Quid Novi...
[ QUOTE ]
The argument is shallow so there is no deeper. [/ QUOTE ] You think so? The original post was kinda alluding to the impossibility of a foreigner forcibly building a new regime in Iraq and that new regime celebrating this, i.e. celebrating what, when all is said and done, is its defeat and submissiveness! This was not an "argument against the war", as someone took it to be, by the way. We are past that stage.

Si finis bonus est, totum bonum erit
We "deposed" their oppressive dictator and "imposed" democracy. Yea, they're really gonna hate us for that. And they're free to democratically change the system once we're gone.

[ QUOTE ] They're free to democratically change the system once we're gone. [/ QUOTE ] I'm sure these guys will elect a pro-western, pro-American, gung-ho secular government as soon as the Americans vamooze outta Dodge. I mean, is that a sure bet or is that a sure bet ?

That we didn't find the WMD's doesn't matter because we couldn't take the risk that he did have them. And whoever they elect is up to them but will surely be much friendlier and less of a threat than Saddam.

[/ QUOTE ] Just out of curiosity, not to start a debate, but interested in opinion... finding materials for WMDs is practically for political purposes just as incriminating as finding WMDs? Is this a safe assumption?

[/ QUOTE ] Sklansky should start a thread about the threshold of probability of a country having WMDs, above which the United States invades! But, then of course, we should have to define very carefully what are WMDs! (And then exclude Israel from the list.) [ QUOTE ] Whoever they elect [in Iraq] is up to them but will surely be much friendlier and less of a threat than Saddam. [/ QUOTE ] I'd say those words will come back to haunt you but that would be assuming a lot from your part.
