Real American Heros

[Crono]

Well said, gekko. Well said indeed.

As for people not having power in their own government, Stalin once said:

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing, those who count the votes decide everything."

[Ace195]

Right on gekko, so help me if I ever hear anyone that I know dis on anything that happens overseas.. It's on... Jonbo ominub hero.. you know who you are.

Yes, real American heroes who are showing sympathy to the poor Iraqi people by expressing how they are against the war that freed them from a brutal tyrant who murdered 50,000 Iraqi citizens a year (1.5 million in total over 30 years).

Yay for them. What a wonderfully ignorant, useless and tasteless gesture.

[Ace195]

I think I speak for all the guys in my office when I say it makes us sick that people, show their true colors in that way.

How do you kill 50k per year? I mean seriously that would require a lot of work. That's over 136 people per day.

[Yoda9864]

It would require some work, which exemplifies how much of a sadistic bastard Sadaam was.

Here's a question for you. Suppose you had found Saddam in a room somewhere and with him is an innocent child who is crying and screaming "please don't let me die" over and over. Now all you have with you is a grenade, so in order to kill Saddam you have to kill the child too. So considering that Saddam has killed thousands of people and will potentially kill more in the future, would you feel justified in blowing up the kid along with Saddam? Keep in mind you are going to be forced to tell the child's crying mother afterwards and explain why you had to kill her child.

What I'm getting at is that it's no secret the U.S. has killed thousands of civilians, including children, over the past several years during our fights with Iraq. It's easy to dismiss these casualties as unfortunate necessities when you aren't the one pulling the trigger, but if you knew you would be directly responsible for their deaths, would you maybe feel differently?
