A Warmonger Explains War to a Peacenik

http://www.minimumeffort.com/nutshell.html

I was "surfing" with Stumble, a Firefox extension, and found this site. It's great.

snippet...

PeaceNik: Why did you say we are we invading Iraq?

WarMonger: We are invading Iraq because it is in violation of security council resolution 1441. A country cannot be allowed to violate security council resolutions.

PN: But I thought many of our allies, including Israel, were in violation of more security council resolutions than Iraq.

WM: It's not just about UN resolutions. The main point is that Iraq could have weapons of mass destruction, and the first sign of a smoking gun could well be a mushroom cloud over NY.

PN: Mushroom cloud? But I thought the weapons inspectors said Iraq had no nuclear weapons.

WM: Yes, but biological and chemical weapons are the issue.

PN: But I thought Iraq did not have any long range missiles for attacking us or our allies with such weapons.

WM: The risk is not Iraq directly attacking us, but rather terrorists networks that Iraq could sell the weapons to.

PN: But coundn't virtually any country sell chemical or biological materials? We sold quite a bit to Iraq in the eighties ourselves, didn't we?

WM: That's ancient history. Look, Saddam Hussein is an evil man that has an undeniable track record of repressing his own people since the early eighties. He gasses his enemies. Everyone agrees that he is a power-hungry lunatic murderer.

PN: We sold chemical and biological materials to a power-hungry lunatic murderer?

and on and on...

1. Ha Ha

Every answer the warmonger gave was a contridiction to the previous question. I don't think it is a coincidence that the majority of Republicans either have low IQ or a fat wallet.

10. That reminds me of the old RW meme

"We are invading because Saddam violated UN resolution 1441".

Me: "So you mean that the US sends soldiers to die to protect UN resolutions?"

See the UN hating wingnuts sputter and spit. It's fun.

16. Technically Saddam never violated resolution 1441

legally any breach and reprecussions were to be determined by the U.N. Security Concil. Unfortunately Cowboy Bush gave a big F U to the international community and started an aggressive war as we all know.

12. Pretty cool, Kid...

It's amazing what mileage these assholes have gotten out of these simple circular arguments, one of the most primitive forms of deceit there is... but when you boil down all the bullshit the truth becomes clear, and ultimately, pretty horrifyingly simple:



I mean, seriously, all you have to do is look at action here, rather than words:



The ONLY question I'm still wrestling with at this point is this:
Are our leaders simply hopelessly psychotic serial killers and pathological liars of truly mythic proportion?
Or soul-searingly evil, malevolent monsters in human guise?
