A soldier's viewpoint

[Undertoad]

You can pretend to care about the Iraqi civilians, but you don't really, right? You really only care about winning a political point.

After all, Hussein was better at killing them than we are, half a million died under sanctions, and if the country falls into a state of anarchy there is the possibility that millions more will die.

We have seen watched videos of them having their tongues cut out, arms cut off, having their hands tied and being shoved off the roof of a multi-story building to teach the populace a lesson. And those were the ones who didn't wind up in plastic shredders or mass graves. What do you say to such things? You ever point them out?

Because Amnesty International didn't, even though it was their job; they made excuses for the regime to curry favor with their donors.

You don't want to solve their situation; you would have many more of them die. You just want the right to brainlessly complain about it.

Also, the Vatican is regularly extremely moronic on many matters of foreign affairs. They should shut the fuck up and manage their own house.
