Why I Am Voting For Kerry for President

[RogerRabbit]

I am a senior citizen.

During the Clinton Administration I had an extremely good and well paying
job. I took numerous vacations and had several vacation homes.

Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life change for
the worse.

. I lost my job.

. I lost my two sons in that terrible Iraqi War.

. I lost my homes.

. I lost my health insurance.

. As a matter of fact, I lost virtually everything and became homeless.

. Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like an
animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me!

I will do anything that Senator Kerry wants to insure that a Democrat is
back in the White House come next year. Bush has to go.

I just thought all Americans would like to know how one senior citizen
views the Bush Administration.


Thank you for taking time to read my letter.

Sincerely,

Saddam Hussein

Liberators ? gee maybe someone should tell that to the 85 % of Iraqis who hate the US and want them out of their country.

 

[Geoffrey]

or the North Koreans, or the Japanese - in both countries the people want US troops to go home (I want them home too) but for some reason even when the government comes to power under a anti-US troops platform (North Korea) when they get the power the ask us to stay.

except hussein isn't a US citizen, and can't vote... technically, this joke should read "why i am supporting kerry for president"

Ragheads? What a typical stereotype both in usage and representing yourself. Is it a wonder the US suffers from such an image issue and gives their leadership the belief in a mandate when so many of you clearly believe the rest of the world is inferior to you and has no purpose but to exist to serve you ends.

Like it or not the population of Iraq essentially does consider the US and other forces there occupiers not liberators. They might think differently when the US does leave and the Government in charge is one that reflects their vote and not a Government that the US feels will operate to its needs.

Given that the population of Iraq is primarily Shiite, same as Iran, what kind of Governemnt do you think the 'liberated' Iraqis will select? Or is liberated the wrong word here?

Is it that you don't pay attention to what you write or that you just don't have the information? First your revisionist history of when WW1 and WW2 started, (coincedentally the day after the US entered the war.. years late), and now you are claiming that there are US troops in North Korea and that the Government there is welcoming them?


You may want to check your sources out a little more on this one.

Forgive Asian Sensation Talerion. She really can't help being stupid. She's doing the best she can given her situation and lack of a mind.

Since when did CNN start polling Iraqis??...Seems everbody can find a poll of Iraqis to support their claim. It seems to me that Iraq is better with out Saddam than with him...My .02

 

[assoholic]

#1) The US will pull out of Iraq, its only a matter of time.
#2) The question is how many people will be killed before this happens.
..in an article in the LA times its been reported the US is now being attacked 60 times a day !. Just like they, or anybody with any reasonable amount of information on the area knew would happen.

 

[tompeepin]

ROTFLMAO!!!

Hey you gotta admit that was funny.

If you can ask the question to a "supposed" random sample, (just like here where a random sample is the 1000 people who take phone surveys assuming those who do not are represented within the 1000 that do), of around 300 people then you have something of a basis to make any statement. I expec the error of margin in such a statement is monstrous in Iraq at the moment.

The problem with the "better off than before" is that there are many factors that have to be considered in that equation. Keeping in mind that the US wanted a certain outcome in this so called liberation, (and I believe the word liberation comes into question if the liberators have a very specific agenda as to outcome), they had to approach this invasion with a very complex posiiton. Unfortunately the leadership took a simplistic approach and in turn has reaped a mess.

Some things to ponder;

- it's better because a whole pile of medical supplies and other humanitarian aid is now getting into the country, conversely it was the same 'liberators' that ensured that the medical supplies et. al were not allowed entry in the first place.

- The US, for reasons of both geo-politial and oil-economic, wants to deal with a single country, in point of fact the region that comprises Iraq has three primary Islamic groups that have no shared history except as oppressed by which ever one made the deal with the Western Nation.

- As a result of this liberation the US now has to come up with some plausible reason by which it can ensure that the previous administration and minority religous group maintains a strong presence in the Government or the majority of the Shiites will most likely form some sort of satellite or alliant state with Iran.

- Whereas previously terrorist groups like Al Qaida had no footing in Iraq since they viewed Hussein and Iraq as a secular country and as such not part of Islam. Now they are enjoying a footing in this country along with other groups.

- Does a population that never fought or really did anything to secure their freedom ever inherently understand that freedom?


These are just a few of the realities that are swept under the carpet when GWB and his party boast of how the US has liberated Iraq. Are they better off now? Maybe, maybe not. It certainly would have a far better resolution to have the people complete this task themselves.

Typo on the North / South Korea troop deployment - harass me at will for it.

I don't remember stating a date for the beginning of WWII or WWI for that matter.

Nice job of skirting the issue though - but when you don't have a valid point it's usually the best approach.

Funny, George Bush is on record as saying we're occupying Iraq. Try again.

Right skirting the issue? This from the guy who did go on about the WW2 and WW1 start times because you didn't like the fact that despite claiming other countries were cowards, this one in particular, you were at a loss to explain why the US waited until WW1 was literally over and WW2 was half way through... jog yoru memory at all?


Besides skirting what issue? South Korea has been loathe to talk about US withdrawls because there is a real WoMD theat to their north and Japan sees no purpose in keeping the US there anymore. What is this nonsense you are making up?
