Iraq War making us safer? - Page 3

nicky g · #21 09-06-2005, 11:09 AM

Noone would rather Saddam was back in charge in and of itself. Noone wants to put him in charge. The point is whether the reasons given and the benefits from the war outweigh the costs of the war. Saying anti-war protestors preferred Saddam in charge is like saying you prefer Chinese communists to be in power than democrats because you don't support going to war to topple them. There are costs and repercussions involved.

Does it matter what anyone says unless they happen to agree with your ideology?

You could try something relevent and informative?
You would have to concede that we are currently less safe because of the war but could then talk about how it is a long term solution that would eventually result in a safer world.
Then again I'm begining to wonder why i bother if to have an intelligent discussion i end up having to take both sides.

"At the moment i'd rather be in sadam's iraq" these were your exact words, even if it is out of contex who cares, thats a pretty bold statement.

What is the point? All I will get is rambling, incoherent nonsense in response.

I do not agree that we are LESS safe as a result of the war in Iraq. There is nothing at all to suggest that we are less safe. There is a lot to suggest that we are more safe. A pathetic example is the fact that we haven't had a terrorist attack on the US since the Iraq war started, we did before. They have nothing to do with each other in reality, but neither does anything that has been suggested that indicates we are less safe.

No, you don't. I am simply wondering what evidence there is to say that we are "less safe" as a result of the Iraq war. In what context are you posing the question? It really is far too broad, and probably an impossible, question to answer accurately due to geopolitical ramifications of having, or not having, the Iraq war.

I quoted Jaxmike verbatim. I don't do "inserts".

If you object to my highlighting the funny part in his post, so be it.

I wrote that because I was making fun of the people who actually used that as an example. Was this not clear? That is why I used the term "a pathetic example"....
