any idea on why iraq was bombed?
-
Iraq is being bombed because you skipped church in 1985 just to watch two homeless guys fight over the prime spot on top of the subway grate, you horrible horrible person.
Whats so horrible about the question or about me? Do you know me? What did i ever do to you? What have i ever done to your family? All i am asking about is why are being people killed either way? i just want people to stop the hatred against humanity. Is war the answer to everything?

Well, depending on who you ask, the answer is oil, or freedom. Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

So I'm still a little pissed.

Casus belli was that Saddam Hussein did not respect resolutions of United Nations. So the allies went in and got him. The insurgency in Iraq, consisting of Al Quaeda terrorists, socialist Baathists, and fundamentalist is trying to destabilize Iraq to prevent democracy from succeeding (like they managed to do for the past 30 years). That is the reason why these evildoers are bombed today. Unfortunately there is no war without innocent people getting hurt. But the number of innocent victims is lower then under Saddam police state, which is an overall improvement. Does not help the victims, though. :( Regards, Tomaz

I think it is still being bombed, because Bush cannot accept the fact that moslem extremists take over the country, now that Saddam does not fight them anymore. I read than while Saddam was ruling iraq, women didn't even wear headscarfs. Today the whole country is chaos, and moslem extremists are taking their chance to invade it. Iraq is a moslemic country, and the people should decide what they want: Theocracy (they understand it) or Democracy (something completely new to them). But Bush sees his reputation going to hell, because "our system for everyone" is the big label upon his war games. He cannot make his army leave iraq, without losing what is left of his reputation as "the world police". Why iraq was bombed at all, is not that eay to answer. There are several possible reasons. (1) The president's daddy could not defeat iraq. It was a second try. (2) Operation Iraqi Liberty ? (3) Somebody really believed that there had been any weapons of mass destruction. (4) New high-tech-weapons needed to be tested. (5) Thousands of other reasons. Nobody will ever know the truth. _________________________________ Vote '1' if you're too lazy for a discussion

According to this: http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/2000/09/iraq-000918.htm[^], it is assumed that Saddam is responsible for about 10.000 deaths since 1980. The minimum body count today, is 15.458, and that's just since the invasion. The coalition is still not reaching the number of tortured people though, but that's not from lack of trying.

it also depends when you ask. the pro-war gang has gone through several reasons over the last 22 months. i'm not sure what the latest post-facto rationale is. Image Toolkits | Image Processing | Cleek

You must be using new math I added the figures in the document you cited and it included - approximately 5,000 Iranians were killed by chemical weapons between 1983 and 1988 In mid-March of 1988, Saddam Hussein and his cousin Ali Hassan alMajid -- the infamous "Chemical Ali" -- ordered the dropping of chemical weapons on the town of Halabja in northeastern Iraq. This killed an estimated 5,000 civilians The Anfal campaigns. Beginning in 1987 and accelerating in early 1988, Saddam Hussein ordered the "Anfal" campaign against the Iraqi Kurdish people. By any measure, this constituted a crime against humanity and a war crime. Chemical Ali has admitted to witnesses that he carried out this campaign "under orders." In 1995, Human Rights Watch published a compilation of their reports in the book Iraq's Crime of Genocide, which is now out of print. Human Rights Watch needs to reprint this book. Human Rights Watch estimated that between 50,000 and 100,000 Kurds were killed The regime is also carrying out a systematic campaign of murder and intimidation of clergy, especially Shi'a clergy. The number of those killed unlawfully is difficult to estimate but must be well in excess of 10,000 since Saddam Hussein officially seized power in 1980 In March and April of 1991, Saddam Hussein's forces killed somewhere between 30,000 and 60,000 Iraqis, most of them civilians With my old math I figure that that comes to around 100,000 people at a minimum just with these figures only. I didn't include the figures from the Iran - Iraq War http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761580640/Iran-Iraq_War.html[^] SInce you can't add I'll assume you can't follow the link either, the article says "The Iran-Iraq War lasted just short of eight years and resulted in catastrophic destruction in both countries. Because both Iran and Iraq used irregular military units, attacked civilian populations, and played down their own losses while playing up those of their opponents, reliable casualty figures do not exist. For example, Iran claimed to have lost 200,000 or fewer of its own citizens, while Iraq claimed to have killed 800,000 Iranians. Neutral estimates come closer to the Iranian claim but are uncertain. Because of different battlefield techniques, Iraq’s deaths were probably

Following site calculates "no body count" (how many lives were saved based on Saddam statistics). http://198.30.156.67/000184.php#000184[^] Tomaz

You mean "Why are people in Iraq setting off bombs to kill Iraqi civilians, Iraqi security forces, and Americans?" In the audiotape, a speaker identifying himself as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - the leader of Iraq's al-Qaida affiliate - called candidates running in the elections "demi-idols" and said those who vote for them "are infidels." "We have declared a fierce war on this evil principle of democracy and those who follow this wrong ideology," the speaker said. "Anyone who tries to help set up this system is part of it" - a clear warning to both candidates and those who choose to vote. http://apnews.myway.com//article/20050123/D87PTPD80.html[^] Because democracy is incompatible with extremist views that Muslim people should be under a caliphate-ruled theocracy. ----------------------------------------------------- Empires Of Steel[^]

the reason is because America needs something to talk about. Bush went to war so that people could engage in the lovely passtime of Bush Bashing and watching Farenhiet 9/11 He decided to continue bombing because people still love Bush Bashing it pisses people off Moore needs more ideas for his propaganda ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO MICROSOFT!
