Why is it okay for us to be brutal in Iraq and it wasn't okay for Saddam?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Just trying to answer a question.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. Why do you hate America?

:sarcasm:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

9. Maybe because I'm a pinko, commie fag, latte drinking leftie lowlife?

:toast:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. Cool! So am I, except replace "fag" with "dyke"

:toast:

[5X]

17. Long-haired, hippy, radical, commie-pinko, freak.

This is the way I used to say it back in the 70's, and I
resemble that remark.

Edit:
Oops, remembered that I used to say freak, not fag.

Oh well, it was the seventies and there was free love,
free pot, ...what was I thinking?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

23. LOL! I'm right with you!

[derby378]

2. Because GOD told George W. Bush to invade Iraq...

...at least, that's what some Christofascists would tell you if they thought they could get away with it.

[marmar]

3. Didn't you get the memo?

Tyranny is O.K. when carried out by an advanced Western country, namely the United States. :grr: Do as we say, not as we do, except for Saudi Arabia - they can do as we do.

4. It's called Bush-style "freedom"

They had a free and fair election and appointed Bush as high lord executioner just like in Texas.

[grytpype]

5. Saddam wasn't being brutal for freedom.

Seriously, that's the reason.

[madokie]

13. and bush*co is?

[WinkyDink]

6. THANK YOU! I've been saying this to my husband! How many have WE

killed in Iraq, bringing them "FREEDOM", as opposed to the plain old "honest brutality" of Saddam?

[liberal N proud]

7. Because Sad dam was a bad man! No that's not it.

And George bu$h is a Christian American concerned about the WMD's, NO;
the connection to 9/11, NO;
Al Queda in Iraq, NO;
because the Iraqi people want Democracy, NO;

What is the reason we attacked Iraq again? I can't keep it straight anymore.

8. Your question is your answer. nt.

[G2099]

10. brutality is in the eye of the beholder

[rodeodance]

12. cause we are good guys!

[madokie]

14. and they're bad guys

[5X]

15. Perzactly. n/t

[H2O Man]

16. Read the Declaration of Independence .....

where Thomas Jefferson and Donald Rumsfeld explain that it is okay to be violent in a democratrical fashion, but not in a non-democraticist fashion. See, democracy and torture is not America's gift to the world, it's Bush's gaffe and Cheney's graft to the world.

[mmonk]

18. American exceptionalism.

We're under attack by fanatics so rules don't count. Christian superiority (god is on our side, therefore we can commit no sin and are superior beings). Terrorists don't deserve humane treatment and everyone we fight is now a terrorist whether in reality they are or not and there are no victims.

[DemonFighterLives]

19. Now that is a good question

In an attempt to answer, poppy tore up the place for his illegal war and now junior needs to tear it up to clean up the tell tale signs of poppy's mess.
Saddam was just a puppet and stood in the way of Osama.
:shrug:

[madrchsod]

20. you are not supporting the troops

why do you need to know? thinking only gets you into trouble....

[nuxvomica]

21. This is not brutality but rather "birth pangs"

Of course these birth pangs are the result of rape, are a threat to the health of the mother and could potentially produce an unwanted child but they are birth pangs nonetheless.

[subterranean]

22. Actually it was okay for Saddam for 3 decades.

Saddam's brutality wasn't the reason we invaded, anyway. But it did provide a convenient justification. He was a very bad man.

[NNN0LHI]

24. Actually many people are claiming we haven't been brutal enough yet

Thats the excuse I have been hearing a lot of lately for why we are losing.

25. I've been asking that question for

years and can't wait for the Bush trial.
