The problem is we need a consistent foreign policy regardless of what that
policy is.
|
Well yes, we need a consistent foreign policy but certain foreign policies,
even if consistent, are not very good ones to have.
|
But they are still better than the inconsistent mess we have now.
|
Some are and some aren’t. A policy that said we would consistently attack
(with nuclear weapons) any country that had a leader that said “Bush is a
weenie” would be indeed consistent, but worse than what we have now.
|
Well at least that would be consistent. :-D Seriously though I see what your
getting at.

Why does
the media keep referring to the troops in Iraq as the “occupation force”?
|
Because they’re a “force” which is present in a defeated opponent, therefore
an “occupying” force. Why? What would *you* call them? I find nothing to
object about w.r.t. that particular usage.
|
I was simply wondering why we are calling them that when prior to the war Bush &
company stated we were not going to occupy the country for the sake of stealing
oil.
