In the last 20 years millions upon millions of men women and CHILDREN have been tortured and murdered by dictators through out the world. Most would most likely preferred to be killed quickly through chemical weapons as opposed to being tortured to death.
So why this intervention that is minuscule compared to other events of similar nature? Could it be because fubama has been wanting any excuse to depose this governing group of radicals with another group of radicals ? And he wants to replace them with the people who brought us 9/11? And the brain dead uninformed are all for that? We want to replace them with people who believe it is godly to strap bombs to them selves and blow up innocent people because of their beliefs?
Get real fubama drones. Here is a list of dictators that have murdered millions. Of which of them did we go to war simply because of the murder and torture that they were committing? Yes, drones, absolutely NONE OF THEM.
So now it is coincidence that our imperial president wants to support the very people who actually attacked us on 9/11.
Here is the list.
The worst genocides of the 20th and 21st Centuries

Here is a tentative list of modern mass murderers and the estimated number of people killed by their orders (excluding enemy armies). In many cases (notably Stalin's and Mao's cases) one has to decide how to consider the millions who died indirectly because of their political decisions. The Chinese cultural revolution caused the death of 30 million people (according to the current Chinese government), but many died of hunger. Stalin is held responsible for the death of millions by Ukrainians, but "only" half a million people were killed by his order. Khomeini sent children to die in the war against Iraq, but it was a war.
Read the bottom of this page for frequently asked questions on controversial actions such as the atomic bombs, the Iraqi war, etc (that always involve the current superpower and usually the current president of that superpower).
I welcome feedback if i forgot anything or posted the wrong data, but please always provide reliable sources: webpages are gossips, not sources (and the worst one is Wikipedia, edited by anonymous people). Reliable sources are books written by professional historians who spent decades researching the event.
An impressive number of readers don't seem to know what "20th century" means and keep sending me emails about the Atlantic slave trade, the Native Americans, the Irish famine, etc. See also Wars and Casualties of the 20th and 21st Century.
