JerrySeinfeld Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Posted September 26, 2006 The establishmen of a democratic west-friednly state in the middle of the middle east with a strong American miltary presence has stirred up all kinds of muslim fanatacism - which clearly illutrates Iraq's importance to the issue of terrorism.Sure, it proves my point that the US created a problem which did not exist before it invaded Iraq. If it had left Iraq alone there would less terrorism today and a reformist president would likely still be in place in Iran (the election of Ahmedinejad was yet another consequence of the American invasion).If you don't believe your lyin' eyes just ask bin laden who refers to the Iraq war as WWIII between the USA and Islamic radicals.Bin Laden can say whatever he wants - it does not make it true. haha - you know the western lefties are in serious denial if Bin Laden sees Iraq as an important front on terror v. the west and they still don't believe it...

IRAN or something worse... Quote
Riverwind Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 haha - you know the western lefties are in serious denial if Bin Laden sees Iraq as an important front on terror v. the west and they still don't believe it...Useless circular logic - Iraq was a no-go zone for Al'Queda under Saddam. The US created a power vaccuum and the fact that Al'Queda is trying to exploit it is no surprise. No matter how you spin you cannot escape the fact that the world is more dangerous place today thanks to GW and his useless 'war on terror'.

IRAN or something worse...We punch somebody in the face, discover that they hate us even more and now claim that punching them was justified because they 'hate us'? Ridiculous. The only way to stop the cycle of violance is it stop hitting back.I firmly believe that Al Queda would be footnote in history today if the US had not gone into Iraq.

Leaving the madman and/or the mullahs (I tend to think the latter) in control of Iran's destiny does not work.

Riverwind Posted October 1, 2006 Report Posted October 1, 2006 I'm for whatever works. Leaving the madman and/or the mullahs (I tend to think the latter) in control of Iran's destiny does not work.Iran was gradually reforming and opening up as a society until the US invaded Iraq. At that point the Mullahs put a halt to all reforms and ensured that Ahmedinejad would be elected. IOW, the invasion of Iraq is what triggered the showdown on nukes today. Trying to pretend that this is all Iran's fault is rediculous. One thing you seem to ignore is the fact that Pakistan is one coup away from putting nukes in the hands of the nastiest Islamic radicals around. Invading or attacking Iran over its nuclear program would be one way to ensure that such a coup happens in Pakistan. Quote To fly a plane, you need both a left wing and a right wing.

The United States is not prepared for that type of comittment of war, invasion and occupation. It would entail almost all able bodied people to be in uniform, rationing at home (like in World War 2) and an empire spread out across the planet. Quote

If allies are not prepared to join in perhaps we should let them go down the sewer. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."
