If Gulf War II breaks out, who do you want to win it?

Shi Huangdi · March 5, 2003, 20:44

I know there are many here who oppose a war with Iraq, but so far very few apolytoners have said before they want Iraq to win like David Floyd and Comrade Tribune have. I was wondering how many Apolytoners here agreed with those two....

"If" ?

Demerzel · March 5, 2003, 20:56

If Britain fights then obviously I'd want Britain to win. No brainer.

With all due respect to our servicemen, I hope that the United States loses. Of course, I still hope that somehow war can be averted.

id like to see americans stay alive and if that means they win so be it. but hopefully the occupation forces will be run from the country quickly

Did you have something to add Tass?

BTW, I hit the wrong button.

I hit US/lose instead of US/win.

ACK!

SlowwHand · March 5, 2003, 21:05

You might want to cut out the "all due respect" part, as we all know it's bullshit. Your comments show no respect whatsoever...

Let's not get personal here. People are welcome to their opinions, even if you personally think their opinions suck

Something tells me this thread isn't going to last long...

SlowwHand · March 5, 2003, 21:09

Whew! Thank you, Drake.

monkspider · March 5, 2003, 21:09

That said, I think the chances of the America being defeated are very slim indeed. The best chances for that to happen would probably involve some sort of a pan-Arab alliance forming somehow. If the outgunned, outmanned, and seemingly, hopeless Iraqi army somehow managed to defeat America, it would be a true testament to the human spirit. A ragtag army of misfts defeating the most powerful empire in the history of world. I would never rule anything out and remember, that God loves an underdog.

Don't you know that in war there are only loosers

Where is the "I'm a Banana, and I hope they will both loose" option?

There's a difference in not supporting a war and making a statement like that.

This is America, not Communist China. He's allowed to say something like that.

You're the one who seems to not like American freedom of speech, so I'd suggest this time you be the one to get your ass out of the country. Try Paraguay, Laz tells me it's wonderful.

Until the war is shown to be just on the part of the U.S. and allies (which it hasn't), any military action is unjust aggression. The unjust aggressors should always lose.

Should the situation change (someone magically produces something resembling a coherent just cause to attack Iraq), then of course the U.S. and allies should hopefully prevail.

In the event of the former scenario, I would count the death of every U.S. service person as a murder by Bush & Co. They will have been responsible for the unjust deaths of their own people, as well as Iraqis.

I truly do respect our servicemen, it is simply a matter of taking into consideration the betterment of the world as a whole. And in that light, I consider it to be better if a war of naked aggression was defeated. That said, I still pray that somehow war is averted, which is entirely the optimal scenario by far.

Uncle Sparky · March 5, 2003, 21:12

I vote that we drop the leaders* of both countries in a very deep pit and seal it as a time capsule to be opened in 2059.

* By leaders & mean the top 20 morons in each government.

Boris Godunov · March 5, 2003, 21:14

Just top 20? Oh come on...we need room for at least 600, I'd say.

Yes the world will be much better off if the blood of American servicemen is spilled all over the sands of Iraq and the noble Saddam Hussein is allowed to continue his benevolent reign over the Iraqi people.

Your ignorance is sickening...

I find that doubtful in this case.

Boris, you're the biggest whinebag I've ever had the pleasure of enduring.
Well, next to David.

I'm interested in the results of this poll to see exactly how Apolyton think on this issue. Can't you just merely restrain the posters in question rather then closing the thread?

Thanks.

SlowwHand · March 5, 2003, 21:19

I deleted it, monk. I thought better of it for the very reason Ming noted.
But Candyass Boris felt an obligation to be his usual self.

Ming · March 5, 2003, 21:20

So much for people not getting personal...

This thread is toast. and anybody that starts it again will get restricted.
