Tuesday: their lives aren't being destroyed, that is a liberal media slant, they are being liberated now without fear of retribution for innocent actions as they were before, but that won't be reported until the end of janruary,
Otsikko: Re:.is it ok if they bomb your home, kill your family just to make life better for the survivors......doesn't make sense.
Tuesday: LOL, I dont see you complaining about being one of the survivors whos life is better because other people were killed in the name of your freedom?
What about our civil war???? What about Hitler??? The only reason you enjoy the life you have today is because somebody else life was destroyed!
Just because you dont see it doesnt mean there werent people screaming and crying in the streets when people were dying to give you your life?
Just like you would give your life to save the life of your child, its the ultimate sacrifice, and yes it sucks, but it is ignorant to believe that it is wrong to sacrifice some life for the greater good of the lives of others
Take the example of a hostage situation... it is common and accepted practice to risk the lives of some of the innocent hostages in order to save the lives of some, and end the crisis. Yes, you will see some family members screaming and crying when they learn that it was their loved ones who were the unfortunate killed in the rescue attempt, but that has never stopped us from having a policy to attempt rescues in those situations!
Thats how I see Iraq, the people there were being held hostage by Saddam and his regime, they needed outside help to end that crisis, and some of them were at risk of dying in the process of liberating the many and for the overall good for future generations!
Otsikko: Re:.is it ok if they bomb your home, kill your family just to make life better for the survivors......doesn't make sense.
Tuesday: So now i expect your next post to put down all the people who died for your freedom... same as you put down people dying for the freedom of future generations in Iraq?
Vikings: their lives aren't being destroyed...why don't you go take apoll over there and ask the ones who have had family members killed,lost the only home they have ever known if their lives are being destroyed...They are being liberated...but at what cost??
Otsikko: Re:why don't you go take apoll over there and ask the ones who have had family members killed,
anastasia: I have personally been to Vietnam, the same anti war hippies said all the same things about that war as they are saying about Iraq, I have spoken to many many people in Vietnam and I never spoke to one person who was against what we tried to do there, and these are people who lost family members and people who were themselves jailed and tortured for many decades because of what we tried to do there! The only regrets these people had were that we pulled out of that fight and left them without finishing what we started!
I have no reason to believe Iraq will be any different, the worst thing we can do now is leave them before the job is finished, and in 20 or 30 years from now the future generations will only have thanks for our efforts and they will wonder why the rest of the world was not there to help!
Who was it? Roosevelt who left office with a terrible approval rating and now many decades later history shows him to be one of our greatest presidents ever! I believe history will treat Bush much the same way too!
tazman7474: It irritates the crap outta me when you drive by in the morning and it is one price,drive by 2 hours later and it is up 20 cents...they're workin off the SAME tanks of gas they were 2 hours ago! please
