OK, that's your opinion. I find your views pretty whacked out also. You want to look only at the good things, and the good PR spewed out to you, and refuse to question anything.
I really believe that:
(1) We were not justified to invade Iraq at the cost of killing many civilians - definitely over 1,000 now, plus many more wounded. And that this is not justified by the fact that Saddam tortured his people.
(2) Our new found concern for the Iraqi people seems suspect to me, in that we were apparently not concerned in 1991 when we let them down, or until recently. Now that we are not finding massive WMD, the party line has shifted to helping the Iraqi people - which people swallow lock, stock, and barrel.
(3) I think that this is very high risk for the US, and may create more Bin Ladens, which will harm our national security in the long-term.
If you choose to ignore these points, or label them ridiculous, then that is you right. But to condone attacks on anyone that speaks out, and call them traitors, cowards, etc. - or by not condemning these comments - to sanction others which do this (which means you condone it), is not in the American Spirit, IMHO.
I find that view to be abhorrent, and ridiculous. |
