Right, just commenting on the propagada there.
And you are right, the cost in human life for the capture and occupation of a country as rampant and un-ballanced as Iraq...the center point of the middle east, I might add is surprizingly low.
But the priorities of the administration are obvious. The sudan has been suffering hundreds of thousands of fatalities for years under more violent and sinister methods yet our government sees no need to attempt to rectify that situation. Perhaps if they had more oil wells....
I'm obviously not one to say which countries we should invade for thier own good, but it does make me nerveous to think that our government feels it can do whatever it deems globally nessecary without global concent.
Just my input.
Edit: Damn good point Noct.
