This is getting way off topic, but the point is, the US is not responsible for the creation of this terrorist group - the individual members are wholly responsible for their actions.

Whether the members would have come together to form a group in the absence of US action is a fun thing to debate, but it has no bearing on the responsibility of the members for their actions.

If she's above him, they haven't penetrated anything, its just a mm away, but like you said...lock him up as a brutal rapist for 20 years because he pressed on her shoulders for a few seconds after being drugged, teased and basically mounted

so are you suggesting the US drugged, teased and mounted the terrorists in their attacks on Iraqis?

I don't think we went that far...

the rape example is excellent IMO, but whatever

any way you look at it, these terrorists are guilty of their own actions. Nobody put a gun to their head and forced them to do anything.

The suggestion that the US "created" an enemy is just stupid. Nobody made them do it. It's a childish argument that most parents knock of out their children before they hit elementary school.

No, Saddam would still be killing anyone that stood in his way and their families at will. His sons would still be raping and torturing.

Of course, Saddam controlled ALL media (including CNN) in country so we didn't hear about that stuff on a dailey basis. But you and a lot of other people pine for the good old days of Saddam in control and of "ignorance is bliss."

Saddam was the recognized ruler of Iraq, it was well in his authority to stop the country from breaking apart just like Lincoln did

And I think hundreds of thousands of militants > 2 sons (btw what ruler have you ever heard of that personally sent their sons to prison for crimes outside the family?)

So we're comparing murderous dictators to US presidents?

He murdered 100's of thousands of people. Used poisen gas on men, women and children. But it wasn't that bad because CNN was only reporting what Saddam spoon fed them and you were as happy as can be. You and others wanted to appease him. Liberals, thy name is appeasement

Appeasement cost millions of Jews and Gentiles their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated far too long before realizing that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to agreements. Appeasement stabilized the Communist Soviet Union and the former East Germany, those parts of Eastern Europe where inhuman, suppressive governments were glorified as the ideological alternative. Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo, and we debated and debated and were still debating when the Americans finally came in and did our work for us. Rather than protecting the only democracy in the Middle East, European appeasement, camouflaged behind the fuzzy word "equidistance," relativizes the fundamentalist Palestinian suicide bombings in Israel. Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to condone the 300,000 victims of Saddam's torture and murder machinery in Iraq and condemn the actions of George Bush in the self-righteousness of the peace movement. And in the end it is also appeasement at its most grotesque when Germany reacts to the escalating violence of Islamic fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere by proposing a national Muslim holiday.
