Very ture. But for the U.S. to take action or to do something, it is suppose to be constitutional first. The Constitution is U.S. law and governs what and how the U.S. reacts. Something could be pefectly legal and right in all the other countries of the world, but if it isn't constitutional, it is illegal here.

By the way, I love your signature. Ataturk had it exactly right.

l am against all wars in favor of imperialism

is it clear now ?

Not really. So you are for the US striking Syria...as long as we do not invade? You were for the Iraq War, both 1 and 2 since we were not imperialistic there? You were for the US assisting the South Vietnamese against the imperialist North? You were for the US aid to South Korea when invaded by the North... You were for the US going into both Grenada and Panama, since we were seeking no territory? You agree with the tremendous service the US did in Japan and Germany rebuilding our enemies after going to War with them and setting them free afterwards? So you pretty much agree with American foreign Policy from at least WW2 on?

Sweeeeet.
 
It wasn't illegal, but I disagree with it. We spent 8 years there, and accomplished what, exactly? Yay, we killed Saddam, now more violent assholes are butchering people in that **** hole, and the Iraqis we trained turned out to be either completely worthless, or already in bed with the regional insurgencies. Hundreds of thousands killed, and not a damned thing to show for it.

US foreign policy in that region was 'stagnation through destabilization'. Obviously, that didn't work out so well and thus policy was changed.

The US crippled Saddam and enforced a no-fly zone to prevent further genocide within a couple years of the genocide of the Kurds.

not for kurds of course ,for oil
Click to expand...

The US never attempted to or recieved any oil. All of the infrastructure contracts went to China. There is no evidence, before or after, that the war was for oil.

you know how many children died because of embargo applied to iraq ?

None. Food and medicine were never restricted.

Ask whomever you want, it's not esoteric. Everyone has easy access to these facts.

l dont defend such invasions unlike you

why dont you want to understand ?
 
Medusa said:
cpwil nevers denies the oil factor

There's nothing to deny. There is no evidence prior, during or after the invasion that points to US oil interests. The US gets almost no oil from Iraq, never has.

facts dont change according to one's age ,lizzie

No, they don't, but if you were a child, it's pretty unlikely that you were acutely aware of the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, and if you knew about it, I doubt you much cared.

ok, so you opposed Iraq invading Kuwait... now we're getting somewhere.

soooo.. what do you think should have happened to Iraq after their invaded Kuwait?

ask them nicely to leave?... sanction them?.. or force them to leave with violence?
