why the call for president bush to 'end the war' or 'stop the war' is misconceived.

[LMC Society]

some democrats and even republicans are calling for president bush to
'end the war' or 'stop the war'. they call for withdrawing US troops
out of iraq. now, if that would end the war, i'm all for it. never
mind building a beacon of democracy. the killings in iraq are so
horrifying that any end of this conflict would be welcome.
but, those calling for 'ending the war' are disingenuous. if US pulls
out, the war will end for americans. it will NOT end for people in
iraq. indeed, the REAL war of horrendous proportions may begin just
then. for all the talk of love of humanity around the world, liberals
don't seem to care.
when US pulled out of southeast asia, liberals patted themselves on
the back for 'ending the war'. well, it ended for the US but not in
southeast asia. communists still waged war and in 1975, they called
for an all-out attack on south vietnam. south vietnam would turn into
a communist slave state. it would know nothing but oppression and
extreme poverty for two decades. even today, it is very poor and
moving up only thanks to free markets.
as for cambodia, it turned into a real holocaust.
so, all those liberals who felt soooo good about ending the war didn't
really care what happened to vietnamese or cambodians under
communism.
suppose US was at war with nazi germany. suppose it was hard going for
the US, a kind of a quagmire. suppose americans call for 'ending the
war' and pull out of europe. yes, the war would end for americans.
but, suppose in the aftermath of US pullout, nazi germans murder 10
million 'subhumans'. this is what happened in southeast asia. US
withdrawal didn't end the war. war raged on in vietnam and cambodia.
then it was war between camobia and vietnam. then it was war between
vietnam and china. more people die in the few yrs after US pullout
than during the 8 yrs when US were there. yes, it was good for
american soldiers to come home and be out of harm's way. and maybe
there was no way for US to win and maybe it had to end in this
horrible way. but, those liberals who congratulate themselves for
finally resolving the crisis in southeast asia are liars. as
leftists, they saw US as the aggressor, not the defender. they argued
that the ONLY reason why fighting was going on was because US was
there. if US left, there would be peace. of course, the real
aggressors were the communists. once US left, north vietnam planned
to wage more war and take all of the south. and khmer rouge were out
to take the whole country. US leaving that area only led to more
war.
now, there were naive stupid liberals who believed US was the
aggressor and the problem. these people didn't necessarily want the
commies to win. but, leftist 'peace activists' actually did want
communists to win. they wanted US to pull out so communists could
sweep thru the entire region. indeed, they saw US pullout as the
beginning of world wide communist sweep. thank god that didn't
happen.

anyway, if iraq crisis is unresolvable, then US will have to pull out.
but, let's NOT fool ourselves into thinking that this will 'end the
war'. it will only end the war for us. for people in the region, it
could be the beginning of a real holocaust. also, while pulling out
may end the war for the US in the short term, if things get REAL bad,
it may pull us back in and in a much worse and bigger way.

we can all say bush messed up. it's his war. it's his responsibility
above all. BUT, america went to war under bush. we all did. even most
dems supported the war, no matter how reluctantly. most of the public
backed the war. so, even as we blame bush more than any other, we
should all feel some degree of responsibility for what has happened.
we changed the lives of all those people in iraq. it would be
dastardly to say, 'oops, we messed up, you guys kill eachother by the
bushel, bye!!'.
we can harshly criticize bush for taking us into war and for
mismanaging the war. but, whether we like it or not, the problem of
iraq is OUR problem too. it's not all or mostly our fault as shiites
and sunnis have hated eachother for centuries, and freedom that we
brought only opened the bloodgates of mayhem.
but, we were involved in this and we cannot just shirk our
responsility in the name of 'ending the war' and winning votes in a
very lowdown cheap way.

i say there is really only one solution. partition of iraq. no matter
how painful and complicated this process will be, it is the only one
that will bring any kind of finality to the conflict. if two cats are
fighting, just separate them. if you stand in the middle, they will
scratch you and themselves. if you try to separate them, you will get
scratched during the process but once the process of separation is
complete, the cats will not be scratching one another and won't be
scratching you. they will only be spraying along their territory to
stay apart from one another.

Exactly, Vietnam, like Iraq will have to do, solved it's own problems. The
US has no right to impose our beliefs ,or our form of government on others.
The self righteous arrogance of conservatives amazes me.

The anti-war movement was right about Vietnam and we're right about Iraq.
The only solution , is to get out and allow them the self determination
that they need to move on.

I think that's odd, Iraq didn't have gun control. Most Iraqi households have
guns to this day. Yet with all their personal firepower, how come they didn't
rise up against Saddam? The Iraqis rise up against their occupation, but let
Saddam rule for years! Why is that?

As all other liberal idiots, you haven't a fucking clue what
you're talking about.

But Saddam's dictatorship was not the stated cause for the War
Upon Iraq initially. This is a revisionary case for the War Upon
Iraq. It is preponderstely immoral for the aggressor in a war to
revise the its rationale for going to war'after the hostilities
have been engaged upon.

Paul Wolfowitz, who was an Deputy Secretary of Defense, was still
denying that Saddam's tyrnannical actions against the Iaqi people
was a valid cause for the war as late as May 09, 2003.

----["
The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with
the U.S. government bureaucracy we settled on the one
issue that everyone could agree on which was weapons of
mass destruction as the core reason, but...there have
always been three fundamental concerns. One is weapons
of mass destruction, the second is support for
terrorism, the third is the criminal treatment of the
Iraqi people. Actually I guess you could say there's a
fourth overriding one which is the connection between
the first two.

[. . .]

To wrap it up.

The third one by itself, as I think I said earlier, is a
reason to help the Iraqis but it's not a reason to put
American kids' lives at risk, certainly not on the scale
we did it. That second issue about links to terrorism is
the one about which there's the most disagreement within
the bureaucracy, even though I think everyone agrees
that we killed 100 or so of an al Qaeda group in
northern Iraq in this recent go-around, that we've
arrested that al Qaeda guy in Baghdad who was connected
to this guy Zarqawi whom Powell spoke about in his UN
presentation.

Furthermore, even if your claim was correct, it would itself
still be an example of preponderate denial to advance it.

The Weekly Standard in 2004 published an article attempting to
justify7 the Iraq War on freeing the Iraqis from Saddam's tyranny.
In it their high side estimate was 450,000 deaths by Saddam's hand
over 23 year reign. I'll be generous and call it 500,00 over 20
years. Saddam's annulised killing rate using these figures was
25,000 humans a yer. No question he was a butcher.

Gerard Alexander, "A Lifesaving War", The Weekly Standard,
March 29, 2004, Volume 009, Issue 28
<http://preview.tinyurl.com/32yrts>

The John Hopkins Iraq mortality survey, published in The Lancet
estimated last fall that the wxtra deaths from the Iraq war since
March, 2003 had been over 655,000 humans:

---------["

A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates
that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since
coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have
died if the invasion had not occurred.

[. . .]

The same group in 2004 published an estimate of roughly
100,000 deaths in the first 18 months after the
invasion. That figure was much higher than expected, and
was controversial. The new study estimates that about
500,000 more Iraqis, both civilian and military, have
died since then -- a finding likely to be equally
controversial.

Both this and the earlier study are the only ones to
estimate mortality in Iraq using scientific methods. The
technique, called "cluster sampling," is used to
estimate mortality in famines and after natural
disasters.

While acknowledging that the estimate is large, the
researchers believe it is sound for numerous reasons.
The recent survey got the same estimate for immediate
post-invasion deaths as the early survey, which gives
the researchers confidence in the methods. The great
majority of deaths were also substantiated by death
certificates.

David Brown,
"Study Claims Iraq's 'Excess' Death Toll Has Reached 655,000",
Washington Post, October 11, 2006
<http://tinyurl.com/qgtny>

"]-------------

Many contemporary conservatives have claimed this study is flawed,
although none have been able to explain exactly where the flaw
exists in the scientific methods, which are the same used to
estimate mortality rates from epidemics in 2nd and 3rd world
countries, and has proven to be a proper scientific model of
mortality over many years.

This is the 'truthiness' that Steven Colbert has satirised so
effectivelly. Going with the gut feeling, the facts
notwithstanding.

Still, again I'll be generous, and put the figure at an even
600,000 and the duration from March 2003 to the end of July 2007,
or 52 months.

600000 deaths / 52 months
= 11538.461538461538461538461538462 deaths/months

multiplied by twelve for an annual rate
= 138461.53846153846153846153846154

For the third time, I'll be generous to the US and call it
130,000 extra Iraq deaths a years caused the the Iraq War.

That is 5.52 times Saddam's killing ratio. You are one evil
bastard to promote this as a rationale for a just war.

I have been engaged in many content fights on wikipedia in the
past, and have discovered that there are certain topics which are
closely guarded by recognised editors, who will delete even
questions which are placed on the talk page, dishonestly stating
the reason they were deleted, which is what is viewed by most who
scan the logs. This has happened many times, and in political
matters has been done by both leftyus and rightys. I've seen it
in non-political topics too. Although not involved in it, I
watched the Asperger’s Syndrome topic for a while, and was greatly
amused by it. A subthread of a slashdot article discussions offers
a bit insight. Read the rest of the subthread beginning here.

<http://tinyurl.com/2njad3>

If you move up the thread to the post titled: "Who Decides the
Truth", and then follow it, you can clearly see other wikinesses
exposed. Look for a real ass with the pseudo 'snowspinner', and
his steak and blowjob day comments. In case you're wondering, did
not participate in any part of this slashdot thread.

I like the idea of open-sourced knowledge bases freely accessible.
This does not change the fact that wikipedia has serious problems,
and a seeming inability to honestly face them. There are other
wiki projects that are not yet ensnared, but I advance the
possibility that it is a function of the user-base size; a
criticality of mass. There is a point when the user base becomes
too large to be managed effectively by persons who are motivated
by truth, not ideology, and management duties are passed off to
persons who are driven by their own personal goals.

Then, there are some wikis which began with a tainted control,
which, although amusing, offers nothing else of real value.
If you'vw not seen it yet, try Conservapedia:

And no, it is not a parody, it is the real deal.

some democrats and even republicans are calling for president bush to
'end the war' or 'stop the war'. they call for withdrawing US troops
out of iraq. now, if that would end the war, i'm all for it. never
mind building a beacon of democracy. the killings in iraq are so
horrifying that any end of this conflict would be welcome.
but, those calling for 'ending the war' are disingenuous. if US pulls
out, the war will end for americans. it will NOT end for people in
iraq. indeed, the REAL war of horrendous proportions may begin just
then. for all the talk of love of humanity around the world, liberals
don't seem to care.
when US pulled out of southeast asia, liberals patted themselves on
the back for 'ending the war'. well, it ended for the US but not in
southeast asia. communists still waged war and in 1975, they called
for an all-out attack on south vietnam. south vietnam would turn into
a communist slave state. it would know nothing but oppression and
extreme poverty for two decades. even today, it is very poor and
moving up only thanks to free markets.

Exactly, Vietnam, like Iraq will have to do, solved it's own problems. The
US has no right to impose our beliefs ,or our form of government on others.
The self righteous arrogance of conservatives amazes me.
The anti-war movement was right about Vietnam and we're right about Iraq.
The only solution , is to get out and allow them the self determination
that they need to move on.

Yeah, the Iraqis were really "moving on" under Saddam the Insane's
Dictatorship, weren't they?

Irrelevant, not our problem. If you're interested in educating the
barbarians though feel free to suit up and ship out. This was was brought
to you by Exxon/Mobile, Halliburton nad corporate interests. Iraq posed
absolutely no danger to the US prior to Bush's quest for world
domination.

No danger?

Well let's start with a simple one.

Did Saddam give orders for his military to shoot down the aircraft
patroling the no fly zone by orders of the United Nations?

If you say no, you're a liar.

If you say yes, you'll be honest and also admit that you're wrong.

To attack any of the military forces that were acting on orders of the
UN, is an act of war. Saddam did that not just once, but on countless
occassions.

He is just trying to shift the argument from himself to someone else
(me). He has already snipped away his original assertion that he
doesn't want to defend. Here it is again:
"
Iraq posed absolutely no danger to the US prior to Bush's quest for
world domination.
"
Which is not just a false statement - but a stupid one.

I really don't care what he asks me as it doesn't make his assertion
correct. If anything, it makes him my muslim slave - wanting my

Actually, you're wrong, and your advancemnt of a forceful claim
that anyone who disagrees with you false assesment is a liar,
makes you an ignorant, domineering asswipe:
One of America's Many Intelligence Failures.

The Iraq No Fly Zones were Not the result of UN Resolutions.
The initiatives were instituted by The Persian Gulf War Coalition,
and were enforced by trilateral US/UK/France military forces.

------------------["
USIA News Report - August 26, 1992
<http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/1992/920826-240538.htm>

Coalition aircraft will begin flying surveillance
missions in southern Iraq August 27, President Bush
says, and the coalition "is establishing a no-fly zone
for all Iraqi fixed and rotary-winged aircraft."

Bush announced August 26 that the surveillance will
"provide coverage of the areas where a majority of the
most significant recent violations" by Iraq of U.N.
Resolution 688 have taken place.

He said the no-fly zone will be similar to the one the
coalition imposed on northern Iraq more than a year ago.
"]------------------

Sorry to again be forced to bring into the dialogue, the concepts
which contemporary conservatives believe to be obscene:
FACTS and EVIDENCE

When making a strong claim such as this, didn't you even consider
that it might be proper to at least run down a citation to offer
as substantiation for your arguments?

I'll say it again. All the intelligent rightwingers, with the
exception possibly of Chip Anderson have long ago left this group
leaving these droolers behind. Jeesh

You're a real idiot. In your first sentence, you claim that "you guys"
just repeat insults. In your second sentence, you repeat the same
insult you've used dozens of times right in this newsgroup.
Who do you think you're kidding? It's YOU that is the TROLL. With very
rare exceptions, all you do is insult.
You're nothing but a TROLL, asswipe.
A childish troll at that.
Now, you'll post another one of your insults. You're transparent.
In a recent post of yours, you said clearly that YOU love to taunt
others. That's what TROLLS do.
Grow up kid. Open a book, close your PC down and actually learn
something.

ahhhh,,,the hits keep coming, and using words of more than one
syllable now. Keep trying and you may yet impress me.

As usual, you say nothing. Just more of your TROLL crap.

Well. someone with your command of language, your grasp of the issues
and insight into the political turmoil could certainly find something
better to do than insulting trolls like me. Lets see,,,what position
are you suited for...oh wait....I got it...Putting Diapers on Piss
Clams!!

Yeah, the Iraqis were really "moving on" under Saddam the Insane's
Dictatorship, weren't they?

Irrelevant, not our problem.

It is now. Had Saddam not made it our problem, we'd not be there now.

How did Saddam make it a US problem?

He didnt have any WMD did he? when he did have them the Us didnt act and
when he had disposed of them and the UN inspectors had verified that to be
true the US suddenly had a problem with Saddam. What problem did they hgave
that Saddam made? I mean how was the dictator Saddam in 1999 so different
from the one supported and supplied by the US in the early 1980s?

put a turban on and go fight with the fucking terrorists? Are you too

This isn't logical at all! In fact it is like asking Christ why don't you

How did Saddam make it a US problem?

He didnt have any WMD did he? when he did have them the Us didnt act and

true the US suddenly had a problem with Saddam. What problem did they hgave
that Saddam made? I mean how was the dictator Saddam in 1999 so different

and

You do realise that Dyncorp and other private

Or short and to the point:

So how did Iraq threathen the US?

Post by Merlin
Nothing ever suits you.

It isn't a question of what suits me! It is a question of whether people can
support their own claims! My OPINION in the matter is as important as
anyones but the ORIGINAL POSTER made the claims he didnt support. I only
asked questions which demanded EVIDENCE to support these claims.

Post by Merlin
I've dealt with your idiocy before.

quite the contrary. you can't show where you did "deal" with me. As I
recollect you ran scared from debate and resorted to personal attack rather
than answer any of the simple questions. You are scared to answer the ones
above arent you? A bit worried because you can either obviously lie or if
you tell the truth you are not certain as to where that might lead. You
can't abide coming to a conclusion which contradicts neocons policyt can
you? So please don't clkaim to follow reason when you avoid it.

After seeing the pap you post, I can tell your intelligence level
isn't high enough to even find them.

First of all this is plainly ad hominem.

No it isn't. It's fact based on your posting history.

Its ad hoiminem! Look up the definition.
And you gave no examples of my posting history.
For a magician Merlin you don't seem to be able to cite any examples to back
up your claims. Do you think you can win an argument by magic?

A few people ranting to a few people.

1. So what? What is a parliament?
2. And if the arguments are well supported and
coherent then what is wrong with posting?
3. Subscribed where? On Google?

Third since YOU claim it, it is for YOU to support it and not for others

claim

My ego doesn't push me to be bothered to prove anything to you. You
can disbelieve it if you want. It does not detract from my main
argument in
any way.

Actually it does. since the point is about you not posting and my questions
about that and comments on it related directly to you ego! The comment about
MY ego which you copied from me was actually part of that argument in that
it illustrates how claims about what I have done in the past or whaqt I am
involved in presently are NOT related to evidence proving anything about my
claims! Your ego however IS related to the issue. So your copying my comment
is only SUPPORTIUNG MY position not yours!

Yes, it appears that you ARE that fucking stupid.

Post by Curly Surmudgeon
What is clear in my head (and no doubt to others who read this) is you
haven't asnwered simple questions asking you to back up claims about Iraq
being a threath and Saddam making the US attack Iraq.

You're a total idiot man.

Post by Curly Surmudgeon
Run away from that if yu want. People readong this will know you hisd from
the answers to two simple questions like these.

Once again, dumbass, I won't talk about anything serious with you
because you're a fucking idiot.

I'll talk to almost anyone, but not you. You've earned it.

Now, as I've suggested, go fuck yourself.

No, YOUR WRONG.

Really?
So whgere are your answers to the above simple questions?

Are you really that stupid or are you pretending?

How did Iraq threathen the US?
How did Saddam make it a US problem?

If you are claiming that they are simple questions then you should have no
problem answering them.
Why won't you answer them and why do you run away from answering?

No running is involved. I see why you try to make it look that way,
but it's simply not the case.

You havent answered the question and resort to personal attack. Why won't
you answer a simple question? You know you wil have to admit you were wrong
about Saddam making it a US problem and about Iraq being a threat to the
US
don't you?

Yes, it appears that you ARE that fucking stupid.

Scared to answer the simple questions and anyone reading this can see how
you are trying to avoid answerint the questions. You lose all credability
when you run away from answering simple queswtions like those.

See! You are avoiding answering and can only resort to personal attack. You
can't even back up your own opinion and resort to personal attack because
you are scared to answer. you can not show how Saddam threatned the US
and/or how the US were forced to attack invade and occupy Iraq.
Anyone can see that when someone runs scared they try to divert the issue by
throwing insults and name calling - but they won't answer simple questions
which probe their basic UNSUPPORTED claims.

Cowards run scared from answering. Calling someone an idiot is just an

threat to the US. Isn't it?

You can't answer the simple question asking you to back up yout bald
assertion that Iraq forces the US to invade and threathned the security of
the American population. You havent one whit of supporting evidence. All you
can do is obfuscate evade and windbag you insulting evasions. You are all
bluster and cant even stand up to support your own claims . LOL! What a
fine example of running scared you are. Can't support even the simplest of
claims.

By stating things which are like "im not going to supply any evidence to

Claims like Saddam made Iraq a US problem or that Iraq was a threath to the
US.

You cant even back up the simplest of claims and all you can do is resort to
insult to try to divert attention that you can't back up what you claim to
believe.

but, those calling for 'ending the war' are disingenuous. if US pulls
out, the war will end for americans. it will NOT end for people in
iraq. indeed, the REAL war of horrendous proportions may begin just
then. for all the talk of love of humanity around the world, liberals

when US pulled out of southeast asia, liberals patted themselves on
the back for 'ending the war'. well, it ended for the US but not in
southeast asia. communists still waged war and in 1975, they called
for an all-out attack on south vietnam. south vietnam would turn into
a communist slave state. it would know nothing but oppression and
extreme poverty for two decades. even today, it is very poor and
moving up only thanks to free markets.

Exactly, Vietnam, like Iraq will have to do, solved it's own problems. The

2. Iraq is not Afghanistan. It was a secular nation with a secular
government before the U.S. started interfering. If the U.S. pulled
out, there would be factional fighting, but there is little support
for al-Qaeda among Iraqis in general. Indeed, most resent the
interference of those foreigners just as they rightly resent the
interference of the U.S.

3. In case the point is not obvious, let me point out how the
interference of the U.S. in foreign situations led to more problems
for us. In any case, one has to consider the COST of any intervention
against the benefits. It's currently about $560 billion for Iraq and

But then, you never post anything but insults.
Post your logic and facts, asshole.
No, you'll come back with nothing but another childish "nothing"
comment.

I've yet to see you do anything but post insults...are you as full of
virtual testosterone as your buddt Merlin? Do you feel somehow "manly"
by bearing a handle like "Terrorist Killer"? You must sit in front of
the compute in a colorful tinfoil hat with matching propellor
impressing yourself and your buddies with your ascii bound courage

Fuck, you really are that stupid.
"Terrorist Killer" and "Merlin" are simply two ID's I use. What do you
care what I call myself, asshole?
You never say ANYTHING that matters.
Just little childish TROLL comments.
Fuck you again, Edy.

Do you eat with those fingers?

when US pulled out of southeast asia, liberals patted themselves
on the back for 'ending the war'. well, it ended for the US but
not in southeast asia. communists still waged war and in 1975,
they called for an all-out attack on south vietnam. south
vietnam would turn into a communist slave state. it would know
nothing but oppression and extreme poverty for two decades. even
today, it is very poor and moving up only thanks to free
markets. as for cambodia, it turned into a real holocaust.
so, all those liberals who felt soooo good about ending the war
didn't really care what happened to vietnamese or cambodians
under communism.

The ignorance within just this excerpt is enough
to realise the exiguity of this poster's content.

First, the Vietnam War Opposition was not in anyway excusively a
'liberal' movement. There were more in the antiwar movement who
considered themselves to be on the left side of the political
bipolarity, but then again, it was more of them and theirs who
were getting fucked by the draft, thereby getting their assess
ezxposed to enemy fire in an urighteous war, as far too many
conservatives, due to the expression of double recessive genes
within their inbred populations, were deferred from the draft for
being afflicted with weak knees, jaundiced stomachs,
alabaster-hued livers, involuntary spchinters, under-developed
spinal cords, and uncontrollable bladders. It's always easy to
support war, when it is neither your blood nor personal treasure
being put at risk. Thus speaks the rectitude of their intent.

Kidding aside though...

As you seem to suffer from guilianitis, evidenced by your
preponderate sloth in an ongoing process of education, I've
developed a reading assignment list to help bring you up to speed
regarding American historical facts from The Vietnam War Era.

Please refrain from discussing the causes for South Vietnam's fall
to North Vietnam until you finish this reading assignment.
I look forward to your further comments on this subject
after completion of this reading sometime in 2014.
