Re: 78% - 22% percent "divided"

Post #230,947 by JayMehaffey 10/25/05 10:16:38 PM Reply	Re: 78% - 22% percent "divided" [my arithmetic's a bit dodgy when i'm in a hurry. but still better than yours] Did you even read my post? I was commenting on the fact that in more then half the regions the vote was 95% one way or the other. It was pretty much a given that the majority was going to support it, since it was written by the two largest groups to favor the two largest groups. And it did just pass, because it would only have taken a small shift in the vote in Nineveh to hit the the rejected in three areas rule. As for the rest of your gloating, get a grip. Even if this does lead to a stable government in Iraq it has cost us 2000 lives directly, plus who knows how many more indirectly. And it has done nothing to make us safer, in fact the war in Iraq has lead the major Islamic terrorist groups to expand as they take advantage of the publicity to reqruit faster then ever. Jay

And in historical terms, a rather small one. We gave up plenty more than that to win World War II. And we didn't stop to worry about whether that would help the Nazi recruitment effort. (Well, Neville Chamberlain did. But we was a fuckwit, and so are you.) So did that make the world safer? Ask a Jew. Oh, wait. You guys hate Jews. The two largest groups were under no moral obligation to give their former oppressors any say at all. The Sunni Arabs are on probation now. If the Shia Arabs and Kurds decide to place the Sunni Triangle under martial law, they are well within their rights to do so. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4 out of 5 Iraqis choose democracy!

In well less than 4 years after Dec 7, 1941 Germany and Japan with millions of armed mean were defeated, there was no violence, the enemy leadership that survived was in prison. America had respect in the world. Now, more than 4 years after 9/11, the number of jihadists is on the increase, violence persists, and Osama and al-Zarqawi are on the loose. America has no respect in the world. And you take pride in this? Alex The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. -- Bertrand Russell
