Iraqis Find Graves Thought to Hold Hussein's Victims

[Kebean PFC]

Still the wrong place, look at hmmm, anywhere in Africa, the mass graves from the multitude of genocides that have taken place there make Iraqi (alleged like their "wmds") genocide burial grounds look like candy land

Africa is totaly different. What would be accomplished by say, US invasion of the Congo? Or anywhere else? Only US deaths for no purpose. Africa cannot offer anything on the World Market yet, and until they are able to, no one will care.

I support the war in Iraq on the grounds that this guy could have cuased some serious problems in the future. Maybe this preventented a larger war later? I don't know, nor do i pretend to know, exactly what is going on over there, but i think it will all add up to a more peaceful Middle East in the future. But it will take time, and everyone wants it to be over, and have the US pull out. The Iraqi's think that becuase they have a security force and a president that they can fend for themselves. They cannot yet, and if we pulled out, the region would most likley descend into chaos.

What is it you anti war protestors want us to do? Pull out now, leaving what is left of Iraq to go back to small tribes fighting each other. They sit on one of the last large oil fields. ould you like to see that destroyed? Most of you don't even realise what you would lose as a result of that oil dissapearing. We will be in Iraq for a long time. There is nothing we can do now without harming the situation.

These people most certainly support Pope John paul II when he said the war in Iraq is wrong. However, their demand for consistency is flawed when they are not consistent themselves. They support the pope when it comes to denouncing the war in Iraq, however when it comes to Abortion, the Schiavo Case, or condom distribution they are inconsistent.

You assume that every body against the Iraq war agrees with everything the Pope says. That's ridiculous, and surely you should have recognized that.

This isn't jenny from the block having an opinion and agreeing with her one thing and not another. This is the pope's opinion. People picking and choosing to follow what he says just to follow party lines and make their opposition looks bad ends up making both sides looking bad.

Why exactly do you assume all people are forming their opinions on war in Iraq based off what the pope says? That doesn't make any sense at all.

The only assumptions I make are that some people complain that the US should be consistent with it's foregn policy. I also assume that these same people agree with the former pope's opinion about the war in Iraq being wrong.

How can they demand consistency when they themselves are inconsistent? May he who without sin cast the first stone, no?

Bodacious, that doesn't make any sense, at all. Just because my opinion on one single matter, the war in Iraq, happens to fall in line with the one held by pope John Paul II does not mean I have to agree with him on every other issue or risk becoming a hypocrit. I don't have the slightest clue where your logic is coming from, but it's flawed. It's like saying that since Hitler and I both agree on chess being a fun game to play, I should also agree that the Holocaust was great fun. Perhaps if I along with everyone else who thought the war was wrong looked to the pope as a moral leader, you would have some sort of an argument. As it stands I don't, and I'm certain that's true for many anti-war people beyond myself. It's not even close to being a valid or fair assumption on your part.

Ok, my point is to show that, people who are anti-war, in general, want the US to be consistent in their foreign policy, IE, quit setting dictators up and knocking them down; if this war was for humanitarian reasons as well, then we should have gone to and should go to a lot of other places, stuff like that.

k, you're not really fooling anyone, your comments are aimed at me ...so far so good ..but here's where you make a gaint leap:

They support the pope when it comes to denouncing the war in Iraq, however when it comes to Abortion, the Schiavo Case, or condom distribution they are inconsistent.

that makes little sense ..actually that makes no sense. There are millions of people who disagree with the war in iraq from all walks of life (not just lefties as you've been so kind to point out by mentioning the pope) ..it doesnt mean I agree with them on everything ..that would be kinda hard cuz I dont know them all personally ...and it'd probably take me a lifetime to meet them all. No time for chit-chat just a quick hello and off to the next person ..what with there being millions of people
