  1. Kerry now says he'd have gone to war too... by the_skywise · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    See the link So the casualty count would probably have been the same. Remember to vote!

    Due to "America's war"? Make sure you vote? Maybe /. should take their American flag off of the politics topic banner and replace it with a flower or something. Iraq had problems and we went to help. How many of those 100,000 civilians were involved in attempts to attack American troops? How about the hundreds of thousands of people who are now free from tyranny in Iraq under Sadam's regime?

  3. Saddam makes Republicans look good. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Quoting the parent comment: "Typical Republican response: Sure, I'm a fuck-up, but so and so is too!"

    More like, "Sure, I'm an evil person influenced only by selfish stupidity, but Saddam is worse." And, "That gives us superior people the moral authority to kill thousands of other people. Violence is the answer to violence."

    It takes a guy like Saddam to make Republicans look good. That's why he is so important to them.
