Okay, here's the deal with that site.
1. They are talking about how the protestors are hypocrites because they are "attacking police, looting property, etc." That is a HUGE generalization. Here in good ol' Eugene, Oregon, there are a LOT of protestors. There was not a SINGLE violent protest here or anywhere else in Oregon.
2. They also say that Saddam had WMD's. Well, we get in there and take the place over, and WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?!!! FACE IT BUSH THEY'RE NOT THERE!!!!!!
3. They say that Saddam killed thousands of Iraqi civillians, which is true. But saying that he attacked "his own people" is not true, since he is a Sunni muslim, and the people he attacked were Kurds and Shi'ite muslims. Prior to WWI, the three races were controlled by the Ottoman empire, and there were no problems at all. It was a firm leadership that was tollerant of all races. But then the Brits and the allied nations went in there and destroyed the Ottoman empire, and combined the Kurdish, Sunni, and Shi'ite territory into one country ( before they were three seperate territories, or "millets"😉. All of a sudden, they started killing each other. Big surprise. There has been a problem ever since. The only way to make Iraq a succesful, peaceful country is to divide it up into three seperate ones. Not by trying to force the Iraqi people into accepting a system of government they may not want.
4. They also mention something about Saddam lying. It is getting late, and I'm tired, so of course I have forgotten what it was he lied about. Anyways, guess what. BUSH LIES ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!! I'm not comparing them, but it's true.
5. They also ask "why didn't they attack earlier?" WELL, I DUNNO!!! THAT's A DAMN GOOD QUESTION!!!! Why didn't Bush Sr. get rid of Saddam while he had the chance?!!!
People supporting Bush, dont forget his excuse to go to war was not to liberate the people (but that seems what people have changed it into)....so where are these weapons of mass destruction?
Ok, so based on his real reason 'weapons of mass destruction'..... erm North Korea (and theirs arn't invisable btw)....oh yeah and their people are hell of alot worse off that Iraqs people are/were! ....could it because North Korea has no *cough* oil *cough*
and why does bush think that he needs to go into iraq to "help" them set up a new country? did some random country help the US after the revolutionary war? where is he getting his ideas from? iraq needs to set up itself because if bush does it for them, then when he takes US troops out, iraq will have no clue what to do. they need to learn themselves.

Now that the damage has been done it is important to rebuild Iraq. It is important to do so, because, after World War I, and the defeat of the Germans, no one stayed behind to help them rebuild, which of course gave way to Hitler's dictatorship. Because the people of Germany had no one to cling to for support they turned to anyone who gave them something, although it was fallatious. And after the American Revolution we recieved aid from France, mainly due to hatred for the British.
😖 Don't tell no one I can talk sense. I have a reputation to uphold.
I think, in my very humble and clouded mind that ol'Georgie has simply bit more than he could chew. It not even if what he did was right or wrong (which is also debatable) but, no one can simply correct everything in the world. All evil comes from the mind and no calibre gun can control a mind. These people have a way of life, even if it's not the way we'd choose, they are who they are.
George, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Until no one hates americans in Iraq, you will not be able to leave. If you do leave you will go down in history as a conqueror who put the country in ruins.
Al Gore, I always knew you were the one. 👆 You have the better wig.

I'm greatly in favor of the wonderful tax cuts he gave us. Greatly in favor. And everyone thought they would hurt our economy. Pfft! The economy is growing, and those of us who got some tax relief can actually generate more movement in the economy as well!
WTF!!!! How can you possibly be in favor of that crap?!!! IT HAS HURT OUR ECONOMY!!!! CURRENTLY WE HAVE THE BIGGEST DEFICIT IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES AND YET YOU SAY THAT IT HAS NOT HURT OUR ECONOMY?!!! ARE YOU ENTIRELY ISOLATED FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD?!! Also, unless you're the rich type that make up a VERY small part of the country, YOU DID NOT BENEFIT VERY MUCH AT ALL FROM THE TAX CUTS!!!! The Bush administration claims that their tax cuts are designed to target "average income" families. Actually, this is true. However, the "average" is not accurate, since when they are figuring out the average, they include everyone. Although there are very few rich people, they earn so much money that when their incomes are included in the "average," they entirely throw it off. So, the average is not accurate. They should be using either the median or the mode. Either one would be more accurate. Anyways, the bottom 60 percent of the country saves around $256. WOOHOOOO!!!! LET'S ALL GO OUT AND BUY NEW TV'S!!!!!! If you make 21,000 a year, you get less than $5. WHAT, IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE?!! THAT's RIDICULOUS!!!

Lemme ask you something Julibug. Have you ever read the Koran? Didn't think so. These guys are NOT following what the Koran teaches, which is PEACE. This does not go all the way back to Isaac and Ishmael.
