It was a jab at his rationalization, and that question wasn't answered in the polling.

But yeah I'm sure the average Iraqi also values their police and military over their right to life.

I know this is a controversial topic.	Splntrd	March 23, 2012 11:19PM

We are going to be at war with Iran in the next few years, really silly to enlist. (n/t)	ORB	March 22, 2012 10:32AM
I enlisted within months of our invasion of Iraq. I'm still alive, and doing great. nt	Java	March 22, 2012 07:42PM
You help kill people for money. Doesn't that make you feel icky?	PaulO	March 23, 2012 08:38AM
That's a matter of opinion.	Matrik	March 23, 2012 10:45AM
I guess	PaulO	March 23, 2012 11:56AM
Just glanced through that...	Matrik	March 23, 2012 12:17PM
Can't get over the ridiculousness.	Death_Claw	March 27, 2012 04:39AM
Cry me a river. (n/t)	Matrik	March 27, 2012 06:03AM
Our sanctioning is really important. We do it for valid reasons.	Batman	March 27, 2012 04:43AM
I apologize if I'm an insensitive boob	PaulO	March 23, 2012 01:29PM
You don't want me as president ; ).	Matrik	March 23, 2012 01:50PM
Actually, I take that back.	Matrik	March 23, 2012 01:57PM
Except they weren't really rotting in hell.	Coumidin	March 24, 2012 11:07PM
"Not much more than many of us are in the US, at least." This I found incredibly hilarious btw.	Matrik	March 25, 2012 02:26PM
And I'll just assume you haven't been to the right parts of the country. (n/t)	Coumidin	March 25, 2012 03:07PM
Which parts of the country...	Java	March 26, 2012 12:11AM
At this point it's well out of context	Coumidin	March 26, 2012 04:05AM
Conditions were the same before we got there. Unless you think we went and wasted bombs on random huts in the middle of nowhere? (n/t)	Matrik	March 26, 2012 06:07AM
Nice try. I grew up far, far below the poverty line.	Matrik	March 25, 2012 03:18PM
To help figure it out, let's look at some data.	Batman	March 25, 2012 03:30PM
Too bad they couldn't poll the dead, the displaced and the 'insurgents'	Coumidin	March 26, 2012 03:43AM
I guess that proves you're right, then. NT	Batman	March 26, 2012 04:38AM
That's a lot of text for a NT post.	Coumidin	March 26, 2012 05:33AM
I already addressed that they think they are in worse condition than before.	Batman	March 26, 2012 05:41AM
But what are the implications?	Coumidin	March 26, 2012 06:46AM
But I addressed this.	Batman	March 26, 2012 08:16AM
In that case, I find the one area you're interested in to be meaningless.	Coumidin	March 26, 2012 08:46AM
"I wonder how many Iraqis would agree that the "improved police and military forces" are worth all that loss of life. " NT	Batman	March 26, 2012 08:50AM
This exactly. You brought up the question of "was it worth it," not me. (n/t)	Matrik	March 26, 2012 09:57AM
Again, not as a serious topic of debate.	Coumidin	March 26, 2012 10:31AM
Meh	Matrik	March 26, 2012 12:20PM
It was a jab at his rationalization, and that question wasn't answered in the polling.	Coumidin	March 26, 2012 09:12AM
Studies show them not saying human rights are a huge issue of their view of democracies.	Batman	March 26, 2012 09:35AM

How about YOU read THIS question again, DurNominasshole	Stevers	March 26, 2012 10:58AM
I find your names-calling disquieting.	DurNominator(VIP)	March 26, 2012 06:26PM
I find your avoiding-the-questio n disquieting. n/t	Stevers	March 26, 2012 08:02PM
So we'll be upset until we're downcast again. (n/t)	DurNominator(VIP)	March 26, 2012 10:28PM

Not a different story at all imo.	Matrik	March 26, 2012 12:17PM

Every American is a Hitman. Case closed. n/t	Stevers	March 23, 2012 10:40AM
Hitman is the guy that kills for money, not the one who pays for it. (n/t)	DurNominator(VIP)	March 23, 2012 11:34AM
Take it a step further.	Splntrd	March 24, 2012 11:33AM
Yeah, but how many of you actually had a say in the decision?	DurNominator(VIP)	March 24, 2012 07:53PM
I think you're over-thinking something that was intended to be funny	Splntrd	March 24, 2012 10:24PM
I just thought it was an interesting topic to tackle.	DurNominator(VIP)	March 24, 2012 10:54PM
I can't make sense of your example	Coumidin	March 25, 2012 01:18AM
9/11 attacks were carried against a country due to shit the said country pulled off.	DurNominator(VIP)	March 25, 2012 02:10AM

Believe me, I have been someone criticizing a rager before having played a rager, so I can criticize someone for criticizing a rager without having played a rager, without having played a rager myself if I so desire to criticize the criticism of the lack	Stevers	March 23, 2012 08:57AM

I wasn't disagreeing with any of that. I just think Paul was missing something very important, which you mentioned:	Matrik	March 24, 2012 08:01AM
I mean, in the most literal way you're correct	Splntrd	March 24, 2012 08:30AM

Oh yeah	Splntrd	March 24, 2012 11:51AM
I get your point, but just a couple things:	Matrik	March 23, 2012 08:22PM
That depends on your field (re: military experience)	Java	March 23, 2012 09:26PM
