Almasurah, duh!

hmmm ok...

I'm not going to make a list.

And why not?

It's actually the destruction that needs to be started, but stopping production is a good place to start.

And what are you waiting for to begin the destruction?

Because you don't seem to comprehend anything on your own, only regurgitate what someone else said. You can't say "We shouldn't have attacked Iraq because there are worse places" unless you actually know about those places. Unless you've actually done the research, don't bother trying to state a point. I don't want to hear what you heard some guy on CNN say.

Oh come on! Do I really need to posts links to show you that a lot of other countries are way worse than Iraq? You are just being lazy here and avoiding the argument.

Personally? No. But do I were in their shoes, I would hope someone would do the same for me. I don't know these people, but I do think the US is doing the right thing by fighting for people who can't fight for themselves. We have two choices, sit back and watch thousands of people getting killed, or do something about it. I say we should do something.

Do what? Remove the leader to put another one? What will that change? The country is devided, there will always be a group of people that won't agree. So trying to make 1 peaceful country with them is almost impossible, at least right now.

You made an argument that the US shouldn't go into Iraq because there are worse places. But in all reality, you don't care. In other words, you just hate America. But don't worry, America hates you.

Look, I don't "hate" america, it's not because I'm don't agree with some of the stuff it does that I hate them. I use the "other places" argument to argue with your "we went to save the Iraqis" argument, wich I believe is ****. Look, you said it yourself, you don't personnally care about them.

Strategic importance to everything. By taking away the biggest threat to Middle Eastern countries, you allow room for change. Iraq is also the best place to setup a democracy, since they are the most educated out of the Middle East. They also have tons of oil, which in turn means money to allow them to develop as a country. Then you set an example, and it begins to rub off onto other Middle Eastern countries. There will likely be a revolt in Iran, the Israel/Palestine conflict is moving forward better than anyone could've imagined, and North Korea has all but shut up. If there is one place in the Middle East that has the best chance of being a successful democracy, it's Iraq.

Wow, you really think that the Arabs will get along with the Jews and/or US (or anybody else for that matter) in a near future? Well at least you're optimistic.

Wow, you got lost. My reply had nothing to do with doing anything.

I said: "Don't you find it odd that it's still chaos over there..." you took that part of the phrase and replied: "No. Afghanistan was the same way, or did you not pay attention?" So I assumed that you meant that it wasn't a suprise if it was still chaos, because Afghanistan was still in chaos and it's been years. Now if it's not what you meant correct me, but if it is, read my reply again.

Because it wasn't destroyed in the process. It also provides a lot of jobs.

I'll agree with you, it's probably good for their economy, but it's certainly good to yours, isn't?

You're catching on.

What's with the belittling? Can't you argue in a mature way?

It does come full circle, it's supposed to. American tax payers do not want to pay for the rebuilding of Iraq

Then don't destroy it.

therefore, Iraq will pay to rebuild itself. US companies have always been getting oil from the Middle East, they do not have the technology to do it themselves.

Yhea, but there is no need to **** them in the process.

US construction companies are also some of the best in the world, and ones that our government have contracts with, and know what they are capable of. Any surprise they would choose them? No. The US isn't getting rich off of Iraqi oil, the only money from Iraq is going to the reconstruction of their own country, something they need, and for the oil companies to develop the oil fieds, something that oil companies have always done.

The US government would be proud of you!!
