A good soldier is diciplined and does what he is told to do, even if he disagrees. I respect someone with that attitude.Tyler Roothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10590087874758848506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917399.post-1127837693900824772005-09-27T10:14:00.000-06:002005-09-27T10:14:00.000-06:00That's cool Mr. Anonymous (by the way, don't be af...That's cool Mr. Anonymous (by the way, don't be afraid to leave your name here, I'm not going to attack you). I appreciate your reply to what I wrote, but you never really refuted any of my facts. <BR/><BR/>The fact is, Iraq IS/Was a powerful country. They harbored terrorists. We didn't like that, so we go into liberate their people, get them on our side (when I say our, I say our allies in the area that does include Saudi Arabia, Isreal, etc.) Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Lebannon, etc. are still dangerous countries, but if we get the country in the middle of it all (Iraq) on our side, then we have a better fighting chance when the shit hits the fan and we go into places like Syria, Lebannon, and possibly Pakistan and Iran (although both have pretty stable governments that claim they are against terrorism). <BR/><BR/>I know you have some points/reasons to hate Bush. Like I said, I'm not in 100% trust of the person (but that is how I feel about pretty much every politician). Still, I am trying to look at the good in all of this. If you read the link, the president (who was voted for by the people of Iraq) has said his people are happier. Does that not make you feel a little better about the situation?<BR/><BR/>You called this war a big "Rhetorical Argument" for us to rally around the president? What exactly are you saying? What is the reason we went into Iraq then? Do you honestly believe it was for "oil" or for "Haliburton". I HIGHLY doubt this was the main reason for war. Bush is not a person that get's giddy over deaths. I don't see anyone in our political representation that I would say is "giddy" over people dieing (yes, even the liberals). <BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for replying (whoever you are). I honestly appreciate you taking the time. Just curious what you really feel about the situation.Tyler Roothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10590087874758848506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917399.post-1127800184325023882005-09-26T23:49:00.000-06:002005-09-26T23:49:00.000-06:00First of all, where do you get that Iraq is the mo...First of all, where do you get that Iraq is the most powerful country in the middle east? Last time I checked, they were pretty powerful back in the day, you know like thousands of years ago when Iraq was called Babylon. Then they really did control most of the known world! But in most of recent history, they are a developing country with a crappy army. Before the first gulf war, they had spent years and years fighting Iran, and they couldn't win! Even with help from the land of the free and home of the brave, they couldn't beat Iran. I would have to vote that Saudi Arabia is much more powerful in the middle east than Iraq. Their oil revenues are much bigger, and they are much richer. Israel is even more powerful than Iraq, (mostly because they can do no wrong because we like them and give them nice presents like helicopters and tanks they use to kill Palestinian "terrorists.") I believe that the war in Iraq more than anything, including oil, freedom, democracy or anything is one big rhetorical exercise to give us something to rally behind the president about. He makes us afraid of the threat of terror, and we will support anything he does in the name of ridding the world of the evil freedom haters. Don't think that I'm just another liberal hating the president, before the war started I was a republican! I started looking at both sides of the issue for a report, and I couldn't find very many good reasons (like almost none,) to go to war with the people of Iraq. That's all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
