How in the world can anyone say that removing Saddam from power was not a good thing.....it amazes me. Some people actually feel sorry for Saddam now!!?? Some people say that Iraq was better off before he was removed!!?? It amazes me.
The sad thing is that the Kerry party is hoping for more trouble with terrorists and the middle east...he thinks that it will help him get elected. Supporting Kerry = supporting terrorists.
peace,

No one argues that saddam was a bad guy, but there are many countries with leaders that will make saddam look harmless.Originally Posted by tryingtogetbig
The one thing that made me very mad towards the bush administration was colin powell's speech at the UN a year ago. A very overwelming speech when i heard, especially when he said "These are not assertions, these are facts based on solid intelligence". Every single statement in that speech has been proven false, and thats when I really lost trust in the administration. Last I heard of about 2-3 weeks ago, there is still no found connection between Iraq and al-qaeda, that makes me angry.
I think Iraq for the moment probably was better off with saddam for the moment. It really seems like the Bush administration was expecting the Iraqi's to jump for glee in open arms. It may have been that way at first, but a couple days later they were asking where is my water? food? schools? infrastructure? The list goes on and the Bush administration just wasn't prepared. You could definitely make the argument that life is getting better in Iraq now, but there's a whole lot of other places that had it much worse with no sight in the future of anything getting better.
On the last point about the dems supporting terrorists, this really goes both ways with the republicans also. Look at the republicans trying to push back their release date on the 9/11 investigations. How bad do you think Bush would want to catch bin laden, probably assure him victory, but what would that have to do anything with him, it would be a great military victory, but even if kerry was pres, i don't see why it should reflect well on him.
The last statement about kerry=supporting terrorists, well c'mon now be real. I know alot of people see politicians as liars and theives but just watch c-span every now and then. Sure you can see guys on each side (especially in election year) taking shots at the other party, but you can still tell that they (especially congressman) really do care about their jobs and want to make a difference and do whats right. I have never seen so many congressmen on both sides so mad about this administration. They voted a year ago to give the president basically the power to do just about anything, including the use of nukes, based on pretty much the same info given to the public prior the war, a couple weeks ago the armed services committee questioned george tenet and you really saw how the bush administration misconstrued the facts, not the CIA, and congressman from both parties were very upset clearly. But the thing that really gets me is that after all of this, you find out what the war really cost america, several lives, and when you hear about all the programs that have to be cut because of a huge additional interest on the debt, a congressman from D.C has to now deal with a program for impovershed familes that helped 297,000 african americans with basic needs, and it really just breaks your heart.
So this is alot longer than I intended, but the fact that anyone would state that an american supports terrorism is ridiculous.
