    The End Of All War Protests

    I'll tell you what, all you anti-war hippies.

    Give me an argument in favor of Saddam. It's very easy to critisize America, because we're the instigator in the public eye. But give me a good defense for Saddam to remain in power.

    If you can defend him, I'll listen, but I don't think there's anything to justify his regime maintaining control.

          So there really is NO defense for Saddam?

          C'mon, now, there's GOT to be SOME reason that we've had millions of people turning out to protest the war.

          There has to be a reason Boneprone's car got fucked with.

          There's got to be a reason people are intentionally trying to "shut down cities" in the name of peace.

          I really want to know.

              Leaving him in office is de facto supporting him. Leaving him in office frees him to continue to murder and oppress his own people!

                  I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                  I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                    I didn't say that the consequence of their actions doesn't have that effect.

                      Why is it a stupid question?? If you're not for his regime being disposed of, then you're for it remaining.

                      My question is why? What benefit is there?

                        I'd say a lot of it is how we're going about it, why we're going about it, and the neglible effect it will probably have on terrorism. Not support for Saddam personally, which would just be silly to believe.

                          because you're asking a loaded question. Being against THIS war is not the same as getting rid of Saddam.. talking for weeks about 3000 missles shocking and awe-ing iraqi citizens probably boosted protester support.

                            Reason for people in the streets ( akll cut and paste from your question):

                            - protest the war


                            For war = against Saddam

                            Against war = against war + against Saddam
                            I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                            But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                Saddam's my daddy!

                                He's actually a really nice guy, he just has a few issues!

                                I think he just needs some counselling and a bit of group therapy!

                                          This argument has been raised in depth a billion times on the board (in one form or another). And niether side did much to change the opinion of the other. I think the only reason you aren' t hearing Joe Six's views here, is because he's getting tired of arguing the same points on the same subject.

                                          It's hard to convince someone the sky REALLY isn't blue, when he plainly sees it to be so.

                                            Yes, it is a loaded question. But since we're in a situation where there's nothing to reverse it, the question now becomes:

                                            Why should we NOT be doing this? It really makes sense to take this course of action, IMO. The lesser of two evils.
                                            1. Wait for UN sanction so US doesn't ostracise half the world, and strain relationships for years to come.
                                            2. It solidifies Pre-emptive doctrine, meaning North Korea could legitimately launch nukes at the US tomorrow.
                                            3. Weapons Inspectors could have kept Saddam caged indefinately or until multilateral UN commitment for military disarmament. each month would have meant more missiles being destroyed even if newer ones were being made or purchased.
                                            4. More angry muslims = more domestic terror attacks.
                                            5. Takes funds and focus of catching real terrorists like Bin Ladin.
                                            6. He's only hurting his own people or his neighbors, of which Israel could handle him, the CIA guys said Saddam is nothing but a political target with no ties to Alquaeda.

                                            those are probably a few of them.. you'd have to ask around though.. it's not as if im a protestor.

I think the only reason you aren' t hearing Joe Six's views here, is because he's getting tired of arguing the same points on the same subject.

                                              It's hard to convince someone the sky REALLY isn't blue, when he plainly sees it to be so.

                                              I told you already, Saddam's my Daddy!

                                              He's a good guy who just gets bad press.

                                                I'll tell you what, all you pro-war hippies.

                                                Give me an argument in favor of Bush. It's very easy to critisize Iraqi, because we're the instigator in the public eye. But give me a good defense for Bush to remain in power.

                                                If you can defend him, I'll listen, but I don't think there's anything to justify his regime maintaining control.

                                                  1. Wait for UN sanction so US doesn't ostracise half the world, and strain relationships for years to come.
                                                  2. It solidifies Pre-emptive doctrine, meaning North Korea could legitimately launch nukes at the US tomorrow.
                                                  3. Weapons Inspectors could have kept Saddam caged indefinately or until multilateral UN commitment for military disarmament. each month would have meant more missiles being destroyed even if newer ones were being made or purchased.
                                                  4. More angry muslims = more domestic terror attacks.
                                                  5. Takes funds and focus of catching real terrorists like Bin Ladin.
                                                  6. He's only hurting his own people or his neighbors, of which Israel could handle him, the CIA guys said Saddam is nothing but a political target with no ties to Alquaeda.

                                                  those are probably a few of them.. you'd have to ask around though.. it's not as if im a protestor.
                                                  Thank you. That's all I was asking for.

                                                            heres a few questions...

                                                            this all boils down to the weapons inspections.

                                                            1. exactly how long were the inspections carried out, and did iraq comply with all of the demands?

                                                            - it seems to me if the inspections were carried out for a course of years, and the iraqi government wouldn't allow them to conduct the inspections accordingly over a long period of time... then obviously action must be taken right? theres no reason NOT to allow those inspections, only if he had something to hide. which is reason enough to go through with what we're doing now.

                                                            i'd hope you all agree that if indeed the weapons inspections were carried out over a long period of time, and we gave them chance after chance after chance, that some sort of action must be taken. we asked for the help of the UN with the information and they backed down. why? did they think iraq would eventually GIVE in?

                                                            i'm just unclear of how the inspections went. clarification??

                                                                  Well the real question may be why go after him when we support people who do essentially the same thing. There's alot of shit going around about how he tortures his own people and whatnot. If you're really concerned about that look at what they do in China, Brazil or pretty much anywhere else your clothes are made. The reason it's cool for them to torture their people is that the USA gets big money out of their labor. The USA can only get money out of Iraq if there's a regime change and we start trade with them.

                                                                  As far as more practical reasons for everyone who doesn't care and thinks that's just the way capitalism should work, see bhutocracy's post.
