We can play this game with the Taliban too.  |
Straw man arguments ROCK!! So lets say your best friend is always over. Never done you wrong. You helped him out tons of times, you took him from dirt poor, and showed him how to get the better things in life. Your friend becomes successful and well off. Then one day you come home and find him fucking your wife, and you kick his ass. Does your wife turn to you and say.. "Its your fuckin fault honey. YOU are the one that helped him get to where he is in life, and I found him really sexy now that he is successful. See what you did dumbass?"
Doesn't fucking matter where we were in the past. If an Allie turns against you he is no longer an Ally. And you cant be blamed for helping them get to the point where they had the power to fuck with you.
Enough with the dumb arguments. Saddam was bad. He was an ally when we needed him to be. He turned against us, and we took him out. He had PLENTY of chances after the first Gulf war to get his shit back together. Do some reading on what him and his sons did to Kuwaitis THEN come back to the thread. Its pretty hard to find the info now days, been buried in the SE's by a bunch of lefty sheep. Ive talked FIRST HAND to Kuwaiti immigrants that went through that shit. Nashville has the largest population of Kuwaitis in the U.S. So I know what he did. He was a monster after he got that power. Unless the U.S. has some experimental Crystal ball they can see the future with you can't blame his bullshit on them years after we helped him. Its stupid.
Maybe the rest of the world that hates the U.S. can blame France for helping us way back when. lol Stupid strawman arguments.
