They've never really been disproved by anyone.
Oh now there's a surprise. A truly unbiased estimate, from an infallable source.
Sadam was executed after a fair trial for crimes against humanity.
And so he should have been. But he's not the only one guily of that now is he?
Everyone Kenedy killed was as part of a legitimate attempt to defend South Vietnamese democracy. No one talks about the North Vietnamese slaughter after the war.
Yeah right. Why was it any of his business what went on in another country anyway? What gave him the right to attempt to force his own political views on someone else? So the muslims don't like democracy - they attack Western countries to get rid of it cos they think it's bad. What's the difference?
There absolutely isn't any. Sorry Joel but I think you are completely blinkered - you are a politician's dream.
Democracies like England, the US, and Israel throw themselves opent to the press.
Of course they do. The press is one of the most potent tools they have.
Vicious dictatorships turn them away at the border.
Ah, here's that dark side again!
Hence the US kills less then Sadam ever did, during it's ocupations and there's terrible protests.
Another joke, right?
In WW2 when faced with evil, some of the greatest men of our generation knew what to do.
Bomb their cities, kill them, terrorise them. Then execute their leaders, and reeducate their populace.
I don't need to say anything to this, it pretty much speaks for itself.
The result democracy across Europe, and much of Asia, freedom democtacy and the rule of law.
It's a shame so many spit on such a great acheivment.
I could go on for a long time about our 'great' democracy - fluffy clouds and rainbows as of course it is!!
But it's pointless. I'm done now. Nobody's bothered about my views. Those who disagree are not going to change their minds and neither am I. Let's just agree to differ and leave it.
I have definitely had my fill of crazy Conservative talk for one day.
