VABills Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 And it hasn't been mentioned here, and really kind of only slightly covered in the press. I am sure there was no violence, not because of the policies and military fight of the last 6 years but only because the Messiah is large and in charge.
The Big Cat Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Now, can we finally bring our troops home? Evidently.
BillsNYC Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I thought we were supposed to apologize for that?
blzrul Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 And what happens when Iraq elects a guy who hates us, and who we hate? Will you be crowing about that too?
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 And what happens when Iraq elects a guy who hates us, and who we hate? Will you be crowing about that too? Are you running?
BillsNYC Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 And what happens when Iraq elects a guy who hates us, and who we hate? Will you be crowing about that too? Then you wait a couple years til somebody new is elected, that's democracy in action, whereas a dictator you'd have to deal with for life.
PastaJoe Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Then you wait a couple years til somebody new is elected, that's democracy in action, whereas a dictator you'd have to deal with for life. Yeah, how's that working out in Gaza and Iran, as compared to Saudi Arabia or Egypt where the rulers are in for life.
BillsNYC Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Yeah, how's that working out in Gaza and Iran, as compared to Saudi Arabia or Egypt where the rulers are in for life. Works out great here, imagine if you weren't able to vote Bush out? Iran is as much a democracy as Iraq was under Saddam. If Gaza was two dictators there probably wouldn't be a Gaza right now.
RkFast Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Its not mentioned for the same reasons that Hamas attcking Israel and Achmeminutjob pissing in Barry's face isnt mentioned.
VABills Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Yeah, how's that working out in Gaza and Iran, as compared to Saudi Arabia or Egypt where the rulers are in for life. Egypt has elections.
PastaJoe Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Egypt has elections. So does China, that doesn't mean it represents the will of the people. Mubarak has been ruler since 1981, in his fifth term after being reelected in a single candidate election, and opposition party leaders are harrassed and imprisoned. But in nations such as Egypt, Iraq, and Palestine, a strong national leader is sometimes preferable to keep the more radical elements in check that would undermine the relative peace between tribal and religious factions.
chicot Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Egypt has elections. Iraq under Saddam had elections.
Adam Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Iraq under Saddam had elections. Our system good, everything else bad.....must make others like us
VABills Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Iraq under Saddam had elections. You're responding to the wrong person buddy. Also, Iraq never had free elections. It was vote for Saddam, or we'll change your vote and kill you and your family.
Adam Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 You're responding to the wrong person buddy. Also, Iraq never had free elections. It was vote for Saddam, or we'll change your vote and kill you and your family. Horray for Iraq....lets fix things here now....I hear the economy isn't so good.
Adam Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 It must be because of Barry Obama Prez* As Yoda would say- "Understand you, I cannot"
DC Tom Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Iraq under Saddam had elections. So'd German under Hitler. Both got 99% of the vote. "Election" means having a choice.
