Why did the US do it?Follow

Hah! I finally caught, Jophiel!

It's Aldous Huxley, dearie.

You smarty-smartson.

One must remember that there are other means of rebellion other than raising arms against a government. Look at the fall of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, in the end it was the desire for freedom and the collapse of the economic infrastructure of some idealogical bastards wet dream. Had we left the sanctions in place and encouraged the desire for change in the livelihoods of the Iraqi people then eventually the Hussien Regime would have collapsed under it's own inability to support itself. The destruction of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact took many decades to accomplish, we had time for similiar results to take place in the Middle East. The only problem with waiting for the insurrection to take place is the cultural differences between the Middle East and Western Civilizations. Leaders of the Western world fear that the "submissive" nature of the middle eastern culture would not foster the appropriate desire for any type of rebellion short of an all out holy war.

Don't go getting your panties all in a wad, you have NO IDEA who I am or what my back ground is. Nor do you know the history of this board because if you did you would think you had entered the twilight zone.

19 years, 4 months and 23 days of serving MY COUNTRY. Don't give me the biggest, baddest guy on the block routine, I've been there, I've done that and I'm getting my retirement for it.

They haven't invaded Florida yet.

Yea, cause Saddam would just let any ******* body in



Hey look, here it is again! I volunteered to go infiltrate the regime but was turned down. They said since it was so damn easy to get someone in, we could do it at any time.

Brains are neat. Pick one up someday.

YAY!

I only pick because I care about you, Jophiel.

Adolph Huxley was Hitler's barber.

Close, though.

I thought any mention of Adolf in any form invoked instant Godwins.

You do realize this is ruining my reputation. I hope you know that.

I also hope that this proves that my arguements are formed with the understanding of both sides of the arguement and the ability to formulate my own opinion.

It was a joke, lightnin.

Actually it was Adolph, but he changed it after WW2, so you're both technicaly correct.

Godwins, allready.

For **** sake.

You sure about that, Smash? I've never heard that before and can't see any documentation of it in the books I have.

Just wonderin' is all.
