[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE][qb]The point I was making about the hypocrisy of Liverpool is that we must indulge them mourning for one man who died in a warzone (I don't give a s**t how he died, he went into the middle of a wartorn country filled with islamic extremists who had already done this sort of thing) and yet any suggestion that we even acknowledge that it was wrong to let thousands of the natives die is met with rabid cries of 'it's war, this sort of thing happens!!! We're not the bad guys, we're liberating them!!!!' It's war, there are no 'good guys'.[/qb][/QUOTE]Well, the people of Liverpool were 100% behind the war in every way, and any mention of the large numbers of Iraqi deaths is met with fingers in the ears. That's why they all read the resolutely anti-War Mirror, and not the pro-War Sun. They are being ironic. And I'm all for slagging off the American government, but not giving a sHIt sHIt sHIt that an ordinary bloke from Liverpool got his head cut off just because you don't like Bush makes as much sense as going to war against a country because terrorists from another country blew up one of your buildings. And I mean no disrespect, but the "there are no good guys in war" attitude is a very first year political student opinion to have. It's all very well looking at and trying to understand other points of view, but there comes a point where you have to stamp your own idea of morality onto any given situation. Whether you think that the war itself was justified, you can't seriously claim that Bush is just as "evil" as Saddam. Misguided, yes. An idiot, certainly. But on the whole, a better choice. (Not that that gives him the right to impose his will on another country, but we're already down that road and it's too late to do a U-turn). [/QB][/QUOTE]
