Are you older than 16? If so,are you younger than 30?
And you joined FR because?
Captain, you have NOT answered any of that, and NP is not the only one here who is suspicious of your age.
You are dodging.
You say what you want, ( some of the time) but you don't back your ideas up and/or tell us WHY you want them.
We do "Put up or Shut up", here.
NP:
My read?
He's a kid who has taken one poly-sci course and he seems to have forgotten his meds.
You can find better game! Or at least one that has a working cap-key!
The reasons we are in Iraq have been posted,for years,on FR and reiterating them,especially for you,only to have them all ignored,would be a waste of time.But here are a few reasons we are there and why you are so wrong about everything,that you have become a laughing stock.
The Middle East is composed of various tyrannical/despoticly/dictatoral nations,all of whom want Israel and the Jews gone.Saddam did,indeed,traffic with the terrorist...from al Qaeda to the nonaligned.By replacing the B'aathists,with a democratically elected president,will not only help us defeat those who spread terror in that area,but also on our shores.Iran,thanks to Jimmy Carter,is now a theocratic dictatorship,which it's populace is sick of and wants gone.With Iraq changed into a democratic Republic,it gives the Iranians hope for the same,shakes up the other nations in the area.And that's just for starters.
Vis-a-vis Germany and Japan after WW II,there are similarities and though you don't know any of this and are unable to discern just why it was incumbent upon us to do what we did back then and are doing right now,it would behoove you to delve into factual descriptions of same,which would,one would hope,disabuse you of your anachronistic,spuriously erroneous viewpoints.
