US Military Action in Iraq - Poll

[Exi5tentialist]

I've always been interested in the difference between the justifications for war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I think "obsessed" would be a better term.

[Animavore]

Interesting. Afghanistan, ok. Iraq, not ok. Why the difference? They were both attacked over the same bullshit.

You and I know that, the neo-liberals differentiate: Afghanistan was attacked because of 9/11, Iraq was attacked to bring democracy to a dictatorship.

Except, at the time they told us it was because of WMDs... though they wouldn't let the weapons inspectors finish their job of actually looking for them.

You and I know that, the neocons differentiate: Afghanistan was attacked for the US to get a strategic foothold in the Middle East, Iraq was attacked to guarantee the free supply of oil to the market from the world's 2nd biggest oil producer

Prejudice declared: I don't like America (USA).. In fact you might say I hate it. No problems with Americans for the most part, just America.

That said, how about a poll for US Military Action - Minding our own fucking business?

There'll be civil war if Canada ever joins the US.. and I won't be on the 'in favour of' side.

That's a wholly simplistic analysis of the situation.

The root cause of both wars was Saddam Hussein.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Show your work please.

Kuwait

Could you be a little more specific?

[HomerJay]

Kuwait

Could you be a little more specific?

You can't discuss the legitimacy of US action in Afghanistan unless you start with Kuwait.

Q8?

You can't discuss the legitimacy of US action in Afghanistan unless you start with Kuwait.

True enough, but then we'd have to start with Saddam's rise to power before that and get seriously derailed. :S

No, there's a straight line between Kuwait and Afghanistan, which doesn't need any priors.
