November 17, 200520 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) Death toll #'s...? But there's more people in TWO HOURS that died on 9/11. Don't get me wrong, all lives are equally important. Now I'll get the "but but but but but but but 9/11 and Iraq ARE NOT connected"... but they are. Iraq may not have been a part of the planning for 9/11, but they had a state-sponsored terrorist program, and the rhetoric for years was to sabre-rattle Isreal and the US. I'd rather all the people (terrorists) go into Iraq then here and kill more of us who aren't trained to be in a war setting.

Innocent people? How many he would kill if left alone? Is 2000 American lives worth giving 25 million their first tase of freedom and maybe causing a snowball effect of peace in the middle east? In my honest opinion, yes, it is damn well worth it. And there are more Gold Star mothers that agree with me than agree with Cindy Sheehan.

Eye.. at this point staying there has NOTHING to do with Sadam anymore. I never said we shouldn't have stopped him. But last time I checked he was in a prison cell and no longer murdering "his people". Give them the tools to act like humans rather than animals, and get the hell out of there. Those idiots will never stop killing eachother no matter what is done.

If we leave now, there will be another despot take control over there and all this will have been for nothing.
November 17, 200520 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) Then just say that was the reason. I have a problem with the lying. Went back to this post to say ... I totally agree.

And, which is selfish, I don't want to ever, EVER read a post here hearing that something has happened to NUKE...

I think a solid foundation of freedom, democracy and legitimate government will conquer terrorism. That's why they're fighting back so hard. They know if Iraq is stabilized they're screwed, just like we know if it;s not we're screwed. Democracy is screwed.
