Reply #120: Yes, it did sound like something a republican would say [View All]

as did this: "HW didn't have the balls to finish .. to finish the first gulf war."

The reason it sounds like a republican is that there was a genocide, and instead of condemning it, you are excusing and defending it.

Why not just say "That was a horrible horrible thing, a disgrace to humanity." There was no "mess" he inherited that justified that. Having a tyrant in another country is not an "inherited mess" for OUR country that justifies genocide of THEIR citizens.

There's some seriously through-the-looking-glass logic going on here. He was a tyrant - doesn't that mean we should be worried about HIM committing genocide and starving the masses? I don't know when it became our job to preemptively out-tyrant the tyrants by torturing/starving the people who live under their rule - just in case they were planning to do it later themselves.
