Firstly Al is an asshole, plain and simple.
Secondly he shows a crude and low level intellect, and an emotional instability that makes him a prime target to be oh so much like the vast number of stupid chattel in the middle east that mindlessly swallow whatever fundamentalist bullshit quasi-governmental terrorist agencies spew out.
The ultimate goal of the United States is to establish a free and democratic Iraq. Any opposition to that goal, at this point, is purely a vote for anarchy, perhaps even a return to dictatorship, support for pain and suffering, short sighted, simpleminded, inappropriate, and ultimately against the interests of all human beings in the region.
Now, the position that removing Saddam Hussein wasn’t warranted is a rational one, I disagree with it, but I can accept it. The position that Iraq was better off with Saddam Hussein is a position I strongly oppose, but I can see the logic behind it, I can see how you can make a conclusion that at least “makes sense” about a lot of things. I disagree strongly with it, though.
But those are just opinions, and just because they are different from mine doesn’t make them evil or even necessarily incorrect.
But at this juncture, if you oppose the U.S. occupation then all you are contributing to is Civil War, a collapse of civil government, and most likely mass murder on a horrifying scale in Iraq. Maybe you believe U.S. efforts are futile, that doesn’t justify trying to tear the country down and place it into anarchy. Iraqi’s cannot govern themselves right now, period. But they are making progress. But only through the sheer force of the U.S. military can any control be had over the country.
When we took over Nazi Germany some innocent Germans died, it was ultimately for the best, I feel we have the same situation here. Our occupation of the Confederacy after the Civil War was quite harsh, so must occupations be when you are trying to give order to chaos.
So eventhough there are valid reasons to opposing the Iraq war, at this exact juncture if you oppose U.S. efforts then your “opinion” is the opinion of a cruel and idiotic person, the type of person that should be killed and hunted down if they take any martial actions to reflect these opinions.
Furthermore the implication that the U.S. is occupying Iraq in a negative manner is crass bullshit. We aren’t there establishing a dictatorship to follow our will like the Nazis did in France. We may be pushing our world view but we at least have made it clear we ultimately will give the government back to the Iraqis of our own free will. After which time someday, many years from now, if you feel stupid enough or retarded enough you can probably return it to the barbaric Islamic Fundamentalist state or Arab nationalist state that you may want to see. But since Iraqis are not currently capable of running their own state, we are going to be the nannies. And ultimately all you can do about it is piss and moan and cry (or if you are feeling particularly stupid die by the tens of thousands just so you can kill a dozen or so Americans and feel like you’ve accomplished something because it made it on CNN) about trivialities like civilian casualties, and fail to recognize the horrible necessities that come when we have to correct the problems of correcting other countries collossal messes.
