Synthetic explanations very important events
Son - Dad, why did we attack Iraq?
Father: - Because they had weapons of mass destruction, son.
H. - But the inspectors did not find them.
P. - because the Iraqis had hidden.
H. - And why the attack?
P. - Yes, the invasions are better than inspections.
H. - invade But after we did not find any weapons of mass destruction, right?
P. - That's because the Iraqis hid them well. Do not worry, find something, probably before the 2004 elections
H. - For what it wanted Iraq allas weapons of mass destruction?
P. - For use in the war, stupid.
H. - do not understand. If they had these weapons for use in war, why not use them when attacked?
P. - probably because they did not want anyone to know they had them, so they decided to die in tens of thousands rather than defend themselves.
H. - This does not seem logical, Dad. Why had they prefer to die rather than use weapons to fight us?
P. - It's another culture. It need not be any logic in that.
H. - do not know what you think, but I think it had none of those weapons our government said.
P. - Look, no matter if they had weapons or not. Of alls ways had good reason to invade.
H. - And what were they?
P. - Even if Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator, and that was a good reason to invade another country.
H. - Why?. What does a cruel dictator who invades your country?
Q. - For example tortured his own people.
H. - More or less as they do in China?
Q. - Do not come now comparing China to Iraq. China is a business friend, where millions of people working with slave wages to U.S. companies even richer.
H. - I mean, what if a country lets its people be exploited by U.S. companies is a good country, even iftortured his own people?
P. - Correct!
H. - Why was tortured people in Iraq?
P. - More than anything for political crimes, like criticizing the government. People criticizing the government was locked in jail and tortured.
H. - Is not it the same thing happens in China?
P. - I said that China is different.
H. - What is the difference between China and Iraq?
Q. - Iraq ordered the Baath Party and Communist China.
H. - Do not you have told me that communism is bad?
P. - No, just Cuban communism is bad.
H. - How does Cuban communism is bad?
P. - Well, for critics dthe government locked up in jail and tortured.
H. - "Like in Iraq?
P. - Exactly!
H. - And how in China?
P. - I told you that China is a friend. Cuba, no.
H. - Why is Cuba a business friend?
P. - Look, in the 60's our government made laws that made it illegal to trade until they cease to be communists and capitalists were like us.
H. - What if we did quitásemos these laws and trade with Cuba does not convince you to be capitalists?
Q. - Do not be funny!
H. - It was not my idea!
P. - In addition there is no freedom of religion in Cuba ....
H. - How is the CAPTUREin Saudi Arabia?
P. - No, in Saudi Arabia is traditional clothing that covers the entire body.
H. - What is the difference? It seems to me the same thing with another name.
Q. - Do not compare Afghanistan to Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are our friends.
H. - I thought you said that 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
P. - Yes, but were trained in Afghanistan.
H. - Who trained them?
P. - A bad man named Osama Bin Laden.
H. - Was it in Afghanistan?
P. - Oh, no. It was Saudi Arabia, but bad, very bad.
H. - I remember that one time was our friend.
P. - Only when we helped with the Muom ".
H. -" We renamed the food provided countries do we want?
P. - only to friends, enemies will invade.
H. - Iraq Was not our friend in the 80?
P. - Yes, then.
H. - Saddam was leader then?
P. - Yes, but struggled against Iran, which he did in that moment our friend.
H. - Why that made him our friend?
Q. - Why Iran was our enemy.
H. - Was not Saddam who gassed the Kurds?
P. - Yes, but as fighting against Iran, we look away to show that it was our friend.
H. - So what if someone fighting an enemy of oursbecomes our friend?
P. - More or less!
H. - What if a friend control automatically becomes our enemy?
P. .- Sometimes that happens. Anyway, if American companies selling arms to both sides, earn more money, so you better.
H. - Why?
P. - Because war is good for the economy, which means war is good for America. Moreover God is part of the U.S., so that those who oppose the war are sinful, anti-US communist.
Do you understand now why we attacked Iraq?
H. - I think so. We attacked them because God wanted, right?
P. - Yes!
H. - But as we learned quand God wanted atacásemos Iraq?
P. - Look, God speaks to George W Bush and tells him he has to do.
H. - I mean, we invaded Iraq because George W Bush heard voices in his head.
P. - Yeah, you finally understand how the world works. Come on, close your eyes, sit and sleep. Good night!
H. - Goodnight Dad!
