CITIZEN_2015 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Iranians citizens celebrate the death of this so called General while the extreme left and Arab terrorists condemning it burning American and Israeli flags. Enough said. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7851343/Palestinians-burn-flags-World-reacts-airstrike-death-Iran-commander-Soleimani.html The article says: Protesters across the West have gathered to condemn the US drone strikes following the death of Iran regime highest ranking general Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad In contrast, Iranian-Canadians danced in the streets of Toronto on Friday after the Pentagon announced it had killed Soleimani. They were joined by supporters of the US action in London, with British-Iranians holding placards saying 'Down with Khamenei' and others bearing the pre-Islamic Revolution flag of Iran. Toronto's Iranian community says The world is now a safer place as a result https://globalnews.ca/news/6362251/toronto-iranian-community-us-airstrike-demonstration/ WHEN the Americans are going to smart up and realize that taking out one cancer cell is not going to cure the disease and they have to take out the entire cancerous organ??????? The Europeans also must stop prostituting themselves to the mullahs and stop trying to make a deal with the devil. Edited January 5, 2020 by CITIZEN_2015 Quote

Almost as if their deaths and tortures had been.....trivial, to you. I'm not some evil monster who thinks people being killed or tortured is trivial. It is part of human nature though, and we'll never get rid of it, despite our best efforts. We should still try though. 1 hour ago, Marocc said: They changed the name of the country, they didn't cease to exist. They didn't just change their name, the union disintegrated and it split apart in a dozen pieces, the USSR ceased to exist as a political entity, and their economies went belly-up. That's the equivalent of the US losing the cold war, and all 50 states split apart from the union, became their own countries, and embraced communism after their economy imploded. In that case, the USA would cease to exist. Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.

Yes I would say shooting 1500 innocent defenseless young people including 400 women and 17 children in the back for just protesting economic hardship and while running away is crime against humanity which Iran regime committed against its own citizens just a month ago. Taking out the head of such force is crime against humanity? I am not so sure. It is called justice for all those grieving fathers and mothers who lost their children and were not allowed even to hold a public funeral. Edited January 5, 2020 by CITIZEN_2015 1 Quote
OftenWrong Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 The Dems will now use this to claim Trump is starting a war for his own personal reasons, to guarantee that he will not be impeached by the senate. They wont impeach a war president. So starting a war with Iran is his defence against impeachment. The man is so incorrigible, I tell you. But, the Dems tried. 1 Quote

OftenWrong Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) This guy's execution or whatever is the culmination of a crisis that's being brewing for a long time. The crisis in Iraq never stopped after the war, we just didn't hear about it very much anymore. Too busy in our media talking about other important things. US removed the dictator Saddam, and Iraq plunged into uncivil hell. However blessings of democracy were bestowed upon them, and the people voted. The people or Iraq being Shiites by majority... Shiites have risen in government, legally and fairly elected by a western democratic system, assisted in developing that electoral process by us, guided by us, managed, supported, financed, protected by military force even... to take power from the Sunni's and give it defacto to the Iranian Ayatollahs, whom to the Shiites revere literally as their pope. Hence today, the Iraq parliament is calling for the removal of all US troops from Iraq. What we see is the result of failed neocon foreign policy from the 1990's. Let's just hope this administration, and other world leadership knows what to do to avert a war and get things to settle down.

If Iraq and Syria was a success then their people would have demanded same kind of liberation but now the regime says if you revolve and remove us or US removes us by force Iran will be like Iraq and Syria. Iran of course will never become Iraq and Syria because it is an advanced nation. Finish the job US. Take out the cancerous organ not just a single cancer cell.

So in your leftist or extreme religious views killing the head terrorist responsible for thousands of innocent defenseless people women and children among them being shot in the back for protesting economic hardship is no better than the one who did the mass killings???!!!!!!!

The evidence of that is that he hasn't started any new wars that aren't in American's interest to fight, unlike Obama with Libya and Syria. Trump isn't appeasing the Iranian's and he isn't giving Russia a pass in Ukraine like Obama either. It's not even close, Trump is head and shoulders above Obama when it come to foreign policy, at least to this point.

Well, like I said in another thread along similar lines if we were serious about finishing the fight against tyranny that our grandparents started we'd think nothing about dispatching a couple of our army divisions and carrier groups to do what's right in places like Burma or Iran. Our grandparents dedicated 25% of their GDP to fighting tyranny but nowadays we depend on dictatorships for much of our GDP. We are what a real deadbeat nation looks like. It's just as well we don't have a couple of divisions and carrier groups I guess because we'd probably only put them to the wrong use.
