your point about voting is moot because if the US does not approve of the candidate the iraqis vote for that candidate will not win. the elections are totally rigged and everyone knows it.
and that thing about the WMD's is bullshit, they never had them and it's just speculation to say they would have wanted to get them. and that is not a sound reason to go to war. what you are saying seems to ignore logic, you speculate that if saddam had not been removed hundreds of thousands of children would be dying of poverty (this was poverty was due to US sanctions not saddam) - but the war has killed over a million! you can't be saying that it's better that a million died instead of hundreds of thousands so you must be just ignoring the death toll of the invasion, not to mention the destruction, havoc and poisoning due to chemical weapons use.
and of course they should be let control their own resources but we both know they won't. and putting political pressure on the US government won't work since it is coorporations who are taking the oil, and they just won't listen.
i have no idea why you are touting the merits of chalabi, a neo con shill involved in falsifying the intelligence that led to war. and anyway, we both know the elections are rigged and the US backed candidate who will do what he is told will win.
i am obviously not defending dictatorship, you seem to be defending killing over a million innocents just to remove one dictator which is unacceptable. your argumentation is abhorrent.

Nice to see youve decided to make your point in front of other people now rather than resorting to the BigMans world of NEGREP! If you have confidence in your point, dont just say it to me after i challenge you on it in private, is that alright by you? Or are you the slab of nothing you appear to be 100% of the time?
Ok, the points you made there are best argued by what ive already written to be honest. You whined about the Iraqis only being able to elect US-bitches, and the second i point out someone who is an elected Iraqi who fought Saddam and made Iraq a nation that might just succeed. you have nothing to say about him besides what i referred you to. Youve stated your ignorance right there. Go back to bed.
