Quote by: sdbest  Given who illegally and unnecessarily invaded whom, I think it's not clear which culture is "backward", "the Islamic culture or the American culture.
Iraq was not invaded because "they value their hate over their women and children" which is a patently false statement but ostensibly to protect America and its allies from the smoking gun being a "mushroom cloud."
The American coalition illegally and unnecessarily invaded a country that was no threat and killed hundreds of thousands of people. America should pay for its war crime, just as Germany and Japan did.
Or is there one set of rules for America and one for everybody else?

Saddam had recent mass graves, was shooting at Nato planes flying over for the UN 300 times a day and were trying to start up their nuclear programs.
The country was full of dual use parts, Iraq scientists has some parts buried around their homes and ex leaders of Saddam's military has reported lots of WMDs were transfered out in planes as disaster relief to Syria.
Saddam destabilized the Middle East. He had hosted terrorist training camps in Iraq and was threatening everyone.
Later we had Al Qaeda from Iran and Syria flow in as a proxy war, so it is a tough situation, but a just one.
We spent 50 years in Germany and Japan, to expect us to do miracles in 5 years is unheard of.
We most certainly don't want to listen to our liberals who made us leave Nam early causing a genocide after we left. This time we stay till it is stable and that is all.
If anything Iraq is welcome to help us later cover our expenses, not the other way around.
We have also been building their infrastructure. If you want to read about that great progress, just do new searches on the net.
I remember the groups in the prisons of iraq where hundreds of children were imprisoned by Saddam to make their parents behave. He was a devil. Al Qaeda in Iraq are more devils and they need to be gone.
We are there to help and that is a just cause.
