[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Comparing Saddam to Putin probably isn’t the winning argument you seem to think. [/quote]

I'm not comparing Putin to Saddam. I'm comparing a falsehood-inspired hysteria against Saddam and the terrible consequences it visited upon Iraq to the current discourse about Putin.

But you probably think the war in Iraq is a forgivable indiscretion because it's not like the bomb came down on your own house.   Half a million dead brown people, meh, who cares.  Let's weep for the blue-eyed instead.[/quote]

The war in iraq was wrong.  but you obviously know two wrongs don't make a right.  Just because the United States has done bad things doesn't mean that Putin isn't an idiot who should have known better and who is obviously in the wrong.[/quote]

That may all be true but what would you respond to Putin saying - hey, your president, too, invaded another country, that doesn't even share a border with you, for stupid made-up reasons, killed half a million people, and nothing really bad happened to him or your country.  So why do you say I'm not allowed to do the same?  [/quote]

jeesh... I'd say exactly the same thing I said to you.  Two wrongs don't make a right, and why on earth would you punish Ukraine for something the US did?  and anyway he is not invading Ukraine in retaliation for Iraq, he is invading Ukraine because he is a greedy sob.[/quote]
