""I just can not and prbably never will be able to see why when peple see evil they do nothing. WHY? ""

Nor I Hermit.
I am glad we went into Iraq and took Saddam out.
We are the only country who could.
I am not ashamed of liberating...YES LIBERATING.. those abused poor people.
I am ashamed that we did business with him in the first place...and I am ashamed that we knew what he was doing and did nothing until we thought our own pot was going to boil.
I feel the same about Rwanda , Somalia and other places where millions of people are starving amd dying. We cannot do it all alone but every civilized country should stand together. IMO

RandalDS, maybe you can help me here. To my dying day, I really do not think I will ever be able to figure out why and how if there is a problem, say a child abuser, and other people around KNOW this evil exists and they do nothing.
I just can not and prbably never will be able to see why when peple see evil they do nothing. WHY?

[randalds]

That's an old and worn out ploy. Yes Saddam was a terrible dictator and a monster. Pointing out that Bush is a much bigger monster is not an attempt on my part to lessen Saddam's guilt. Quite the contrary. Bush is just a much more accomplished as*shole then Saddam, so that might even be looked upon as a compliment.

[hermit22]

RandalDS, what would you call the man who produced "28 funerals in my family" as one Iraqi said.Would you call him, "the friendly guy next door."? I have a friend over in war country who says they "hide in the house" and when they come and go the hope is that "nobody does anything crazy".People hide because of terror.

When Saddam hangs, will he be thinking, "Oh, I sure wish Kerry were in office, but oh no, I got stuck with Good Old George and he dun me in!"

[hermit22]

HI RandalDS! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In the long run, I think Old George is right in putting up the dukes with old Saddam.byebyebutcher.

In the long run history will rightly record Bush as the much, much, much bigger butcher and certainly the more hated man.

[randalds]

Of course Ford is right to dismiss Bush's reasons for invading Iraq. No other president would have done it because it was such an obvious nightmare in the making. The only way to "win" an invasion of another nation is by overwhelming numbers of forces and in this particular case by using nuclear weapons. The rise of an Iraqi Resistance force Ala France in WWII was obviously going to happen otherwise. We supposedly went there to fight terrorists, which of course turned out to be a lie. Now we are there fighting Iraqi freedom fighters defending there homeland from an invasion force, us, and of course that's an unwinnable war under nearly all circumstances. I'd be fighting just as hard to defend America, so it shouldn't be a surprise that they are doing it too.

Brilliant analogy kuriouscanuk! Very fitting.

KuriousCanuk:

""Pity the poor Americans when these monsters shed and ***.""

Save your pity for yourself.

""Our animals excrete stuff you can pick up with tweezers when it's dry.""

LOL...maybe, but that is not true of your people. They are full of it.
