I am going to paraphrase what I got from this article: "We understand the concerns of our allies in the international community," Karzai told reporters Saturday.... [now go **** yourselves. Religion over State]

It's almost sick Irony, we send out soldiers in there to fight for the right of the Afghanistan (And I am sure the Iraqi Government) to make laws that allowed Saddam and the Taliban to rise in the first place which they chose originally.

There are some that say we couldn't withdraw because our soldiers would have die invain, but if the new governments simply allow similar dictators to rise doesn't that mean they died invain?
 

Neither country will have a dictatorship. And the point of the news story is that this new law allows husbands to rape their wives.

Saddam was useful in not only resisting Communism but also preventing the spread of the Iranian Islamic Revolution and the Taliban was a creation of the Pakistani ISI.

Saddam used Chemical weapons on his own people. So you are saying as long as a dictator was against Russia, that oks him killing his own people?

Kinda true, Saddam supported Arab Socialism which was coined as a "third way" sort of speak between Western Capitalism and Soviet Communism.

No, but I can see why you'd think so.

Funny since I am not the one that supported Saddam your point is moot. You however seemed to see a good in supporting a mass murderer. One would think you would see the good in supporting Hitler killing the Jews if the U.S. got something good out of it.
 

You have a skewed way of interpreting reality sometimes. Calm down, re-read my posts and you'll see the flaw in your perception I hope.

You looked into the good of supporting saddam even though he killed his own people because of it. NOTHING you say can escape your comments on that one.

You're spinning this. bhkad didn't say that Saddam was a benign dictator. He merely provided the geopolitical reasons of why the US at one time supported the Saddam regime.
