    “What type democracy did we bring Iraq?” — Pretty much the same as in cities like LA — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp20nG8mCeI

    We didn’t introduce this kind of behavior.

    But is it happening more or less often since we deposed Saddam? If more, are we morally responsible?

  3. JohnKonop says:

    Saddam was a bad guy, but he was very tolerant of other religions. This was one of the reasons we backed him originally.

    bbmac,

    “Pretty much the same as in cities like LA.”

    How about trying something closer to home?

    John,

    There’s just such a shortage of good dictators anymore.

    Although I’m sure the CIA did put Saddam through some very extensive psychological testing as well as studying his personality to see if he had the Right Stuff to be a submissive international puppet for Western Regimes, I don’t think his religious indifference was a major factor in giving him Iraq.

    Just an opinion, John.

    LeftHook,

    An interesting thought from you.

    When does our meddling with the world’s cultural progression become a moral burden?

    If the world becomes more like the U.S., does God add a tiny weight to his scale on the Good Side? Will we be judged better in eternity because We are the Modern Rome?

    Or do we slip closer to the eternal fires of Hell with each new corpse laid in the gutters? For each new sacrifice demanded and commanded by Washington who’s soul descends into Hell? Will it be a life for a life and a soul for a soul as in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?

    Will there be an accounting by a higher power …

    The day we invaded Iraq, did Dante laugh?

    MAC,

    How will you spin this?

  9. SgtMac says:

    John – As usual, you and the other leftists jump om the “blame America” bandwagon.

    YOU HAVE SOME NERVE! Who the hell do you think you are even insinuating we BROUGHT this type of behavior to the region? You should be ashamed of yourself.

    You’re really showing your MoveOn colors now John. You’re an absolute disgrace!

    You lose a debate in another thread and feel it necessary to blame crap like this on us.

    YOU CAN KISS MY ASS! How’s that for spin you NEOMARXIST jackass!

    Support the troops! Remember our Nation’s Veteran’s this Sunday!

    Mac

    Did you support the stoning of this teenager?

    Do you support Islamic law?

  11. JohnKonop says:

    Is William F Buckley the father of the conservative movement a liberal since he thinks the policy in Iraq is wrong?

  12. Mad Dog says:

    X-SgtMac,

    I hear your mother calling you.

    If they smoked more pot would they have more stoners or less?

  14. Bill says:

    Sorry
    Of course I’m very disturbed by this and unlike some Americans I don’t believe in meddling with other country’s religions or philosophies or “Judging” them either. And anyone who thinks we can destroy Sharia law with bombs and tanks must have some wires loose in their heads. Guess what? War > poverty > fear > fundamentalism.

  15. Bill says:

    Let he who has never sinned drop the first bomb.

  16. Mad Dog says:

    Bill,

    If they smoked more pot, could they stone those in need of being stoned?

    How many stones could a Stoner stone if a Stoner could stone stones?

    MD

    Mac,

    John ALWAYS looks for a way to blame America while also forecasting doom and gloom going forward. What a pitiful existence it must be…

  18. JohnKonop says:

    Bart

    ANSWER THE QUESTION!

    Is William F Buckley the father of the conservative movement a liberal since he thinks the policy in Iraq is wrong?
