-Mohammed -- operates in remote jungles and deserts, and hides in the centers of large cities.". ...goes on to name axis of evil......."States like these, AND THEIR TERRORIST ALLIES, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world."

Look, the axis was Iran, N. Korea, and Iraq. This is such common knowledge, I'm not even going to further the debate, it has very little to do with what we were discussing.

I'm sorry you're so confused.

And I'm sorry you can't manage to get that stick out of your ass. Look, I'm not trying to play a one-up game here, I was trying to hold a real conversation. I was being genuine. If I'm so wrong on the points I've made, then show me. If you can't do that, or are unable to do that, then please, shut the hell up.
