You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

I don't get it, Alex. If it is your opinion that the UN should not organize elections there yet, then why in response to my question; "Can you give us one example of the US conquering a foreign belligerent and then NOT holding free elections?" did you reply:

Afghanistan. 4 months ago. Remember?

Tell you what. Funding and supporting the nightmarish Northern Alliance warlords is going to cause catastrophic trouble in Afghanistan. That's my bet. Ok?

The Northern Alliance wern't our enemies (terrorists), they just so happened to be fighting who we were fighting........so they became our allies.It's that simple.

Perhaps it would be better to feed the starving first?

btw, if the americans had devoted the money they are going to spend destroying Iraq on rebuilding Afghanistan the free elections would already have been held.

So you are saying that it is not yet time for the UN to organize free elections in Afghanistan. I fail to see how it is impossible to organize humanitarian aid and elections simultaneously.

Havn't you learned this "simple" approach has problems? You funded the muslim fundamentalists throughout the 80's in Afghanistan. Do you think that was a wise thing to do? You funded and armed Saddam throughout the 80's. Was that wise?

I'm afraid arming and funding savage dictators just because they are on your side that week may sound "simple" but it has far from "simple" consequences.

Taking a wild guess, I'd imagine it's something to do with the vast majority of the country now being in the hands of brutal Northern Alliance warlords. That's gonna stop humanitarian aid. Not too good for free elections either.

That's the trouble with supporting warlords...
