Me and a couple of my buddies were having a discussion about the war in iraq today. I personally was always in favour of it. Today one of my friends brought up a good point.
September 11, approx. 3000 people were killed by terrorists. The attitude of America was kill those pieces of s--t that did this. They go to war in Afghanistan and everybody supports it (mostly).
Saddam Hussein in the decades he was in power inprisons, tortures and executes hundreds of thousands of people, he invades two countries, he uses chemical weapons on his own people, he launched scuds at Israel, he violates UN resolutions and he fails to prove he destroyed all his chemical weapons. All this and most a large percent of americans say "Oh leave him alone he hasn‘t done anything to us."
The problem with the US is that alot of them are self centered. They don‘t realise that the people in Iraq didn‘t have the freedom to protest agains their government. The US is really the only country that can do anything significant to help them. It doesn‘t matter if he didn‘t have any WMD‘s before the war because he had and used them in the past. Saddam is gone for good. The Middle East and the entire world are safer now.
There‘s not really a point to this thread, I‘m not asking any specific questions. I just thought it was something interesting. I would like to hear your thoughts about americans only caring about themselves and how attitudes changed from the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq
