Yea, because as we all know, America routinely slaughters millions of civilians because they're racially inferior. Israeli children sings songs about slaughtering Arabs, and Turkey... Well okay. TUrkey's not great. But I still think that your comparison proves just what an idiot you are. |
those who support murderous regimes are murderers themselves.
(reminds you of anything recent Bush said?)
when you support a regime that is against my country you are my enemy too.
luckily though, things are not so black and white (tell it to Bush)

Not really. The America public's really iffy on attacking Iraq, because despite the fact that Saddam's regime is evil, it's not a suppoter of terrorism, the way Iran or Libya is. He'd actually make a beter case with the US people by discussing Iran, as they're known to support terrorism (see the missiles that were shipped to Palestine).
The only way he can get a casus belli with America (and to, a lesser extent, the world, who's lately had a habit of cheering for the asteroids if NASA was the world's last hope of stopping a comet) is if Iraq refuses to let weapons inspectors in.

So either you're acting like an idiot (as there are more than a few instances of Greek support for terrorists/seperatists) or you're being deliberately inflammatory to provoke response. Which technically is the same thing as the former choice, I suppose.

When I said "get away with", I meant "get away with not attacking Iraq". The US public is up in arms right now, and much of that is due to the attitude of the White House. They wanted to use the opportunity to attack, and the first step in doing so was to whip up domestic support. They misjudged in thinking they could take the next step, though (support in ME), and so now they're going have to carefully back down without the US public seeing them as doing so.
