So you think that disenfranchisement of huge swathes of the populace, a lack of education and people being imprisoned and tortured

is better than the situation right now where people actually have OPPORTUNITY in their life?

The state was the mechanism being used to keep people down, and that is never preferable to anything.

I'm not advocating that I'd rather prefer Saddam's Iraq, not at all. I despise a lot of the things he's done to the Iraqis. Do I honestly believe that when comparing the situation then with the situation now that the Iraqis weren't as worse off as they are now? Yes, I do. That doesn't mean I'm saying I'd prefer Iraqi under Saddam compared to the current situation. I'm merely comparing them and giving my opinion on which one is worse - ideally we'd obviously avoid both situations though. I don't like what Saddam did whatsoever but what's going on right now with ISIS is even worse IMO and I'm just hoping it doesn't escalate.

That's a very simplistic way to look at things.

I'm sure people were saying the same during the Selma riots but do you think black enfranchisement was worth the trouble?

Different topic entirely, but I can see the parallels you're trying to bring out; however I'd say yes, it was necessary because it would've definitely crept up again and again. A lot of people suffered, but IMO it's good to see that their suffering didn't go in vain. Black enfranchisement was a massive thing back then, and if it was allowed to go on it would've even created an uglier scene IMO.

A few months before September 11th while I was still studying at the states, someone knocked on my door. When I opened there were two Muslims at the door

In hindsight, was there a clue that it was coming?

:

Over 200000 people killed in hours. Regardless of the circumstances, that is a war crime.

Because one is actually better and the other is actually worse. The similarities you are trying to draw between the two do not overwrite the glaring differences.

It was a different time.

The Japanese made IS look like saints. They believed anyone that was not Japanese was a subhuman savage. With this belief they killed, raped and tortured without mercy.

China suffered imaginable horror. Look up "The Rape of Nanking".

Pregnant women were not spared. In several instances, they were raped, then had their bellies slit open and the fetuses torn out. Sometimes, after storming into a house and encountering a whole family, the Japanese forced Chinese men to rape their own daughters, sons to rape their mothers, and brothers their sisters, while the rest of the family was made to watch.

Throughout the city of Nanking, random acts of murder occurred as soldiers frequently fired their rifles into panicked crowds of civilians, killing indiscriminately. Other soldiers killed shopkeepers, looted their stores, then set the buildings on fire after locking people of all ages inside. They took pleasure in the extraordinary suffering that ensued as the people desperately tried to escape the flames by climbing onto rooftops or leaping down onto the street.

Do a bit of research on Unit 731 and you'll understand what a war crime truly is.

It's estimated 300,000 were killed in the blasts and aftereffects of radiation. Do you know what estimates were from a land invasion? 5,000,000 dead Japanese is the conservative estimate and 1,700,000 American casualties (400,000 dead). To this day when an American soldier is injured or killed in combat, the Purple Heart he/she is awarded comes from stock made for the invasion of Japan. So after conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan we still haven't had the numbers hurt or killed that an invasion of Japan would have incurred. 300,000 against 5,400,000 or 10,800,000 there's no rational argument the correct call was not made. (Some say Japan was looking for a conditional surrender already, to that I say the only surrender acceptable was unconditional.)

You mentioned that Lebanese soldiers fought of terrorists without hurting civilians. That's wonderful (our police are just as likely to kill us to save themselves...), but the difference is that your soldiers were protecting your fellow citizens. I don't think its reasonable to think the Israelis would take the same efforts protect Palestinian lives.

So your whole point is because western nation intervene everything went to hell?

Then how come it didn't happen in Nicaragua when USA was there?

How come it didn't happen in Dominican Republic when USA was there?

They did not become terrorist organization like all these countries in the middle east!

And dismantle Israel, you have no idea what your asking.

You are joking right ?.

Ok lets ignore the 70 countries that the US has intervened in since 1945 in order to get the govt they want, resulting in over 40 million deaths, and just look at the two you mentioned.

Nicaragua. The US under Reagan in the 80s trained right wing Contras, death squads in Honduras with the sole aim of overthrowing the elected Sandanistas in Nicaragua. (The money for this was funded by the illegal sales of arms to Iran, a scandal which almost toppled Reagan). 30 000 people were murdered by Washington sponsored death squads in Nicaragua. many dragged from their beds and tortured for days before being killed. This is real terrorism. The US has invaded the Dominican Republic four times because they wanted a certain tyoe of government, not one the people elected.

For the long term peace of the middle East including Israelis the state should be dismantled imo. 90% of 'Israelis' are from Eastern Europe, they speak Hebrew and talk quote land given to them by god which is ridiculous. The cold war now has ended , the Third reich has gone, and it is safe for them to return to their countries instead of being a US sattelite army encampment with shopping malls and swimming pools.

Yeah and despite all that did Nicaragua and Dominican Republic turn to terrorism like in the middle east?

Since you said this is the cause of intervention, but if it was true it would happen everywhere.

And I keep saying you have no idea what your talking about in dismantling Israel. It's not an idea I will ever support.

No maybe they didnt turn to 'terrorism' as you put it because they were dead. Killing 30 000 people in Nicaragua by US sponsored death squads, because they want a US friendly govt -ie expolitation of the country, is real terrorism by my standards

Your second sentence -do you mean 'intervention is the cause' ? In Iraq the US has deliberately created a power vacuum the architect being John Negroponte, who has created Shia death squads. Negroponte was the “man for the job”. As US Ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985. Negroponte played a key role in supporting and supervising the Nicaraguan Contras based in Honduras as well as overseeing the activities of the Honduran military death squads.

The US sponsored death squads in Iraq idea was confirmed by the Pentagon in 2005. They are also active in Syria-it is called ''The El Salvador Option''.

Yes I don't debate all that I never did.

I'm just challenging your original idea that intervention cause terrorist organization.

And I pointed that your wrong because if it was true it would have happened in every country.

But for some reason it only happens in the middle east and not in Nicaragua, Dominican Republic and such....

OK maybe its because theyre dead. Think we'll leave it there.

[Fernando 6,585]

Who's dead? Nicaragua is there, DR is there and the people leaving peacefully with no terrorist organization.

So are you saying in order for a country in the middle east to be peaceful like DR that all the terrorists must die?

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

The plan for greater Israel and fracturing of islamic states is called -ODED YINON.

Basicallly the plan is to shatter the Islamic countries into pieces. Here is a quote: "The dissolution of Syria and Iraq into ethnically or religiously unique areas is Israel's primary target." Iran is to suffer the same fate. Some say it is the U.S., under Zionist control, carrying out these illegal genocidal wars for Israel; and in the process expending blood and treasure while becoming the most hated and feared nation.

Look mate, the US killed 30 000 people in Nicaragua, cant make it any clearer. That is terrorism

But it does not create terrorism like in the middle east.

You can say USA did this and that.

But all I'm talking is your view that because USA intervenes then it creates terrorism as an after affect.

And that's a lie cause if it was true we would see the same type of chaos and atrocities that we see in middle east terrorist organization in Latin America.

No they didnt create terrorists/freedom fighters in Central and South America to that extent because they set up de facto Washington friendly governments and dictators Pinochet, etc -mass murdering cunts. .

In the middle east I am sure you are aware, or maybe not, it is more complex and there the US has created what it likes to call, and you, terrorism. Its perfectly simple, even the Pentagon admits it, but I think your right wing perspective wont allow you to understand it.

Right......
