I suggest you keep it straight. Firstly, I didn't refer to you as a Marxist - I suggested you write a Marxist interpretation of history on the ME. Many apply that reading without being Marxist. Secondly, you repeatedly inferred that I agreed with the war. Here are a few of your absurdly hysterical responses when I only said the issue wasn't truly black and white: I can understand why you would now weasel out of your Marxist comment. Lame, tho. As to the war, the issue for me was always about responsibility for the subsequent deaths; never about your opinion on the war. Whether the deaths were caused by insurgents is immaterial. The deaths followed directly from Bush's stupidity. Why would he not expect insurgents? He was warned before the war that he was going in with an insufficient occupying force. quote:
- I didn't blame him for the war. I simply said he should have complied after you falsely claimed that he had with a 12,000 page declaration that told the UN what they already knew. He agreed to comply with the UN resolution, then didn't, and didn't act on the imminent threat of war. Saddam explained his motives in his predeath interrogation. Debate it with him, if you wish. quote:
I assume that swipe was aimed in part at myself since you use the same words I used to describe your behaviour. You assume too much. If it were aimed at you I would have addressed it to you. quote:
However, you actually justified the violence Iran, Syria and the insurgent terrorists wrought on the Iraqi civil populace. That is twisted. You have no right to adopt the moral high ground. I do not justify violence. I merely pointed out the realpolitik. There is no morality in armed invasion of a sovereign nation.
