Tell that to the kid with no arms, mom, dad or sister, dipwadd. I'm
sure he'll understand.
IGNORANCE!
It's ignorant respones like this that I find sad. Yes, of course,
it's horrible that people are dying and being mangled in the war.
But far more lives are being saved.... "Tell that to the kid..."
Are you serious? What should have been said to the 60,000 people
Hussein gased in 1986 in Halabja? What should have been said to the
million Iraqi soilders sacraficed by Hussein when he waged war
against Iran (just as many Iranians died)? And how about the
thousands of Kuwait killed by the Iraqi army invasion just over a
decade years ago? What do you tell them?
I guess the world should stand by and do nothing more than
excercise diplomacy. (yeah, diplomacy with a guy who shoots a gun
in the air during every other public sppech.) Diplomacy never
worked. From the moment Hussein's army retreated from Kuwait over a
decade ago, he refused to meet rational terms set by the UN. 16 UN
resolutions and numerous sanctions later, he was still hiding
banned weapons. Moreover, he continued to use terror and inhumanity
to run his country -- while at the same time various European
countries continued to court questionable business deals with the
regime.
So, I ask you, what do you tell the families of the thousands
killed by Hussein's regime? Do you tell them, "Sorry, we are going
to continue playing diplomatic games with him because we're affraid
we might hurt one child in an effort to stop a regime that has
killed thousands, a regime that has been proven (not suspected) to
support terrorists, a regime that is responsible for starving to
death hundreds of thousands of children?" Get real.
