Liberalism is an ideology, philosophical view, and political tradition which holds that liberty is the primary political value. Liberalism has its roots in the Western Enlightenment, but the term now encompasses a diversity of political thought.
Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights. It seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, free public education, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of all citizens are protected. In modern society, liberals favor a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed.
If I remember correctly, the word that Suddam used when he was pulled from his hold when hiding from the Americans was, "I am ready to negotiate now"
This was said at the end of major conflict.
He lied to the inspectors non stop before that.
Ajaks... um... yeah no comment. You are seriously not worth it. I really think you should look up the word LIBERAL, and find out what it actually means.
He lied to the inspectors non stop before that.
No, clearly they found no WMD.He said he had no WMD. The inspectors found no WMD. The US/UK invasion force has found no WMD. Clearly, there were no WMD.
He said he had no WMD. The inspectors found no WMD. The US/UK invasion force has found no WMD. Clearly, there were no WMD.
So who lied? Or were we so conditioned by the US/UK claims that Saddam was lying, that we would rather believe their pro-war propaganda rather than the simple facts?
Saddam complied with UN demands right up to the day of the invasion. The invasion of Iraq was an illegal act of agression. It should be Bush and Blair facing a war crime tribunal, but history only ever favours the victors, the strong and/or the wealthy.
