Why are we intrested in Iiberating Iraq, and not N. Korea, there not our neighbors.
That was my opinion in protest to other countries inabilitly and unwillingness to expell a dictator that oppresses his people and is a threat to the world. We, meaning the same ol countries, will end up liberating N. Korea.
Quote:
We pretty much are Japan and s. Koreas army..China? Are they No.3 on the liberation list?
We will not be liberating China, they're our most favored nation in the trade realm, which is BS in my mind but i don't make them decisions. What about Russia?
Quote:
I think you missed my only point.
No i got it but you based it on my opinion of what we should do or not do.
Quote:
If we are trying to do some good in the world by liberating people terrorised by dictators(as it seems you are suggesting) Why wait for recent events to help out?
I think other countries should be doing what we're doing but their are too many "France-like" countries out there that don't want to help out the oppressed.
Quote:
Why incite the Kurds to revolt only to turn our backs on them, resulting in slaughter?
your post was going good until this statement. That happened just after 1991 and has nothing to do with the topic at hand. That was a mistake that the United States made, we aren't perfect no matter how much other countries think we should be.
Quote:
Why are we the largest supplier of weapons in the world?
Why do we have all these weapons but don't use them on innocent civilians? (don't give me the collateral damage argument that is baseless).
Quote:
Do you really believe the number #1 reason we are at war is to help out Iraq?
and to stop the funding of terrorists, Stablize the oil supply and liberate the Iraqi people. This is what I believe. We did the EXACT same thing in bosnia and the world thanked us, it's too bad their memory is so short.

There was a war going on in Bosnia and USA stopped it while there was no war in Iraq and USA started it. (BTW the Serbian army used cluster bombs and when they bombed the Sarajevo marketplace they said that bosnians did it to make them look bad.) We'll see what happens, but so far it seems that Iraq would be better off without intervention. I have a feeling that the world won't thank you for this.

Devil's advocate:
But it was none of our business. It wasn't OUR war.
Quote:

The human rights violations were the same and that's the reason we got involved in bosnia, you know, ethnic cleansing.

tell it to the Serbs, i am an american.

yeah, it's ok when people are executed because they express thier desire to be free. The hypocrisy is extremely loud (not you specifically)

That's fine, we're not looking for thanks. The world sat on their hands while honorable countries like The United States, Britain, Spain, Australia, Poland and an upwards of 50+ countries took care of the dirty work. The world should be ashamed.

I think there's a discount if you buy in bulk.
