re: #52 Destro

The war criminal Bush administration did not actually keep numbers of the dead. Makes America look bad to be a civilian/baby killer nation.

I get that you believe every member of the Bush administration and anyone who ever had an opinion that favored the re-invasion of Iraq in 2003 is a war criminal or otherwise has the blood of innocents on his or her hands. However, you still have not answered the actual questions I posed. Since it has been a while since I asked them, I am reposting some of them (there are many more in the thread above) below for your convenience:

1. Did the regime in Iraq that was overthrown as a result of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq kill, maim or commit any other actions that, under the rules of international law, are crimes against humanity?

2. Is it your position that, absent the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, no blood of innocents would have been spilled at the hands of the Saddam regime? If yes, please provide factual support for your argument.

3. Is it your position that Saddam’s victims, past and potential, were not entitled to cosideration or protection by the international community and that he should have smiply been allowed to continue butchering, raping, torturing and otherwise opporessing the population of his country? If yes, please explain why the blood of Saddam’s victims are not the “blood of innocents”.

4. Here’s a more basic one. Please provide support for your assertion that “The blood of millions of innoncents” was spilled by the Iraq War (you need not provide factual support for your assrtion that I, personally, am responsible for any of those deaths, much less millions of deaths).

And, as I pointed out above, answers to a public opinion poll do not qualify as actual support for your statement.

If you are uncertain what a well-reasoned response would look like, please see Point #56. Although CL and I may not agree, his post is well-reasoned and factually supported. Hence my acnkowledgment of his position and upding to his post. That is how it’s supposed to be done.
