(from The Silhouette)

Fellow Blogger Joshua Claybourn had an interesting post today about the war in Iraq, entitled "I Believe". With a huge dose of Sarcasm Joshua attacks the anti-war camps with a whole bunch of arguments. Read them at http://www.joshclaybourn.com .

I note that no mention in his articale was made to the thousands of Iraqi dead, both civilian and military while their country was invaded. He attacks france for things the French have sold Iraq, yet ignores the fact that America supported Saddam in becoming so powerfull in the first place, although Mr Rumsfeld would be able to tell us more, after all he was involved in that to. There is also no mention of the fact that despite all of this talk of WMD's, no concrete proof has been found, but what does that Matter, when youve got the CIA to make sure that some will be found. Also not mentioned are the hundreds of thousands who have been effected since the last Gulf War, due to the use of Depleated Uranium Shells, or the fact that the furthest Iraqi missiles were capable of reaching was still thousands of miles short of the USA. Also forgotten is the fact that Iraq may support Palestine, but America supports Israel. Priorities are also forgotten there, after all, Israel is and was breaking more UN resolutions than Iraq, Israel was and is in possession of WMD's, etc. Also, strangely no mention of the fact that the US's alliance with the Kurds has allowed Kurds to be in Arab majority towns, where trouble is started because the two factions despise each other. No mention of the fact that before Gulf War 1 Iraq was a comparitivley rich country people were not starving, of course, Dubya's father made sure their prosperity didnt last.

So it appears that alot of facts were forgotten on the writing of his articale, the only decent thing I could do would be point this out
