And how many Kurds were killed by Saddam Hussein? How many Shias? I think the Iraq war was a terrible mistake but that doesn't mean that supporting it means you don't care about Iraqis.
- EGreg 8y agoFine let’s leave Iraq to the side. We funded militants in Syria against Assad and sold weapons to Saudis against Yemen. We looked the other way as Pakistan genocidally raped Bangladesh in the war of independence. How about the United Fruit Company? School of the Americas? Wait how about this list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in... Please go justify that and then say USA cares about sovereignty of nations!
- stanfordkid 8y agoWe need to grow out of this culture of attributing any value to “caring”. The fact that Americans “care” that 1 million Iraqis died is not only meaningless, but also facetious. We elected a government and enabled a system that led to this. How can we judge China as worse? More importantly why do these judgements fundamentally even matter? The real question Americans should ask themselves is : what is our vision for the future? How can we regain our glory? Anything else assumes authority without investment. A strategy that is destined for failure.
