Waaaait
My response to a comment on my blog… My lack of compassion attests to my hatred of Bush? My lack of compassion? Because I don’t think putting our troops in Iraq for twice as long as they were supposed to be there is fair? Because I don’t think the way to take down a dictator who slaughters people in his own country is to march troops(and not enough troops) through it and slaughtering people in his country along the way?
War is horrible. So when you go to war, and yes I believe sometimes you have to fight, you better have a fucking good reason. Bush kept changing that reason reducing its validity.
When it comes down to it you could say it’s because Saddam was a dictator who slaughtered his own people. Which means America is now the cop, judge, and jury and must go to every country where the people are being slaughtered and mutilated by their government. If that’s your only valid reason, which it is, since Saddam opposed no threat to the United States. The United States is much farther away than Iraqi citizens are.
But oh, that’s right, America usually puts that government into power or gives them weapons. Ex: Saddam Hussein, the Taliban.
Real compassionate conservatives like my relatives for instance, don’t believe in war. Jesus teaches love =P
