I guess you're right.
Nah, I like the fact that we are 'liberating' a country when their are plenty of other places with more horrible governments. Rwanda for example, when in 1994 the US government played no role in the stopping, or, finding of known genocide comanders, when 800,000 people of an ethnic tribe were slautered...and hasn't to this day.
How about Sierre Leone where civil war rages day-after-day over some diamonds bought BY Americans, civilians are shot and killed for even walking down the street, and the Peace Keepers in the region are forced to fight back...the US government has done NOTHING!
North Korea has nuclear weapons. Iraq DOES NOT! These weapons can hit California...aside from a slight increase of soldiers in the area, the US Government has done VERY LITTLE to stop this, nor said very little.
So ask yourself this question...is this REALLY the time to go to Iraq? No wait, I got it...ask yourself this...Is OIL The motive in Iraq? Of course...why else wouldn't go after these governments? No Oil!.... and I could never support a war effort in order to gain some oil...
Thoughts and opinons are my own..and please dont take them too seriously.
