I should have known a bunch of you whiny *****es would try to derail my thread. Fine. Complain all you want about this thread being tasteless. Weapons kill people, no ****. But looking at the military weaponry and equipment that is used from an engineering standpoint it is hard not to be impressed by what some of these things can do.

The difference is that the terrorist are doing it on purpose.

One of those pictures you could be banned for nowadays I guess. Both here and IRL:

That forgives everything.

Edit : Kroptokin, I don't think you'll get banned for this. Mods are knit-tight for incivility, but they allow any opinion. I didn't even get a warning from my "poor taste" post.

No, it does not forgive anything. It justifies it.

I happen to believe this war is led for the greater good of the Bush administration, and these people are few. (don't get me wrong, I also think the end of Saddam will be a truly great side effect)

I don't think that either, I'm just being somewhat sarcastic over it all. IMHO the administrators of this forums performance have been below par for a while now.

Donegeal,

Saddham is a stupid and %&$% dictator, a massmurder for sure... but Hitler was an interely different story. He had few competitors in ALL humankind history... IMHO, of course.

And that is the question here, isn't? Is Saddham like Hitler?

Do you seriously still think the Bush is doing this to pad his pocket book? Look at all the heat he is taking from both Stateside and abroad. The man will never be able to leave the country again after this.

Not to mention the US media. Look at all the crap Clinton got for a BJ! If the main reason Bush is doing this is for money, it won't work.

OK... back to Saddam. You seem to agree that the world would be a better place with out him. There is no way he leaves on his own. The Iraqi people have been under his thumb and scrutiny for so long they wouldn't know how to overthrow him. The muslim nation doesn't like him but won't do anything to get rid of him because it would mean muslin fighting muslim. How would you propose getting rid of him?

Plenty of threads have already been created for this kind of debate, so take it elsewhere. Leave this alone, unless you've got pics to post.

Yes he is. On a much smaller scale. To me, it seems like the US is being Pro-active in trying to prevent him from going to a larger scale. This is also why I will not be suporized when in a while (months to a couple of years) Bush gets pro-active again with Kim in N. Korea.
