What do you mean Iraq will fight back?

They are too busy killing each other!
Quote from: dennylove on January 04, 2007, 11:29 AM

as far as am concerned,iraq,will fight back!!!!!!!!!!!! Cry Embarrassed :owhat bush did to their president.
it might not be now but, they will surely did.trust me,mostly the UPCOMING TERRORIST Grin Grin Grin Grin Cheesy Cheesy Wink Wink
I totally agree, sooner or later, they will take revenge. Remember the twin towers, those guys are crazy people and aint afraid of death. I don't believe what Bush did is all good, who is he to judge and decide for other countries, he wishes to be the president of the world and that aint going to happen. He started of saying that he's looking for weapons of mass destruction and look where it all ended up, he bombed another country and the world said shit about it and all of a sudden ya'll think its good what he did. C'mon you guys.  Angry

Anyways we are all going to face our judgement day and while we are all commenting on this thread, Saddam is just somewhere up there, smiling.
Atleast he's resting. Iraq will strike when its least expected.

@Stenach,

I agree with you. I don't know what BigB1 and Eassy are saying;

I repeat;
The beautiful write up buy most of these guys in support of Saddam does not convince me at all,

The same guy can write a very good story about Abacha and you will think He was a saint.
a writer is saying dying by hanging is most brutal than amongst injections and shooting, etc,
if he died by firing Squad (shooting) he would still have something to say about it being the worst form,  humans can be very shallow minded!!

Dude, you need to read comments and understand them before posting a reply comment. It is obvious that you do not understand any of my comments.

FYI: there is no one here supporting or condoning what the evil master, Saddam Hussein had done during his life as a dictator; hence I advise you to go back, read and understand the comments.
Believe me, it's not that difficult to do.

Wow the noise about Saddam continues? His victims now some sense of justice. The same law he used to execute many, is the same law that was used to execute him. How many of you were here defending civilian contractors, journalists etc when they were being executed on video by Al-quadia in Iraq? The answer is zero.

Nobody ever told me why it is left to the USA to go to IRAQ, another sovereign nation. At the start of the Bush led war, the talk wasnt on the tyranny of Saddam, it was on finding weapons of mass destruction (WMD), this was never found, then it was for terrorism, IRAQ doesnt have a link with terrorism, now, the war has to be justified, and then it became Saddam's tyrant government had to be pulled down to "help" IRAQIs. Why, when America occupied IRAQ and found no WMD, why didnt they leave? Therefore, America knew their aim but they needed to becloud it with spurious reasons just to get at Saddam, mind you, don't be fooled that the whole thing was done to help the people of IRAQ, nope, Bush and his cronies knows what they were after.

The UN said no to the war, Bush went ahead, who is thus a dictator? Why has America made herself the police of the world? Why? Why will America invade another country for any reason? I am sure one day, as the saying goes, we will all sit in the judgement throne of God and give account of ourselves, not Saddam alone, but including Bush, Blair, and all those who has arrogated to themselves the title of the arbiter of the whole world.

You think there is death now in Iraq? This would be child's play compared to what would happen if the US pulled out of Iraq. Not only would Saudi Arabia and Iran be fully pulled in on opposing sides but, Turkey would also move against the Kurds.

if u ask me if saddam deserved to be hanged. well i will say: yes.          if u ask why. i will say:he has enjoyed alot and forget that no man is above death, many have died because of him, he signed the death of many by himself feeling like a little god, i wonder how he felt when he was commanding his soldiers (saying kill them all).  now he his begging God for his own life. i feel sorry for anybody on his side.

So Saddams dead, so who cares?

He got what he deserved and died in a horrible way, just the same as his victims.

To all the people in this thread that are trying to make him out as some kind of matyr or hero I pity you and think you need help.

His was never a hero and never will be. He was a cold bloodied killer and has now paid the price.

Time to move on and forget about this piece of filth. There are plenty more to take his place. Nigeria has one as it's president. No need to go look too from home  Undecided

What's Saddam Hussein's death got to do with the beheading of innocent people carried out by Al Quaida?
There's no point in bringing unrelated events together in order to cause distractions. saddam was never a member of Al Quaida and was never part of those who beheaded those journalists. Besides, if George Bush never went there in the first place, the journalists and very many other innocent people would never have had to die.

Totally besides the point. You are the people bringing in the US invasion with almost every post. A topic that has been beaten to death and is now way past it's sell by date of 5+ years. What's so special about Saddam that you jump to the defense of his life? He's dead get over it. He's been on trial, he's been sentenced, he's had his appeal, he's been executed.

Thousands of his victims didn't get to have appeals or spend their last days in American hospitality, dying looking better than they did when they went into prison.

Afam, happy new year bro.

Sometimes its best to respond so that some people who might not know about this don't read and assume too much based on the wrong and sometimes bigoted views of some people on certain discussion forums.

I do realise that it hurts some people, naturally so too, whenever anything is stated that seems to potray the country which  rescued them from poverty in bad light.

@Easyy,

Well, your task is a noble one, carry on and best of luck.

Only God knows what would have become of this forum if these defenders of anything US have not gotten responses that helped in clarifying issues.

I find it supremely difficult to understand how someone will blindly and unconditionaly support a nation regardless of atrocities being commited by the nation even when the citizens of that nation have voiced opposition to what their leaders are doing.

Enjoy.

It is the same as all the people who condone the actions of the 419 Yahoo boys as they think that they are striking at the West and punishing the ex slave trading nations, even though these criminals are destroying their own country  Undecided

I would not go as far as saying that there is blind and unconditional support for the US in Iraq. But I still know what side I would choose to be on if it came to the crunch,

The 'blindly follow' tag can be applied to most things:

1. Hitler
2. Stalin
3. Lenin
4. Jesus
5. Islam
6. Religion is general
7. Football teams
8. The USA
9. girls with large breasts  Cheesy

So let America stay put and never leave then? With America still there, hundreds die daily - what can be worse? You seem to be saying it will be worse if America leaves? Well, we wait to see, but if they don't want to leave, let them stay there then.

I never said that. Weather they stay or not is up to them. Obviously they are not very well liked in Iraq. My point is should they leave now, war, not only in Iraq but, also her neighbours will break out.

Back to Saddam. I want to ask one question. If Charles Taylor were tried and executed by the Ghanian government, would that also cause as much sorrow for some here as Saddam? (not based on an anti-death stance)

Does anyone actually believe that in a country of which 60% are Shias and 20% percent are Kurds,that most Iraqis didn't want Saddam dead?

People say that Saddam should have been kept in power.What gives them the confidence that the Shias and Kurds would have wanted Saddam to stay in power?

Iraq was without question better off under Saddam than it is at present. People were not being bombed daily during Saddam's era. The country was not a haven for terrorists during Saddam's era and they had basic infrastructure and much more working people during Saddam's era.

George Bush's hunger for war and thirst for non-western blood has turned the place into a nightmare.

Iraqis and almost everyone in the world wanted Saddam out so there' sno question about not wanting Saddam out. You seem to be confusing that with what people are saying with regards to the state of Iraq at present compared to what it was.

If Nigeria had been blown to bits during the Abacha era, where would we all be now and where what would have become of all that we currently see in Nigeria?

Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the war?Which begs the question how Ansar Al Islam(a terrorist organisation) managed to gain territorial control over large swathes of Northern  Iraq before the war and operate with total impunity
How come Al Zarqawi managed to operate from Iraq before the war

U resort to the usual argument of the anti-war brigade-we want Saddam out but not in the manner it was done-Problem is no one has suggested how this outcome would have been acheived

If the Shia and Kurdish insurrections of the 80s and 90s succeded,won't that have brought about sectarian conflict as we are witnessing

Most Iraqis today die through sectarian conflict,if the likes of Saddam had ruled Iraq in an equitable manner by allowing the Shias and Kurds a fair crack at governance,we won't have a sectarian conflict today.Full blame for the present predicament lies with past Iraqi leaders and the British colonial authority.

What is happening now was bound to happen,if u have a minority rule of Sunni Arabs and their Christian cronies-a quasi-apartheid system-at some point the majority peoples(Kurds and Shias) are going to start reacting violently when given the opportunity

The removal of Saddam has created a situation whereby the majority of the Iraqi populace have a stake in governance but apparently some Sunnis find this intolerable.

If the idea is that Saddam should remain in power so that Sunnis can continue their domination of Iraq,most Iraqis still think that the present level of violence is worth the overthrow of a Govt that made them second class citizens in their own country,killing them in huge numbers simply for being in the wrong sectarian group

Iraq was not an islamic state under Saddam and there was never a single case of suicide bombing or suicide attack in Iraq for more than 30 years.

Iraq remained a secular state, reason why it had a christian as Saddam's vice president.

With the illegal invasion we shall see a fully islamic republic of Iraq that may just be another Iran.

By the time all these things completely play out then the US will realise that a "free and democractic middle east" according to them will easily mean a middle east where the presence of influence of the US will not be tolerated.

Let us hope we see real democracies in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia and we will know how far. Remember we have seen democracies bring Hamas to power and the present government in Iran.

Just as late Ford stated before he died, the US should not be going round trying to convert nations to practice democracy. Not to even mention that these democracies are being spread with bombs.
