Erm, "a 5% chance of success mandates that you invade Iraq" wasn't his point. His point was "what the fuck kind of liberal are you if you're willing to leave the citizens of Iraq to rot"?


mmm... a SMART liberal who realizes that any attempted occupation would mean more taxes on the middle-class of America?


So how many dollars is an Iraqi dissident's life worth?



Not an aweful lot. The present market value of a human body, broken down into its elements, is under $3.00. I was more interested in the Future Value (or lack thereof).

I can understand the whole "help them on the grounds of humanity" argument. Hell, I was all for helping Kosovo (ok, in reality I was all for hitting Yugoslavia with a biological plague, but that would help Kosovo), but that was before the last of my sympathy and concern for the human race was burnt away. Honestly, I don't see the solid gain this war would create for ME. All I have heard so far are delusional fantasies ranging from "we'll become just like you" to "all the terrorists will go away". Show me that (and how) colonizing Iraq WILL (not "may") benefit me personally and then you'll have my interest (and don't give me any BS "go read this book" response. With my schedule, I barely have time to jerk off, let alone read something).

This whole "lets help Iraq" argument sounds like something out of "Atlas Shrugged". Only instead of some miserable idiot arguing that he should get the loan "because he needs it", you're arguing that Iraq should get our resources "because they need it".
