WTF are you trying to say or not say????


Why the feck do you answer my questions with questions?
You haven't answered my question, though I've presented it to you more than once. Instead you post a question for me without comment on the post I presented to you. The reason is obvious but you obviously don't want to be dealing in honest conversation, you'd rather just try to ping me with something you think neutralizes the issue for me. It doesn't. I am happy to reply to your question and would appreciate the same if you are able. I pretty much always answer your questions with any facts I have available and/or an honest opinion.

I asked:

How do you feel about the deaths of 500k children under the age of 5, hundreds of thousands of curds and shiites who were slaughtered, and threats to directed at the US... bluffs?

Madelyn Albright when asked about the intended deaths of nearly 500k children resulting directly from her policies, "we think it is worth it"

Are you like M. Albright. Just keep targeting the children because you think its worth it?



You responded:

How do you feel about 4400 deaths on our side due to an unjustified invasion of a nation that had done nothing to us to warrant it... btw, there were 100s of thousands of deaths on the Iraqi side.....

What kind of threat was made against us from Iraq????


So here goes.

Deaths-

1) targeting innocents (even one) hoping it will contribute to the down fall of your enemy is evil. There was a point in the initial sanctions plan where that was not the case. But by 1996 we knew that was exactly what our operations were intended to do.

2) Soldiers die in combat and as sad as that always is, it can not be condemned as evil. It makes me sad. Even if you are morally and conscientiously against all war, you have to hold the participants responsible for their own choice in the matter.

3) 100s of thousands of deaths in Iraq were a consequence of several factors, the heinous brutality of Saddam, war and the collateral damage of war, civil conflict within Iraq. That was awful and makes me sad.

The three items are not related except that they are all a result of conflict.

Threat from Iraq-
