Let's frame it differently...
"George Bush is a thug! He should be tried for crimes against humanity! Killing innocent people has no justification what so ever towards his ego! Waging a full scale war just to send a message is unacceptable!

So Russia going into George is wrong, but the United States going into Iraq is right. Atmos, more than anything, you tell me why Latinlover IS NOT a hypocrite. Because it seems like you're just another radical nationalist just like Latinlover. The US can only do right, while any other country which does the same thing we do, is wrong...please...
Iraq is by far, an exponentially worse disaster than the current situation in Georgia. One hundred thousand dead, and 4 million refugees. The Bush administration has no moral basis to tell Russia not to "violate international law" by invading Georgia. So please, spare me the right wing bullshit rhetoric about how noble America's cause in Iraq is... |
Ok, I hate to break it to you but war requires sacrifice, it requires death, time, money, honor, discipline, and so much more than just words.
None of the freedoms you see yourself with today that you take for granted would even exist if it woouldnt be for the sacrifices made by millions in the past. Get that idealistic peaceful world society out of your mind cause it wont get you anywhere.
On 9/11, terrorist attacks in the US changed us completely. If you're some conspirator than it will be very hard to get my message across. But, here we go. Behind these attacks was Osama and al-Qaeda.
Ok so we go into afghanistan, everyones ok with that, but we have a military dictator in Iraq who is developing nuclear energy and who "supposedly" has WMD's.. The intelligence has been wrong many times before in the past. Anyway, this dictator is opressing his nation on extreme levels...thats already enough reason for me,understanding the hardships of opression. Also, we have him funding al-Qaeda which leads intelligence to believe that if he does have such WMD's, than those can be handed over to the oh so rich Osama bin Laden.
We invaded for National Security purposes and for morality.
Everyone supported the war in the beginning, loving the idea of America liberating an opressed nation, but slowly began becoming worried about the length and commitment that had to be made.
Can't you see past the sacrifice that has to be made and look onto a future with possibilities, democracy, and an ally in such a hostile region?
Now you tell me Russia's reason for invading Georgia.
Protecting their citizens? BULLSHIT! Why the fuck are they in Gori now? Why the hell are they bombing international airports? Why the hell do they have so many tanks, soldiers, and fucking artillery when Georgia is a small 1 million nation.
Tell me.
