Re: Iraq just war
 

On that Anti-Americanism note......The biggest joke of an anti-American rally I have seen was held in Japan when Japan sent troops over to Iraq. The demanstrators where holding placards of the American flag with the swastika in the place of the stars, and comparing USA with the nazis. I was thinking at the time, "Hello, the nazis were your allies and you weren't much better than them, if at all!!"

and to cap it off, who had to look after the Japanese in Iraq?, Us Aussies.
:rotfl:

Iraq just war
 

AAs will cut any corner to rerach their goal: criticising America, usually crying crocodile tears in the process about how the US suddenly changed since:
o the Clinton Presidency;
o the Carter Presidency;
o the late Sixties;
o the Marshall Plan;
o the Second World War;
o the Roosevelt Presidency;
o the Founding Fathers;
o any other acceptable happening they can come up with.
ANYTHING GOES!

Pointing their binoculars towards the U.S. they see a corrupt regime, an almost dictatorial Leader, a government in shambles, a military without ethics, a people losing faith and a nation rotten to the bone.
Most of them observe the U.S. from a position of freedom that is - at least partially - gained with U.S. blood.
Next time something goes seriously wrong in the world people - including those AAs - will point the same binoculars towards the U.S. to see if help is on the way.
And the U.S. will comply.

Criticising America? Fine with me. Big country, great responsabilities, lots to criticise! You can even learn it from Americans themselves.
But please not with this hardly hidden pleasure of 'holier than thou', with the attitude of 'good for nothing' and the complete lack of historic accuracy that AAs are known for.

Yes the Iraq conflict was needed. It should have been finished by the first Bush but like idiots we listened to all the naysayers in the coalition. We new that Iraq would not meet the obligations they made to keep us from going to Baghdad the first time.

When this one is complete we should continue right on to dealing with Iran, Syria, and then North Korea. Add to the list anyone else who supports terrorism and/or threatens our national security.

:yep:

:up: You've got my vote.

My vote, too.

Considering the mess in Iraq, supporting the Afghans who want help and the hurricane disaster.How do you propose the USA could physically and economically be able to do this? Obviously you don't mind an increase in taxes and massive increase of US war dead. Do you honestly believe that North Korea and Iran will be a pushover like Iraq could and should have been? Especially Iran, they have a free live firing training ground next door to train and battleharden every fanatical muslim.

IMHO the 'Coalition of the willing' should have done away with Iran first and foremost. That was and is the home of the fanatical muslim.

and NO :nope: I am not anti-American, so DON'T even call me that.
