Why did you block me truthseeker?
Scared of a little criticism? Hee hee. Coward. I guess seeking is better than hearing.
@Randy: Bad troll. BAD! You need to go back to troll school. To be a good troll you need to provoke response. That was just dumb. Not even amusing. You need to apprentice up with Obi Wan Trollnobi
@Jedi: Not rude, just contradictory. Some people don't like good points.

@Truthseeker: Justifying sanctions. Not infanticide. Way to make the wrong assumption though.
Sanctions are imposed to prevent more death than what the sanctions impact produces. As I mentioned, it's not a game. It's to keep the whole thing from unraveling.
In fact, if you want me to get detailed, Saddam invaded Iraq and we said we were going to intervene. He made us ridiculous offers ($10/barrel for as long as he was in power). We declined because it wasn't about money. Saddam's plan was to invade Kuwait, then move into Saudi Arabia (in fact the reason we won so fast is because most of his forces were on the Saudi border). From there his next target was Iran (again). He had the second largest army in the whole world and without our inervention (since the UN was unwilling to act) he'd have had no problem. That would have given a dictator that was already guilty of genocide and modeled his government after the Nazi regime control over 40% of the world's oil supply (which we only get 8% of our oil from). So at what point was it okay to intervene? Should we have waited for a second holocaust? Everyone talks about how we could have prevented Hitler, and when we (without help from anyone but Europe) did just that we're baby
killers. Is that what you call justifying it?
The only thing stopping him from rolling across the entire middle east was the UN. They did absolutely nothing. The countries that SHOULD have stopped him were China and Russia who did nothing. THAT'S why we went in, and THAT'S why we imposed sanctions.
Are you sure I was justifying infanticide, and the truth isn't just that you believe anything the media feeds you? Actual global politics are NOT what you see on CNN.

Last thing I have to say, PLEASE fact check everything I said.
We put Saddam in power? Cite sources for that. You clearly don't know the history. Either way, I in no way justified infanticide. You blocked me because you don't like disagreement.
In fact, Saddam's rise to power destroyed our advantage in the Cold War.
