The invasion of Iraq was not illegal. The UN sanctions against Iraq allowed for it and the US Congress approved it.

SC has to approve of an invasion if it has to be legal. Since it didn’t it wasn’t. Come on try a little harder.

The US is NOT and should NEVER be a democracy.

Democracy is not a fixed word. Democracy comes in many variaties. The current representitve kind works well, that’s all.

Democracy is mob rule where the majority determines what is going to happen.

This is direct democracy. I am strongly oppose to this.

Do you really want that? I do not. I want a country with the rule of law.

South Africa was under the rule of law during the apartheid period. I want rule of law only if it’s just law that rules.

9. What are your thoughts on the Palestinians who blow themselves up in crowded public places and killing innocent folks?

Terrorists. What is your thought on Israelis who empty entire cartridge into a 10 year old or those who steal Palestinian land by killing them or burying them alive with their houses they demolish?

2) The UN sanctions did not have anything to do with illegally invading a country without the UN’s full approval. What was Iraq’s threat to the U.S? There was no direct threat and this was hardly done in the name of self-defense. Invading a country, killing its leader (no matter how brutal that leader is), and claiming to know what’s best for the country by crowding more and more soldiers is nothing to be proud of. It was a grave error and the Bush administration, while knowing this very well, is still in denial.

5) Someone who in many ways is denied basic human rights, perhaps.

9) What are your thoughts on the U.S forces who blow things up in crowded public places killing hundreds if not thousands of innocent civilians in the process, from Iraq to Afghanistan to God knows where else? You are speaking as if Palestinians are the only ones committing these crimes, when in fact there are much bigger crimes that are taking place. Bombs, air missiles, much bigger technologies and military facilities are being used against such innocent civilians and you are complaining about kids blowing themselves up in cafes? This was a reaction. I am not justifying it because it’s wrong and just as disgusting as killing and humiliating Palestinians but it IS a reaction to the violence that these children are being subjected to on a day to day basis. Find the source, don’t take everything at face value and assume that these children were born hateful. War is what leads to a culture of hatred. And certainly not most Palestinians are guilty of these violent tactics, so don’t listen to the bad news and generalize claiming that they’re all just as bad as the ones we hear about.

It goes both ways, please do not justify murder as if it’s done in the name of self defense. Palestinians dying still counts as the murder of “innocent folks.” And there are innocent folks in Iraq, both American and Iraqis, who are also dying, and innocent folks in Israel and Palestine, who are also dying. All equally deserving of life. No one should justify any of these deaths.
