inhale, exhale, relax. your keyboard will be grateful.

Anyway, I don´t want to be put into one pot with this nonsense, when I asked you if you´re a muslim I did not mean it in any conneciton to your opinions about Iraq war, OK? Even though everybody seems to think that. I hate this whole category thing, am I already known as one of these left-wing idiotic idealists?

I'm not muslim per se, but I am from a muslim background, yes.

Just like Christmas is a celebration of the Christian tradition and yet so many christians still celebrate it.

I'm agnostic/atheist in between, yes.

What isnt any justification, her opinions?

She has already given her reasoning. Why should she keep having to repeat herself?

Now...please would some other sane person agree with me before I go crazy!

No, I won't agree, I'm dubiously sane though.

I will agree that the deposition of Saddam Hussein is a positive step and that he had a track record of attrocities that should warrant him to have to stand before an international court.
I don't agree with the disingenuous reasoning for war, the lack of clear international legitimacy, the unilateralism. The fact it's still a reactionary backlash after the tragedy of 11/9. I think TB showed a lot of arrogance over the issue, and the Conservatives might as well have just polished his shoes. I'm perplexed by their seeming confusion at the fact they weren't welcomed with open arms and I despair at they're naivety over the war. I'm also uncomfortable with us imposing our morals on other societies, and as such regarding anything we do as superior.

It's not that the war wasn't needed, it's more how it was conducted.
Oooh ooh, blame the french, whatever. :rolleyes:

why? an Iraqi trial will be more appropriate, and unless it is not capable of handling such a case, must be given preference to an endless international circus.

more than one country. count them all.

its reactionary alright, i would expect nothing less of a capable leader.

they were, in general, welcomed in Iraq and received very little opposition.

like ideas of freedom and equality between sexes? as a woman, im appalled to hear that you dont find the oppression of women inferior to the rights i, and other women in this country, enjoy.

Absolutely. I meant things like that before, when I said I don't think something like inequality is acceptable just because it happens to be in a different country with different cultural values. Freedom is a human right, and it is in the interest of humans (wherever you are still human) that we act and make sure everyone gets this basic thing.

It would be very selfish to stay confined to your own country in that sense and not care about the rights we take for granted but others are not getting...
