Re: No, I listen to history

SDAI-Tech1 — 4/1/2003 9:17:56 AM (archived)

The Kurds asked for assistance. As residents of Iraq and sizable in number - in theory* we do not need any more to ask us to assist them.

If one discounts them then we have to get into just who is an Iraqi by definition or just how many people have to ask for liberation to qualify as a justifier for action.

Usually the masses are content to toil. In America we had a few folks who lit fires under the colonists and were proficient rebel-rousers. But I certainly don't think any majority of the colonists asked for a revolution against Britain.

*Again this is not a war of liberation despite the misleading (I would have preferred Operation Comeuppance) PR coined operation title. However surely you realize why this is being described in terms of liberation. Diplomacy requires tact, Operation Comeuppance would not be tactful and subsequently undiplomatic.
