AS for your estimate of 650,000 civilian death thats a bullshit number someone made up. I know this because the U.N. who is completely against this war has only estimated it at just over 100,000.
They're maybe some unhappy with their government but now they have th power to change it and they don't have to worry about the government killing them.
Supporting the troops mean you support them on all things including they're commanders at whatever level. If you don't support the mission then you don't support the troops plain and simple.
SEnding more trooops to Baghdad is a great strategy. If you want to read on why then look at what happened to Mosul! We sent in many more marines and removed the problems in that city. Why can't that work with the capital?
As for this quote “the American people obviously have problems with the way the Republicans have been running things,” it is in reference to them not governing like conservatives. Liberals we're elected because the so called conservatives we're nbot and people wanted them out not because they wanted change in the war policy.
You keep stating that war vets want the war over and us to leave. Thats bullshit. Thats a very small percentage of the people there. I was there when the war started. I helped ensure that bombs landed on target in the openning hours. The military wants nothing more than to not be held back by so called "peace activists" in their job.
Peace activists are cowards! Plain and simple.
You wrote about oyur worry for how our troops we're supplied but you don't want to send in backup. Hypocricy!
"I am not interested in politics or even in world affairs. " Then your opinion is skewed and doesn't matter.
The difference between the commies and the terrorists is that we were attacked not once but on more then a dozen occasions prior to 9/11. You want a real definition? Here's one! A rogue group of individuals who sue fear of death as tactic and don't uniform themselves and fight like cowards. Mind you they're not as cowardly as peace activists.
"And to assume that we need to put a government in place that is western friendly and democratic, may not, in the end, turn out to be the best for that culture. It’s best for us, but we (as a nation) cannot be so egocentric as to assume that we need to make every nation agree with us." YES WE CAN! We're footing the bill! And we're not going to install a government that hates us that would just be stupid and who says the west has be us. I don't care if they turn out like france or Us as long as we can count on them to help us in the region it doesn't matter.
"failure to conform to the Geneva Convention rules for treatment of prisoners" The GEneva convention applies only to uniformed prisoners of war of another nation! Its does not apply to terrorists. Who cares what we do to them because it will be better then what they would do to us. I site the planned beheading of a british soldier that was just caught by the boys at Scotland Yard.
You point only to the dew mistakes we've made in supporting governments. What about the new Russia? What about Germany? What about Japan? What about South Korea? What about Italy???????
"Another countryman came here to destroy our people" Bullshit! He is of no country he is of a religion of hate. Not of any country! If he was he would have had a miulitary uniform on.
Your another insane individual who I can't believe I gave up 6 years of my live to help. You may have freedom of speech but the Iraqi's didn't till be went and won't unless we stay and if need to as our commanders believe send in backup.
Here's an analogy for you. A cop sees 4 men robbing a house he is by himself. Should he call for backup?
That's what we face there. We are outnumbered. We need backup.
Fuck your "ideals" of peace. They are ideals of ignorance and stupidity.
