Respect from whom, Scott? We will do what we believe is in our best
interests as a nation. That is usually in the best interests of the world
as well, because a strong, free America is good for the world (not to
mention a prosperous one as well). We are not intested in pleasing people
or countries, but preserving our way of life, namely freedom, and assisting
others in achieving that goal as well.
|
Well said John. Just keep waving your little flag.
|
Its a big flag, Scott, and you should thank God that the most powerful
nation in the world for the last century has been a freedom loving nation.

Tell that to the Vietnam war dead

This is what I dont understand:
Q1. How is supporting human rights abuses in Israel and Saudi Arabia in your
collective self interest if the end result (indirect or otherwise) is 911
and related attacks?
|
I dont know how SA popped in here,
|
Many would say that it was your nations support for the House of Saud that
rankled OBL so much
and Bush is still covering for them!
|
but WRT to Israel-- this country is in a
struggle for its very existence, and has shown remarkable restraint in
the use of deadly force against the Palestinians,
|
Nonsense. Right-wing Israeli politicians can be generalised a bunch of
land-grabbing human rights abusers... and thats a fact.
|
who are being used as pawns
by dispicable slime such as Arafat to destroy their nation.
|
|
Your
characterization of Israeli policy is highly offensive and ignorant to say
the least.
|
Its based on fact. Israel is a belligerent nation lead by an alleged war
criminal who has no respect for human life... thats a fact.
|
Further, your ignorant cause-effect analysis of US support for
Israel and 911 indicates that you still dont get it
|
So you are saying there is not even an indirect link between OBLs actions and US
foreign policy on the Middle-East!?! Wake up and smell the Coffee!
|
-- the world is at war
with Islamo-facists, and the sooner you pull your head out of the sand and
do something about it, the sooner the threat will be thwarted. Get it,
Nevil?
|
What do these Islamo-facists want? Why?
|
|
Q2. How has invading Iraq improved your ?freedom?? It appears it has made
the world less safe?
|
Once again, for the umpteenth time: The world is safer because the monster SH
has been removed from a place of power
|
Tell that to the dead in Turkey... the world has gotten less safe since Iraq was
invaded. Not least because the UN was sidelined.
|
where he could acquire, develop, or
give WMD to monsters such as OBL.
|
What WMD? Where are they?
|
The world was in imminent danger of terrorist attacks whether we invaded Iraq
or not!
|
So now you are saying we are no safer? The threat is still imminent; its just
that the invasion radicalised a few million more in the middle-east?
|
We are simply deciding to fight now before WMD get into the
hands of the terrorists.
|
What WMD? The stuff that Rumsfeld sold SH? The stuff that SH was keeping safe?
The stuff that is missing now? Get a grip!
|
Just because we are nipping terror in the bud
doesnt mean that the terror isnt there (as it might appear to someone
whose head is in the sand).
|
Yep, and Bush is their best friend. He serves them just what they want... with
all the trimmings! OBL should pay him commission. If SH or OBL are still
alive,they must be laughing!
