I'm smart, I can hold two thoughts in my head at the same time
[quote name="I need clarification"][quote name="t0ny"]And here is another point. So fucking what if the US is there for the oil. The thing to focus on is if the Iraqis will be better off w/o Saddam. If the answer is yes, then isnt it worth it, no matter what GWB's reason was? Most of the people in Iraq have nothing to do with oil. So if their life improves because Bush's asshole buddies can make a few million more, does it matter what the reason was? Personally, I dont think it matters.[/quote] It's possible to not like living under Saddam's regine, and <i>also</i> to not want bombs falling on your neighborhood as you are being liberated. Here's another example: Doctor: "I'm sorry to tell you this, Mr. Clarification, but you've developed a malignant melanoma on your arm." Me: "Oh, no. Is it the one I jerk off with or the one I wipe with?" Doctor: "I'm afraid we're going to have to remove the entire arm at the shoulder. Plus the shoulder. Maybe a lung." Me: "But I was planning on using that lung. Can't you just excise the lesion?" Doctor: "Look, do you want to be cancer-free or not? Sure, they may be other ways, but my Secretary of Defense tells me this is the way we're going to do it. Plus, that exact same sort of cancer threatened to kill my dad. Plus, my friends are already bidding on getting to control your arm's precious bodily fluids." Me: "Oh, but OW!"[/quote]
