I'll agree with that fact that this is completely ignorant and at the very least horribly disrespectful. You don't have to like Bush but at least make an informed comment.

There's nothing in the way of 'blind trust / worship' involved here w/ Bush. The key factor that you're overlooking here is that Jenny isn't 'exaggurating'. In here demented world, Saddam = Bush. That's where my response is valid, and her comment is so ridiculous.

Quote:Everyone here knows I'm no fan of Bush, but to compare Saddam to Bush directly and seriously is innacurate at best. Yes, troops have died that might not have had to, but they were not sent in with the expectation that they would be killed. Saddam ordered deaths. Severe incompetance does not necessarly equal evil.

Bush deserves to be impeached, and maybe serve some time for shady dealings involving conflict of interests, but not what Saddam got.
Saddam got what he ultimately deserved.

I don't know, this one's hard to beat:

I have to admit though that I’m surprised this discussion remained as civil as it did, I thought for sure someone would have started trolling a lot sooner. Anyway, it's not like there's anymore to be said on the topic.
It's pretty much done. I can't say that I'm happy about it, necessarily, but I hope it brings some modicum of justice to those who have had to bare their children’s fingernails being pulled off, their daughters raped or their villages gassed. And ultimately, maybe other rogue leaders might take their conflicts with the UNSC seriously.
Quote:Oh come on. So if you find fanatical rhetoric about hanging Bush offensive, that means you’re a fanatical worshiper of Bush? So what if you disagree with Bush, does that mean that you must be a supporter of assassination? The other day you condemned AURaptor for saying that Jimmy Carter is an embarrassment, now you’re condemning him for not accepting language that George Bush is as bad as Saddam Hussein and should be hung? You really can’t get too much more one-sided then that.

Quote:Intentional or not, there is blood on his hands, and a case can be made that he's directly responsible for needless death, so being angry at him to the point of being offensive to those who, after all they've seen, still support him doesn't make me lose any sleep.

Quote:People who claim Bush should be hung doesn’t bother you? Should Tony Blair be hung? Should John Howard be hung? Should Jarosław Kaczyński be hung? Should Han Myeong Sook be hung? Or just George Bush? In every war there are needless deaths. So should we hang all the world leaders or just those that you don’t like? Still regardless of all the needless deaths and world leaders who have directly supported and participated in wars in which needless deaths occur, there is a difference between Bush and Hussein or Carter and Arafat. For Hussien and Arafat, there is no such thing as needless death, accept perhaps their own.

Quote:No. The point Jenny made was that Bush’s supposed crimes are tantamount to Hussein's. And that’s nonsense.

Quote:No. Historically the precident bears out that we should only hang the one's that lose.
