    I'm not talking about the soldiers, I am talking about the hundreds of thousands of innocent civillians who have needlessly been murdered.

    I think thats a very harsh thing to type up.

    To be proud of soldiers to lead into occupying another country and to kill over 1 million innocent civilians is not human in my honest opinion.

    There are easier ways of taking a man like him out.

    It was all a convenient plot to get onto Iraqi land.


    Why do the armed forces not go in pursuit of the likes of Mugabe ?

    So you both have agreed that armed forces in iraq have led to the demise of e evil tyrant and just not for oil? Like it or not, Zimbabwe is a sovereign country, and you can't kill a head of state just because you don't like him. Getting rid of him is his government's job.

    Where did you get the figure of over 1 million civilian deaths in Iraq? Most reports I've seen put at between 65,000 and 120,000. The only report with significantly higher numbers that I've seen is the Lancet which used statistical analysis where as Iraq Body Count has used verifiable reports and I believe are a more accurate figure.

    usa only ''protect'' people in countries where they have interests...

    why don't they go to africa and fight against dictators there... because they wouldn't benefit from african countries...

    The word "Still" would you of said 10 years ago that their might still be torture and deaths of thousands and thousands of innocents under the rule of a tyrant? no becuase you would know for a fact that it would of been going on for certain before we invaded them.

    Its the very people like you who read something on the internet and believe it which makes me cringe, dont believe everyething you see on the internet. You honestly think that all the armed soldiers go out all guns blazing killing everything they see, go and go to Iraq and Afhanistan yourself and see for yourself and talk to some of our troops instead of watching videos and reading * on the internet some guys made to make money:38:
