A. If the United States wanted to slaughter people, how hard do you really think it would be? Unfortunately civilians do take casualties in war, but they are not specific targets.
B. Nox, how are we oppressing them? How in any way could we oppress them any more than Saddam himself is?
C. Do not continually bring up the past, it is a weak argument. Yes, the CIA supported the rebellian against the USSR in Afghanistan. Osama was already rich. He didn't need funding. But does that mean they caused the subsequent terrorist attacks? Hell no, evil caused that. Unfortunately, a mistake was made in trusting those people too much. Same with Saddam. Yeah, before the Gulf War we supplied his country with weapons and training to defend against Iran. Once again, a mistake to trust that he wouldn't use those weapons against others. What does any of that have to do with Bush right now? Because the CIA and previous administrations made mistakes, that means the current one shouldn't clean it up, we should allow evil to just sit around?
What does Chile have to do with anything? I'll say this right now. The current subject is Iraq. Not Korea, not Chile. To bring up other things around the world, is not viable in a debate.
The United States DOES NOT mass murder innocent human beings, the United States DOES NOT support terrorism. Who do you think is worse? Bush and the US or Saddam and Iraq? I'd rather see that regime just taken out. Of course the US has made mistakes. Of course there are occasional power trips. Doesn't make this a bad country, and it doesn't make Saddam and his regime any better.
Shall we leave Saddam and his regime in power? I don't want to see what might happen if he remains unopposed.
