Arguing with Tass is like slamming your fist into a brick wall. I got a headache now too...

I think its best the U.S. just withdraw all troops immediately and let the U.N. take the heat for this.
There should be U.N. peacekeepers so everyone blames the U.N. for everything that goes wrong, not the U.S.

First post Boris has said I completely agree with...
Tass, quite contradicting yourself.

Terrorist is relative (Bin Laden wasn't a terrorist till he turned on us), POd army leftovers.......Ill give you that.
But I highly doubt they were all army leftovers. And Saddam loyalists are part of the "people" too, just as Clinton or Bush or Mao or Stalin or Hitler or anyleadernamehere loyalists are.

Naw, Fez, a stiff wind should blow it over... Tass only addressed the argument I had listed as "Bad Argument" and completely ignored the "Good Argument".

And, just as in labor union deals, we'll give them all a 6 week cooling down period before discussions are held. A party is not a good way to cool down.

You are a liar... a complusive liar. If you want to play Iraqi Information Minister, you did a very good job at it. Mr. Sahaf.

IMO after all the problems in Bagdad due to large parties that turned into riots that then lead to Iraq hatred of the US because everything was getting trashed - breaking up the party was a good idea. Good preventative measueres.

And tell the Iraqis (intentionally or not) that "You can't have freedom of expression QUITE YET......."? Would that not cause resentment?
It was fifty people......We should've just allowed it to run its course.

It's better than there being deadly violence.
Look, you know my position on the war itself, but now that we're engaged, the number one goal should be to protect the lives of as many people as possible, ours and theirs. Allowing pro-Saddam demonstrations when the war isn't even over is just plain stupid and asking for trouble we don't want.

The article mentions nothing of deadly violence. It was just a celebration, and if someone threw a stone or whatever, then we should come in. We occupy the city, it would be pretty easy.

The Baathist party was clearly engaged in a variety of illegal and immoral activity. It is completely correct to limit support of illegal activity in any society.
Fez's arguments are right on.
Somebody please wake up Tass.

Does that mean we send labor unionists back to their houses not to speak out against us until the six weeks are up? No......

Tassadar = Apolyton's [Dis]Information Minister
You are full of propaganda. Maybe you should study more about Sahaf because you are just like him. Your argument is full of holes and BS.

They supported SADDAM HUSSEIN.....They supported a person, not an action. Therefore, they supported no illegal thing.
And even then, millions of Americans support illegal activities within their own country.....Freedom of Speech again.

A silly move by the Americans, but quite understandable, given the heat of the moment. Free speech is not an end in itself, it's way of ensuring responsible government. The Iraqis can say what they want, but it will have no effect on the governing of their country.
