Okay, my question: Why are we against Saddam Huwhatever? Why would anyone care if he's caught? I haven't really been following, because I don't really care about that kind of stuffs.

Because if we're going to kill a hundred thousand of them, catapult them into the stone age, and let the pack of vultures the old leader kept in line loose on them, we might as well get the old leader.

Also, watch the reactionaries flipflop from 'Who cares about Saddam Hussein?' to 'Where were you when we were spending all that time trying to capture this evil, evil man?'

Better hope Bush doesn't read that. He might blow up your house, justifing it by saying you had weapons of mass destruction.

Oh and my opinion on why we attacked Saddam. He is a ****ing ******* and needed to get kicked.

Saddam may have been evil, but Bush is probably the worse evil. Hell with it. No one cares. Too many have sold out now. Oh well, time for the back up plan. Oh wait, there isn't one.

Eehh...how many of you cared for the state of Iraq before Bush decided to attack it? How many of you actively protested against the inhuman conditions? You probably didn't even know there was such a country.

And with some mindwork, my point should become clear.

EDIT: Would Bush care a s*** about how many people were tormented in Irag if it weren't for the destruction of the WTC?

And that should be obvious even without some mindwork.

I'm sure I'm not alone in finding your post insulting. Speak for yourself in future.

And, uh, please don't bother pointing out the irony inherent in the above two sentences.

Bush was going for Iraq before the WTC.

He was for cleaning up after his papa.

I just noticed; the news certainly was more shortlived than I would've anticipated. At least the icq server has taken the message off its welcome screen again and replaced it with the Return of the King ad. See, the people are so apathetic to Saddam's capture that it can't even hold out more than two days against a *movie announcement* in some news systems! :D

LF, you're being unfair. Saddam is almost certainly medically classifiable as a psychopath, although one can see why when one considers his upbringing.

Bush has a decidedly odd moral compass at times, but he's not, so far as we can tell, mentally ill.

Saddam was a piece 'o ****, no doubt.
The strange thing is that people didn't care more than Somalia, Sudan or whatever eastern country thats getting ****ed by physko leaders, before Bushie brought it up, THEN everybody cared.

He needs to go after Mugabe, but he won't bother unless he kills something American. He can do what he likes to his own people it seems.

It's only insulting if you consider it an insult, Thyrul...

I think my question was motivated. Sorry to all those who feel their feelings were hurt.

EDIT: I'll try to lay off the irony. Try, that is.

Saddam was an evil man and a terrible ruler, no question about it. Bush may be misguided and mistaken, but he's not deliberately evil and he doesn't advocate military action against his own people. Trying to equate the two is ridiculous knee-jerk Bush bashing.

That said, I don't think Saddam's capture will change very much. It will relieve a few of the worried Iraqis and make Bush look more competent, but that's all. Saddam hasn't had any significance since he disappeared months ago. There will still be Americans killed there and the country will still be a mess for the foreseeable future.

—Alorael, who would like to point out that most evil dictators aren't sitting on vast quantities of oil. They're also not linked to Al-Qaeda in the public mind, which makes stirring up fervor for war more difficult.

I've always thought that people didn't give a **** about other countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan was because they thought that America is so f****** great that they'd only care if they did anything to affect the "Perfect Country". Personally, I thought the planes crashing into the WTC was kind of cool, barring the deaths of countless people. If I remember clearly, I ripped up a little American flag that we got at school that same very day. I have forgotten what I did with the strands, though.

I would like to point out that while Saddam is an evil <censored>, he
isn't messing up other countries half as much as Bush is. Given the facts that
there are no proven links between him and alqaeda, and that there are no nuclear
or biological weapons in Iraq, I still hold that the invasion was a gross violation
of the Geneva protocols. It is also doubtful whether American presence in Iraq is
necessary, or even preferred by the Iraqis.

Sure, it's not necessary, Iran wouldn't care if we left. Uh-huh. And the fence in Isreal is wrong. Okayyy.

Iraqis have voiced their support for the American presence and liberation/invasion, if you say that the presence isn't wanted by the Iraqis, don't speak of them as a whole.

You really think Iran would invade right away if America left? Iran's got enough internal troubles of its own, and America would still be able to tear into Iran too if it so wished.

Aside from which, most of the country's Shias would be overjoyed if the Iranians came in.

Not sure what the relevance of the security wall is here, since the entire Kingdom of Jordan and a hefty slice of desert is in the way. But that doesn't seem to be that effective either, since it's divided a lot of communities from their farmlands and livelihoods, which can't be good for promoting goodwill.

In my opinion, Bush is an manipulating gnat of universal volume, good that the strong minded and mad posters of this boards don't get as easily manipulated! (Mad was not meant as an insult, but you have maybe figured that out!)

Who isn't a manipulating gnat in our universe? (Aside from someone who has no life.)

And as for the Shi'ites, a good # of Iraqis, both Sunni and Shi'ah (forgive my spelling) have expressed their resentment for Shariah (theocratic) rule.

And I didn't mean that Iran would invade right away or anything, or even Iran. I simply meant that one of the non-democratic (call me a capitalist swine) powers, not necessarily countries, would become another dictator there.

(And forget my comment about the Israel fence, I don't care nor was I thinking very clearly.)
