War questions.

[Epidemic]

here is a summary list of questions which address many of my concerns with the anti-war crowd.

1) If Iraqi citizens end up supporting the ousting of saddam and are ultimately happy would you consider it a good action or bad.

2) If saddam uses bio weapons on his own people would it change your position.

3) Do you think that the insignificant "lies" you say the government stated are important? Does the military have any obligation to inform us of every achivement and failure?

4) If the US did not play world police and did not force the UN to act in 1991 what do you think Iraq/saddam would be doing right now?

5) Is saddam a scumm sucking murdering sadistic evil man?

6) Where do you get your news from?

7) How would you suggest a people, who have lost the last three bids for freedom at great human costs, who are routinely oppressed and intimidated, win their own freedom?

8) where are you from and how old are you? I am almost 37, have served in the military, am an engineer, and live in the south east US.

9)If saddam says he has no chemical weapons, What are the 3000 chem suits, gas masks, atripene injectors... for?

10) With the peasants revolting against troops in bazrah does this look like an invaded people?

I had to change the wording a bit and have not due to a request to make the post less targeted.

sorry if the lead in is a little fuzzy but the questions are generally the to clarify the anti-war mindset and the muslim position.

Where does the Good member Epidemic stand on these points?

1) No saddam is satan
2) No Saddam is satan
3) The military is being brutally honest and I think they need to clam up.
4) We would have a nuclear conflict with Israel.
5) saddam a scumm sucking murdering sadistic evil man!!!
6) American media primarily about 70% from Fox alternating confirmation between fox web site and CNN websites. Occasional checks on arab web sites but they are beyond reason mostly IMO.
7) An external force must intervene to assist the oppressed population.
8) I am almost 37, have served in the military, am an engineer, and live in the south east US. I spent the first 30 years of my life in NY.
9) Simple, President of the United States of America provided this information months ago. Saddam has Chemical and bio weapons and plans on using them in all likelyhood.
10) at the very least there are cities of millions in iraq's southern and northern regions who are oppressed beyond belief and Those millions are taking action because of perceived weakness on the part of saddam's thugs

Good points Epidemic!

May I add: In the words of Rodney King: "Can't we all get along?"

And that brings up another point. The same anti-war people are more than likely the very same people who demanded swift and sure accountability for the 3 or 4 police officers who were involved with the R.K. incident. Where is the same level of outrage with this "So Damn Insane" guy?

It would appear that they don't care about people over there. Only here is what matters to them.

RK was an abuse of he situation IMO. But I am not a cop with my life on the line and adrenaline squirting out of my ears.

I agree, indeed endorse, Good Member Epidemic's bold and symbolic stand.

Another legit question...

How is it possible to support our troops and not support their mission? This seems contradictory.

[necromancer]

narayan, it's not that difficult to understand. Many people support the men and women in our military but not this war. Supporting the troops is more like showing respect for them because people care for them regardless of what they think about the war.


A better question would be.. How do the men and women in our military who do not support this war fight it?



LOL Epidemic. What kind of answer is that?

"1) If Iraqi citizens end up supporting the ousting of saddam and are ultimately happy would you consider it a good action or bad.

1) No saddam is satan"
