Daddy, Why did we invade Iraq?
- Thread starter hermolt
- Start date
Q: Why? What does a cruel dictator do that makes it OK to invade his country?
A: Well, for one thing, he tortured his own people.
Q: Kind of like what they do in China?
A: Don't go comparing China to Iraq. China is a good economic competitor, where millions of people work for slave wages in sweatshops to make U.S. corporations richer
Sums it all up, really

great read..thx for the link
Q. But daddy, why did we invade them when they offered this?:
-Allowing US inspectors to visit Iraq to inspect for WMD;
-Holding free and fair elections within a specified period of time;
-Concessions to the US in the oil sector and "business dealings";
Concessions to help the Arab-Israeli peace process;
-Handing over Abdul Rahman Yasin, a top al-Qaeda suspect wanted in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
A: Er... ummm...we don't do deals with dictators.
Q. But what about Pakistan?
A. They are our friend.
etc...

very clever... loved every minute of it 
Q: So the French and Germans are evil, too?
A: Not exactly evil, but just bad enough that we had to rename French fries and French toast to Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast.
Q: Do we always rename foods whenever another country doesn't do what we want them to do?
:funny:

Man, I hope the US never go to war against Mexico, I wouldn't like to go to Del Taco (yes I live in the US) to buy "freedom rolled tortilla with meat inside" or something of the like.

Del Taco's the ****. My friend and I ate there on a long bus trip and we were ****ting and farting all the way home, much to the shagrin of the rest of the bus.
Clever read. I should write one of my own.
Son: Why do human rights activists complain about innocent people being murdered, tortured, worked to death, and imprisoned because of political beliefs, but then complain when the governments of those countries are displaced?
Daddy: That's not the point. We just have to pretend to care because it makes us feel good inside.
Son: So you only do things to make you feel good inside?
Daddy: Yes, and because we hate President Bush. He looks like a monkey, stole the election, can't say nuclear, is a cowboy unilateralist, and only went to war to give Haliburton a good contract.
Son: I get it! So why is it that the Democratic Party is becoming irrelevant in the USA?
Daddy: Oh that's because of the Patriot Act and being silenced by the government.
Son: Who has been silenced, can you name someone?
Daddy: No, we only say it for propaganda purposes because the more you tell a lie the more truthful it becomes.
Son: Thanks Dad, I can't wait to be like Moron!!

...and the 'oh, we should've used the Saddam's-an-oppressive-dictator-that-we-supported argument. Leaving out the part where we say how much support we gave him at the height of his attrocities bit of course' resurfaces. The argument surrounding Iraq has become so predictable. Maybe another case for the war should be found. I know, how about money. It hasn't been tried before...
It's obvious that anyone concerned about the real motives behind the war are pro-Saddam, and that everyone pro-war before it all kicked off were really, really concerned with the welfare of the people of Iraq. The whole argument seems to have gone North-South.

Not pro-Saddam, just unwilling to do anything about him. That's the point I was trying to make about Human Right's activists. I hear them complain, but when the man is removed, they complain about innocent people being killed in the process. The main point is.. you can't have it both ways. Either you have Saddam killing thousands upon thousands for years and years to come, or some thousands for a year or 2 and hope the torture and murder doesn't continue after the US leaves.
The pro war people were concerned about the welfare of Iraqi civilians or they would have just advocated carpet bombing the whole country. But more importantly, war supporters were more worried about the welfare of their own citizens after 9/11 happened.
Whether that is right or wrong is always up for debate.
