Because I thought it was funny. Perhaps it's the underwire of your support I can feel digging me! Not just the greatest bands, but the greatest Americ...
That because my post was a reply to you, correcting your many, many errors - of fact, reason, wisdom, moral and political norms, taste and common sens...
Oh, so when you said - you disagree, I was supposed to believe you. Because Saddam claimed to have chemical weapons. And he used chemical weapons, rep...

You're not addressing only the analogy - and clearly, mine is better than the one I was offered. We didn't throw the Iraqi people overboard, and them ...
Neither did you offer an alternative. In fact, you've offered nothing that isn't light on fact, and heavy on left wing, self righteous, politically co...
Imagine you're American, and Trump had installed himself as a dictator, thrown his political opponents in jail - used chemical weapons against black p...
Yes, you did, and then you said it again. Could you not think of an original insult? I've addressed this. The US President has constitutional authorit...
I'm talking about some very weighty things, international relations, war, and death - and seconds after I post a lengthy post, making numerous interes...
I love it when a huge and complex reality can be explained by one thing alone, don't you? It makes it all so simple! Does it? What about Bosnia? NATO'...
It's a matter of fact that the Iraqi people went nuts - and precipitated a descent into chaos. And don't tell me, that's why we should tolerate brutal...
What lie? Are you saying Iraq didn't have chemical weapons? Because they were used by Saddam in the Iran Iraq War, and against Kurdish military and ci...
Resolution 1441 was adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council. What do you think "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations"...
Sorry, I posted the wrong link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-National_Force_%E2%80%93_Iraq In fact, 36 'coalition forces' countries deployed tr...
If you acknowledge that Iraq was looking like a modern secular state in the 1970's, before Saddam took power then the argument you made - that Saddam'...
The 1991 Gulf War coalition included 34 countries, many of whom provided substantial military assistance, and many of whom were from the Arab world. w...
Meeting the climate challenge without constant and crushing interventions in the market is precisely the point. Magma energy can sustain capitalism - ...
I say we stop using fossil fuels altogether - and drill for magma heat energy, near to magma chambers and subduction zones in the earth's crust. We li...
I really haven't, no! I am very much "brexited out" after campaigning against it from 2015 through to the 2019 general election. I advised remainers t...
35 countries disagreed with your 20/20 hindsight view, and thought the removal of Saddam Hussein was necessary. These include countries in the region,...
The politically correct argument suggests that the concept of 'country' was the problem; that creating Iraq cut across tribal migration routes - and i...
You new? May I give you some hints on how to reply - using the little curly arrow, bottom left, next to where it says 3 hours ago. If you click on tha...
What was the other choice? Continue with sanctions hurting the Iraqi people, while Saddam sold oil on the black market to keep his brutal regime in po...

You think it was about oil? Maybe back in the 1970's, with OPEC and the energy crisis; but not since then - has any such motive existed. Advances in d...
The US role as the world's policeman is a burden. And if you look at the statistics, there are only around 1000 arrest related deaths per year - from ...
I would agree, that mission accomplished, the US should have gone home. But Saddam Hussein had to go. He had an eight year war with Iran costing a mil...
What makes you think Labour are EU friendly? Half the party are anti-capitalists - who view the EU as a neo liberal institution. Have you not wondered...
Sooooooooo....Canada's on fire! As is Russia. And Australia - again! Like California was just last year! Someone should probably do something about th...
How very prudent! It's a physical fact that any change to a complex system is more likely to be detrimental than beneficial, which is the basic reason...
