[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] I never said anything about being "right", only refuting that Iraq is now somehow worse off than under Saddam's regime. As to being "propagated by the media", that's nonsense- all that has been reported by Amnesty International long before Bush decided it was politically expedient to invade Iraq. You know, back when the US told it's citizens that the silly "no fly zone" was keeping order in Iraq- back when the US would loudly speak of winning the Gulf War while doing nothing to help Iraq get from under Saddam's control. Back when we told the Kurds we'd back them against Saddam and then left them to die at his hands. A lot of the mass graves "found" in Iraq were first seen back when Saddam's forces first dug them- during the cease fire, when UN sanctions were doing such a great job of pressuring him out of office. All of which was reported to the United Nations and the U.S. (by many human rights organizations in the mid-90's) and firmly ignored by both the politicians (many of whom still serve in congress) and the media. So much for "villification". :rolleyes: No one (not me anyway) is saying any of Bush's justifications for war were true, but face facts- we're there and need to finish what we started (in Afghanistan as well, obviously)- [i]seperate[/i] from any "war on terror".
