The greatest foreign policy lies.. and how can we work against them??
Ok i been chatting abit with rightwingers and these are the most common myths that they still hold regarding our foreign policy.

Now my question is how can we actually makethem see the truth??

1. Saddam was very religious and had extreme ties with al quaida

2. The US works against dictatorships in the middle east

3. The us does NOT support any dictatorship in the mid east

4. Iraq had tons and tons of wmds and the reason we didnt find them is because they are in syria right now

5. All arabs if they are free to chose will pick a western style democracy

Now the freepers believe this and they refuse to believe anything else..

I talked to one guy how iraq and iran didnt like eachother and he said well they are both islamic.. i said how iraq was socialist etc etc and saddam even had a christian in a very top position.

Well ofcourse it wasnt a true christian according to the rightwinger.

anyway this is troubling me these guys still think Bush did these guys and the whole world a mega favour, i think this is a big part why so many ppl still support Bush because they see him as some sort of christian saviour of the mid east.

Anyway i wish there was a way to enlighten them
