Another victim of U.S. imperialism.

Genocidal mass murderers in dictitorial regimes should be brought to justice as a result of internal political change, not because some hubristic cowboy launches a war of choice to bring democracy at the point of a gun.

There's nothing good that can be said about this.

This man should be alive today and continuing to serve the people of Iraq in the truly legitimate government that existed before the illegal and immoral war for oil.

Do you mean serving as in gassing more Kurds?

Yeah...

With the hardware those same neocon chickenhawks sold them to do so...

OH! Yes, of course! You mean like the mullahs in Iran running that government where only 5% of the popluation actually wants them there.

The Iranian government was duly instilled by the people of Iran....should we launch another imperialistic adventure against them...just to line the pockets of war profiteers....

Dems...Repubs...it doesn't matter.

The imperialistic impulses and need to slaughter whatever brown people who stand in the way of our need for natural resources is systemic---it's not a function of political party, its a function of a 500-year Euro-centric sense of entitlement and hubris as "Gawds" gift to the earth.

Not nearly as much as we're killing them...

And for what, Ron?

For what?

Goats are a good point, Ron.

As global warming and corporate farming practices contribute more and more to the desertification of arid, already marginal grazing lands, goats are a cheap source of protein for indigenous cultures. Unfortunately, as a browse species, they are also devastating to the local environment, thereby ensuring that poor populations remain poor.

And who better than Monsanto to fill in the gap when they finally run out of food?

I think you're a troll.

I think you're a woman.

You can't be seriously arguing are you?

Well, right now I'm questioning everything I've ever learned about grammar.

are you really that ingorant?

I reckon I can spell "ignorant" correctly---for what it's worth.

Were the weapons sold to the Iraq for the purpose of using on civilians they didn't like?

The military-industrial complex doesn't care what purposes the weapons are "sold for". They were sold to a brutal dictator to advance a perceived American interest at the time with little or no thought to the possible long-term dynamics of the region. (See also, "The Taliban") Like a typical Rethug neocon, you're whining about a regime doing bad things with weapons a preceding typical Rethug neocon adminstration sold them.

See that there cognitive dissonance?

Yeah, right there. That's it.

That's what happens when your foreign policy repetoire is limited to a mish-mash of jingoistic, flag-waving bullshit, Toby Keith songs, self-loathing neocon jews, and over-compensating politicians.

When you are talking about the government the the "people" [instilled] into office, are you talking about the 1979 Revolution or the the past election

I'm talking about both, actually. But more sapecifically, I'm talking about the kind of typical American arrogance and hubris that makes people like yourself think we have any business passing judgement on the "morality" of another nation's political system---especially when that particular nation has buried its own soldiers killed with chemical weapons we sold their adversary.

But by all means, let's call them "evil"--and maybe go to war with them. Perhaps your bored, chickenhawk ass needs another "Shock & Awe" fix on FAUXNEWS so you can cheerlead from behind your computer monitor while others do the fighting (and dying)while Halliburton's stock price goes up another point.

God Bless 'Merica!!

Are you a troll?

Go fix me some fucking supper, skirt.
