N'oublions pas que quoi qu'il arrive ensuite en Irak, aujourd'hui, demain ou dans dix ans, il y a un tyran assassin et un régime violent en moins. Il y a des enfants, des femmes et des hommes qui ne finiront pas inhumés morts ou vifs dans les tréfonds d'une fosse commune. Pour cela, et pour cela seulement, cette guerre était juste.
Le reste m'est égal.
Good conclusion, it is certainly THE POINT on which pro-war and ant-war (like me) could agree. as well about Valeri"s commnt : "
Saddam's regime was a WMD. All dictators' regimes are WMD.
Although I still do not agree with this war I can bring you here another positive result : Saddam's supported terrorist actions in Israel by important financial rewards to kamikazes families. Without this support, hopefully more Palestinians will support a peacefull solution (if possible).
I stop here praising the "rival side" and carry on with a few questions :
All about Saddam was already known during FIRST GULF WAR (You remember ? this with some little Frenchies here and there ?) WHY HELL this war was stopped half a way ? WHY HELL did we abandon l Kurdes and Chiites we called for insurection against Saddam ?
We placed Iraq under control and sanctions which just limited his military capacities but let him free to kill massivly his own people DURING 12 YEARS. Why ???
I Cannot understand the American diplomatic action to get support on this war. They insisted about these famous WMD with some obvious lies and false documents and claming that whatever would be the (lack of) support. they would go at it. So crazy that it looks like the American government did not wish this support. Why ??
like jerseycityjoan, I don't know anything about the REAL REASONS but can't prevent to think about simple Géo-polytic. America does not need this oil but Europe, Asia and Africa does. Then, who rules in Iraq have a powerfull leverage on word economy.
Now let's hope that the real work necessary to make this war profitable for Iraqi will be done.
Let's hope success to this roadmap to peace between Israel and Palestine
Should just one of these difficult task be performed, then, I will not tell that I am wrong (impossible) but for the least... change my mind.
PS : Dissident Frogman, je me tape le cul parterre et la tête contre les murs en lisant les 99% de ce que tu ecris. Il reste néamoins 1% de chose que j'approuve et un site très bien foutu. Professionnellement, Bravo.
