If any adult men take that virgin-claptrap seriously it means they are seriously retarded.

Unfortunately, there's still a very large number of people around the world, certainly including adult men, that take the promises or statements of their religions seriously.
What else can you make of a culture that degrades women and gays, encourages some to live in splendor while the vast majority live in misery, and glorifies death?

I think that's the thing - bombing civilians directly wasn't consider a war crime during WW2 but is now. I think it's advance for peace for the world to reject the targeting of civilians.

If we fought WW II in a matter that constitutes and "advance for peace" we'd all be speaking German.

Specifics ? Sounds like you're saying Germany would have won the war I'd we didn't bomb German civilians.

The Allies did many bombing runs of cities. Dresden is the most notable one. The Allies firebombed Japan for some time before the two atomic bombs were dropped. Germany and Japan had taken part in the same activities against the allies.

So in a war, civilians are an acceptable target.

Rules of war? Geneva Convention? They mean nothing.

And we'd probably still all be talking about the same old crap.

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

The giveaway was when the US started embedding journalists and taking other measures to keep their atrocities under cover.

And why? Why did the US military get to the point at which they were gleefully murdering Iraq's people when Iraq was completely guilt free of any connection with 9/11?

Because Saddam screwed up years before 9/11 and had to go bye-bye. "Even" Canada bombed him.

You can't rewrite history b_c. If Saddam screwed up it was with US assistance.

I don't have to rewrite history. Saddam had to go as a matter of U.S. Public Law, in 1998. By any means necessary...it worked...Saddam is in "heaven".

That had sometimes been referred to as "collateral damage" except that term denotes that the damage is unintentional or accidental. Civilian casualties are now "expected" in these military expeditions and deemed "acceptable" by the perpetrators and "murders" by the recipients.

A lot of the civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan were 'collateral' damage from Muslim terrorists, but nobody seems to be unduly upset at that.

That might be answerable if your entire proposition wasn't fantasy born of extremism and hate.

I hope another country makes it their public policy to oust the POTUS. Fair is fair.

Many have made it private. Making it public is at least being honest and upfront.

Up front and honest? Where are those WMDs?

Good question. Why did Saddam pretend to have them? Why did he break the ceasefire agreement he signed? Why did he violate multiple UN resolutions? You know, if he didn't do all of that stuff, your buddy would still be in power. And he'd be able to continue his relationship with your other buddy in Russia.

Why would he pretend to have them? Remember all the stuff Powell trotted out based on the evidence (that we now know was completely false to begin with) that 'Curveball' had given the US?

They are not my buddy, guy.

But for all those that would be ok. However the US did not portray the need to invade from those reasons stated above. Instead we got reasons like loosely tied to 9/11, rhetoric about a mushroom cloud (aka fear mongering) and, because they are Muslims.

We all know Iraq was in no position to threaten anyone after the first Gulf War.

And gosthacked, you also need to make it clear to the Americans that we know they didn't believe that Saddam had the WMD's all along. Some people excuse their Nazi tactics by claiming they didn't know and couldn't take a chance.

But then, if you continue to sympathize with the Zionists, there's little point in tryinig to convince you of anything.

Sure wish you would get over your stubbornness and clare that one up!

Iraq had poison chemicals (and used themon people), which the US considers to be a weapon of mass destruction.

The US stockpiles and supplies other countries with the biggest and most evil weapons of mass destruction known to man. While at the same time pretending that weapons that are not frequently used in their arsenal of death and destruction become WMD's. These are invariably weapons that are of little use to the US because of their lack of effectiveness and lack of ability to kill hundreds or sometimes thousands of victims in one attack.

In truth, a weapon of mass destruction is a weapon that is capable of causing mass destruction. It doesn't get anymore straight forward than that. And so, by an extension of logic, the US is the country that is most guilty of the use of weapons of mass destruction.

And that by logical extension of the argument, leads us back to the reason why ISIS is intent in forming an Islamic state in the ME. Islam will attempt to consolidate itself in order to fight back against US aggression.

with......................... their own weapons of mass destruction.

Only complete fools would continue to align ourselves with the US and the only fools are those who let Harper align Canada with US evil which motivates entities such as ISIS..

Are you calling Canadian voters "complete fools" ? How about the millions of Canadians who will cross the U.S. border for shopping and a winter paradise ? Or pipelines...or bridges....or media....or lettuce from California !
