Napoleon,Hitler,now BUSH

a funny thing i heard... france is talking about weilding its veto in the security counsel to keep americans and the brits from running the reconstruction efforts... hmm... they dont care to help in the dirty work, but it looks like theyre ready to swoop in and claim what they can in the aftermath. there was also talk of the russians causing a stir over who would have control of the oil feilds in post war iraq. it would love to have a share in that, as it would eliminate a source of competition in the oil markets... i bet were all gonna be buying russian oil sooner or later though... as soon as they tap the imminsities that lie in the caspian region of georgia... i guess the point of this ramble is that the people with interests in iraq are doing whatever they can to look out for themselfs.. weather that was preventing a war, or now its gonna be lurking around waiting to snatch a peice of the post war iraq resources... silly french and russians...

actually, america did put saddam in power, or at least, they helped quite a bit. Saddam was just a hitman in the Bath party, he even tryed to assassinate iraq's former ruler, though that failed. saddam payed frequent visits to the american embacy in iraq. since iraq was considered to be in russian hands, the CIA helped out saddam by killing many key members of the existing government. saddam then rose to second in command of the country. when the leader died, saddam assumed leadership and killed many of his closest friends to keep that power. so, in conclusion, though saddam is a 'bad man' the united stats actually put him in power.

no the US didn't put him in power, it sounds like he took over after someone died and then killed everyone around who might protest against his rule. Thats quite different then the US putting him in power. Plus now with the benifit of hindsight we can see it was a bad move but at the time our biggest concern was russia and that helped to deal with that problem.

 
No, the biggest problem was the lack of vision and shortsightedness of US foreign policy. It still is. Too bad very few Americans actually understand that.

well since you know everything Jib_this you should run for pres, i'd vote for you since it seems like all of our countries problems would be solved with you in power.

What if our 'lack' of short sightedness could have had us loose the cold war to russia. Then we wouldn't have to worry about the problems that we are having now. Good point, I never looked at it that way before. I'm sick of people saying they know whats best for the past when looking back upon it. Even more so when you weren't alive to have a first hand opinion on the matter.

You're a moron, you need to be an American citizen to run for president. I'm automatically disqualified. Loser.

wow so you just really like getting involved in our gov't then. And how does not knowing you're not America some how make me moron, it’s not like I stalk you or care about where you’re from.

and thanks pete for opening my eyes. First off God is no one here on earth so that comment was just ignorant. I do see what the US is doing, when I turn on the TV and open the paper/magazines. The difference between us won't change, I realize that, My viewpoints are based on my background just like yours are for you. I see the benefits of the war where as you don't. Whatever, I'm not here to change anyone’s mind. Just to inform people of what a different viewpoint would be.

I'm getting pretty close to done posting on these though, since were down to the pathetic replies. Seems that the arguments have just run out. Thanks for the good discussion and for the few of you who actually did put thought into your posts, the insight I gained.

i know what are the pros of war. I also think that they do not outweigh the cons. I always try and look at things from a different perspective, all the time. Being agnostic, i have no religous ties, which means i can see most of other ppls view points. and i was kinda being sarcastic

I'm sorry, I forgot that me saying that many parts of US foreign policy have been/still are shortsighted was 'ignorant/pathetic' of me. I forgot that looking at the bigger picture and thinking about future consequences was also 'ignorant/pathetic'. Most of all, I forgot that it is oh so very hard to look at someone's profile before posting STUPID comments along the lines of 'why don't you run for president then', so that I would understand why someone wouldn't/couldn't run for president. I also forgot that I have no valid viewpoints, because I'm 'pathetic'. It's attitudes like yours that have gotten this world to the point of war, and it's attitudes like yours that will get us killed. Oh wait, I forgot...I'm 'pathetic'...

do you people have no idea about the whole oil thing works? Saddam wanted the oil in Kuwait so he could have more influence in OPEC and therefore fuck around with oil prices and shit like that and thats how the US got the oil after the first gulf war, they maintaned the status quo. It wouldn't surprise me if after this war they say to the new government of Iraq 'we're only going to back you up if you don't join OPEC and sell us your oil really cheap'.

Bellisimo... Its Italian for grouse
 
another thing Prins, what do you think would have happened if The US had have 'lost' the cold war? the Cold war wasn't a war to be won or lost all that happened was that one side simply didn't have a robust enough economy to sustain the arms race. if the boot was on the other foot all that would have happened is we might have the russians strutting around the world as if they owned the place and in my eyes that isn't much worse than whats happening now.

Bellisimo... Its Italian for grouse
 
THis week on Tv they said that saddan attacked Koweith becayse the kowetian were selling the money that Irak have to give them back to banks.

PAG
 
its Kuwait, and Iraq occupied the country. Not only because of a higher status in OPEC, but also because Kuwait is one of the richest countries on the planet. He pretty much raided the country

Sweet cut and paste job. Now take a look at most of the countries on that list. When the US has to pad its allies list with countries like Micronesia and the Marshall Islands, something's not right. How about Eritria and Ethiopia, both looking for US support in a boundary dispute. Most countries on that list are there because they want something for the US, or because they're getting something from the US in exchange for their support, much in the same way that the US tried, and failed, to bribe Turkey into letting them use military bases in Turkish territory to launch strikes against Iraq.

YES IT DOES MATTER. Many of those countries are on the list because they want something from you. Chances are they don't give a fuck about your war. Furthermore, anyone who's on that list due to aid or loans given out by the US government was BRIBED. Isn't it pathetic when the US government has so failed diplomatically that it has to resort to BRIBING countries into supporting a war which might be completely illegal when international laws are taken into account?

me: pepsi twist taste the exact same as normal pepsi.

well it may be that they don't need the military or political support to defeat Iraq, but if they can say that they have 40+ countries supporting the war, it provides an argument against war protesters, and helps uplift the American Image. Also, whats wrong with America wanting cheaper oil, even if it is only a minor issue?... Once America has set up their nice little democracy in iraq, they will begin selling oil to themselves and others. But insted of all the profits going straight to Saddam, maybe some of the money will infiltrate back into Iraq's economy helping out some of the Iraqi population, 2/3 of who depend on UN humanitarian Aid just to survive. Give the US a chance.

sorry mate, but chances are that the US will just install some other fucked up brutal dictatorship like they usually do. or it might not start off like that but it will probably end up like that.

Just for your information:

Countries that were supporting Hitler during World War II

Slovakia 1939-1945

Italy 1940-1943

Finland 1941-1944

Hungary 1941-1945

Romania 1941-1944

Japan 1941-1945

Bulgaria 1941-1944

Thailand 1942-1945

Croatia

 
Damnit, stop comparing this to World War 2. They are NOTHING alike.

-Andy

I am God... Please feel free to take a number, I'll be right with you.

 
You said Hitler didn't have support. Considering how many independent nations there were during WW2, I think he had pretty much support. But you're right they are not alike (unless this is a start for WW3).

 
I didnt say Hitler didn't have support! Read the posts before making comments like that.

I am God... Please feel free to take a number, I'll be right with you.

 
i think that list up above has a couple more supporting countries than your facist list. you cant compare apples with oranges.
