What you get is just more barbarism - but apparently that's okay for you. That's probably why you are sympathetic to republicans - when they are confronted with a difficult situation they prefer to blow it up or put it in prison. \r\n\r\nYou lose the moral high-ground very quickly since the difference between your approach and Saddam's approach is that you have a vast army. If Saddam had the resources that Bush does, he would be doing exactly the same thing.","author":"andrew","parent_id":38771,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-03-23 08:28:23","modified":"2003-03-23 08:28:23","fileurl":""},{"id":38812,"heading":"Now stop right there","article":"Just like that you compare "Bush's barbarism" to "Saddam's barbarism". The US military spends billions of dollars on technology to avoid hitting civilians. Saddam gasses them.\r\n\r\nYou have really got your mind into a twist, I just wish you know what it is like to live under a tyrant with no hope of ever being free from fear, even in your own home. Then perhaps you wouldn't be so quick to use words like "Bush junta". \r\n\r\nAt least you know you can vote them out in a year or two.\r\nPull yourself together people and stop attacking your own country. The US has done more in the last century for human freedom and dignity than any other country.

You live in fear of unemployment? Whose job is it to make sure you have a job? I have always taken responsibility for finding myself a job. You live in fear of homelessness? I provide my own shelter. We are fortunate enough to live in a country where we can determine our own success and before you begin the usual rant about discrimination, I am a minority, was not born with money and never finished college. I still manage to remain gainfully employed and have done so since I was 16.
