[QUOTE="DeadeSoul_697, post: 2921448, member: 110907"] Why didn't we do something about this action during the Iran/Iraq war phase when we were providing him with the weapons and funds with which he was attacking his own people? ...Oh yeah, it was in our best national interest to turn a blind eye. And how exactly did this make him worse than any of the other countless dictators that we ignore on a day to day basis? ...Because it isn't in our national interest to care. Sadam was one in a long line of dictators who was killing his own people. Sadly, that's an act that most countries including our own don't care about. READ THIS WELL... this never had anything to do with his attacks on the Iraqi people. Trying to justify it as that is just plain BS and ignorant. And this has been the same for any war we've been involved in. Protection of human life isn't the reason the US goes to war. It's a fact. So do lots of other people, but we aren't taking military action against them. This wasn't about liberation. Don't use liberation to justify this action. And I'm still waiting for a source on the 95% thing. Oh... and before we go further... I have both family and friends who have served in the military so don't both going down that route. - Matt [/QUOTE]
