Huh? Think before you post. Democracy is something that came with culture.

Saddam was supported by Soviets, not Brits or US, so read your history books first.

The West’s been meddling in Iraq since the early 1900s. Had the Brits and US not regime-changed Iraq decades ago and put in Saddam and kept subverting actual democracy, Iraq would have slowly become secular. But gotta get them resources, don’t we?

“which had never experienced a suicide attack before”

Liar, there had been several suicide attacks against Saddam’s forces.

The guy is so University-level stupid that the same argument can be said that that German Army of 1942 was much bigger than one of 1939. So what?

The Good Friday agreement stopped the violence by giving Gerry Adams a well-paid job. It didn’t achieve any British objectives other than stopping the violence, and may ultimately result in Northern Ireland becoming part of the Republic of Ireland.

“occupation is the leading risk factor producing over 95 percent of the suicide attacks”

That cuts both ways! If Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein hadn’t been “occupying” Denmark, he wouldn’t have killed those two people.

“go back to the American occupation, Fallujah, Abu Ghraib”

Because, as we all know, nobody in the world has moral agency except white male Americans.

“Before the invasion of Iraq, there were about 50 suicide attacks occurring around the world in 2001 and 2002 and only a handful of those were anti-American”

Perhaps so, but I seem to recall that one of them, in September, 2001, was anti-American and rather, uh, large… Care to compare death tolls involving American civilians between those years? I didn’t think so, pal.

This guy might have a point, but it’s so wrapped up in anti-American and anti-Bush BS, it’s hard to tell
