Saddam Huessein:Time to put him back as President of Iraq?

[Calendar Man]

In his defense he did provide a strong healthcare system and kept the steets remarkably safe...unless you were Kurdish I guess..yeah.

 

[ToddIsDead]

Nick Nolte for Pesident of Iraq!!!

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

those guys let themselves go.

 

[Calendar Man]

Put a poll up.

 

[Maxwell Smart]

I voted Yes.

Give the guy a new suit, new haircut, the keys to the kingdom and tell him "look, now behave this time or we'll be back".

edit: wow, what a typo

 

[Calendar Man]

I voted Yes.

Give the guy a new suit, new haircut, the kings to the kindom and tell him "look, now behave this time or we'll be back".

Yes and also let me just say anyone who isn't for Kinky for Governor of Texas is a ****e.

 

[The Question]

I really don't know. Puting him back in power would be a bad thing, but it would definately restore order to the nation.

Yes it would. Plus everyone finally admits/knows he has no weapons now anyway.

 

[Maxwell Smart]

I think putting him back in charge is better than our current course, which will end up with us leaving a paper-thin "democracy" which will collapse under the weight of it's own divisions and corruption, and will likely be replaced with a tyrannical theocratic government.

 

[cass]

Yeah, let's put a dictator who kills, rapes, and tortures his own people back in power!



You ****ing moron.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

well, we did re-elect Bush....

 

[Carter]

Hahah, that will never happen.
This is useless.

What would that say about America? It'd make us look a thousand times worse than we already do.
Not to mention the fact that -

1. He's on trial
2. He's a murderer and rapist.
3. It would show immense stupidity.

"Oh, yeah sorry we invaded you, killed your children, and threw you in jail. We'll leave you in charge again. Oops, our bad"

 

[cass]

You ****ing moron.

The truth of Iraq is that there are a lot of primitive and ignorant people there. The place unfortunately requires a heavy hand and when it comes down to it there will be another dictatorship whether its Hussein again or not.

We thought we could start a Jeffersonian democracy in the Middle East and we were dead wrong. Its every bit as flawed as the 'White Man's burden'. In order for a democracy to come about Iraqi society itself will have to make true, deep philosophical changes, and thats not going to happen. When the West turned to democracy, we had been through the Reformation and Enlightenment. Iraq has not. And until it goes through such a thing nothing but a Draconian government will be able to function there.

So would you rather have a secular dictator, or a theocratic government that will be completely counterproductive to our cause of defeating Islamic extremism?

You ****ing moron.

He's joking around you jackass.

 

[cass]

Some people aren't, jackass.

 

[Carter]

It's not that easy to detect sarcasm over the internet.

If a conservative wrote this, he'd be accused of racism. And justly so.

lol you are a human turd. Try reading a book.

Wow, I didn't know we were in kindergarten. Next thing you know, you're going to tell me I can't come to your birthday party.

I thought the Saddam/Nick Nolte comparison just might give it away.

You can't. Nor can you go on the slip n' side.

Why is it always about you? I was referring to Maxwell who thinks it's a great idea.
