[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Ziyal: [QB] [QUOTE]The same thing it was supposed to accomplish last time: the protection of innocent lives, and the liberation of the enslaved. That's what most of our wars are over, at least in theory. [/QUOTE]Sure, we'd be protecting "innocent" American lives, but innocent Iraqi lives? Well, they're just in the line of fire and some people have to make sacrifices. Just because the country sits on a oil reserve doesn't mean we need any of it. Vietnam War? Well of course they can't be innocent if they're communist. How about innocent lives of young Americans who fought a needless war that accomplished nothing? How about the war where we stole land from Texas to California from under Mexico? It belonged to us, anyway, right? We gotta protect the innocent Mexicans from their own government, after all. Don't give me that load of shit. [QUOTE]nations probably should take it seriously when other nations try and kill their leaders. Maybe? [/QUOTE]By this "logic," Iraqis are should take it seriously that we are trying to kill their leader and retaliate, right? If Bush is justified to take revenge on his father's attempted assassination, then all the sons of Iraqis that have been killed or will be killed are justified to retaliate those who killed their fathers. It NEVER ends. So our superior powers stop them for a while. What do YOU do when your parents ground you for doing something you don't think is wrong? You get around them and do it anyway. The key phrase here is "you don't think is wrong." If Iraqis thought they were doing something wrong, they wouldn't be doing it. The only way to stop somebody from doing is to change their beliefs about that behavior, and there's no way we can do it if we believe the exact same thing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
