Yeah, your right about how that term could have sounded. Or even should have sounded.
It is not by statistic that I compare the level of evil in Hitler versus Hussein. It is by action and intent. I agree that Stalin or Mao take the cake.
Here's a question, not really for you Padraic... Has the quality of life (for those left alive) improved since liberation? In either country? Were there as many car bombs under Hussein?
Perpetual war for perpetual peace. We were warned about this.
If it is a war on terror, wouldn't there be a net decline in the amount of terror if the wars were ended? Or is brown people terror not as valuable as others? If I were Iraqi, wouldn't by definition the Americans be terrorists?
No War.

Quote:I can't remember anyone ever suggesting they did.Dotard did suggest that Afghanistan and Iraq posed a threat to a country (Be it America or Britain or any other) if only by saying that the war is just. A just war is a defensive one, and preemptive attack doesn't cut it.
