Yeah blame Clinton. It was Clinton's fault. oOo: If I remember in 1993 when the first attacks occurred on the twin towers, Clinton was only in office for a couple of weeks. I did not hear anyone from the left blame Bush Sr. for the intelligence failure during the first attack. As a matter of fact, instead of spouting a lot of rhetoric, the individuals responsible for the attacks were caught and prosecuted and are currently under U.S. custody. Has the person responsible for the second twin towers attack been caught huh. Where the hell is Osama Bin Laden, the master mind behind the attacks. Instead this adminstration took the eye off the ball and diverted its attention towards another target that was of no threat to the United States. Please do not give me this rhetoric that the United States went into Iraq to liberate the poor Iraqi's. Bull, they did not ask to be liberated and the fact remains the objective of the invasion was to find the Wmd's which up until now have not been found. Other countries drastically need the help of the USA. Where is the USA where countries like Zimbabwe, Sudan, Haiti, and others really need the help and ask the help of America.

clinton may have only been in office for a few weeks when the first attack happened, but what did he do about it?
also, you make it seem as if it should be easy to find ONE person in the ENTIRE world.
of course they didn't ask to be liberated, they'd be killed under Saddam.
And yes, I think we should do more in Africa, but we need a president who will stick with it, not like Clinton who gave up in Somalia after 13 soldiers were killed in Mogadishu. If we want something to change there we need to have some sort of determination that Clinton's administration lacked. |
War shouldn't come into play. It should never be used unless absolutely necessary, like I said before It's fucking stupid going to war with a country to save it. It rarely works.
If you're a rich country that wants to help out a nation, how about some peacekeeping in nations where there is more suffering and generally more people dieing....and instead of funding your military to fight the country, put money into rebuilding its government.
There are less bloody options for saving oppressed people of the world and in most cases considerably more important problems that need to be solved in other areas of the world....If that was the soul point of the war in Iraq. I personally can't make my mind up because I read valid points from each side. ....Although I still think that war was unnecessary.
...One thing I've never understood is... why Iraq? Why not a country like Somaliland - It isn't even recognised as a country, or Rwanda, or other nations in similar situations. It just seems to me like they are in more need of help.
