Good question however i'll answer it with another question how many people have been murdered raped butchered in Sudan ?
Why isnt the coalition in sudan to stop the Genocide ? |
Let's face it. The US might like to be seen as a "Team America" policing the world, but that could never be the case. The fact, and we should all know this anyhow, is that the US are only in Iraq because it serves their purposes. That, however, is not to say that what they are doing is not achieving a positive solution...
As Pezza mentions, the organization that IS designed to be out there preventing injustice is the United Nations. However, their own conflicting interests have ensured that the carnage will continue in Sudan and elsewhere.

I didn't say that I wouldn't fight to protect our country, I simply said that, due to my own cowardice, I would want to avoid it. Anyhow, that does not make me a hypocrite if I still support a war on principles. I do not want to join the armed forces: that point is certain. However, that does not preclude me from making an honest and logical judgement about whether a war is 'right' or 'wrong'. I can see what you're trying to say, and by the way I don't think you are a hypocrite either in this case. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

I read something like this, and then wonder that anybody could seriously state that America does not have a moral responsibility to stay in Iraq. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Also let us not forget the kurds in the north. They were never used as target practice by saddams forces were they. |

War is bloody nonsense and is a sad reflection that mankind isn't really as great as what it thinks it is...What did these poor children ever do to anyone ? _________________ Football is Greatness

Or is that ok with some as it was only" Americans"?
When the towers were hit, the rules of war were changed forever!
I find it amazing how some people can adopt American culutre,(The rap version of our club song for example.) Yet take cheap shots every chance they can at the country they stopped our national language becoming japanese. | We should never forget the tragedy of the twin towers but let me pose another question how many innocent Iraqi citizens have been killed since the invasion of the coalition ? | How many innocent Iraqi's were killed under the rule of saddam? |
Good question however i'll answer it with another question how many people have been murdered raped butchered in Sudan ?
Why isnt the coalition in sudan to stop the Genocide ? |
Thats an excellent question Joff. This is something the United Nations should be hotly pursuing. Unfortunately the UN is a toothless tiger. |
The U.N the slowest moving weak as piss organisation in the world. The U.N and the Clinton administration has the blood of 800 000 Rwandans on their hands. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a part of the Western World.
Clinton did nothing to help these poor people. Why? Because he didnt want to lose any more votes in case of another 'Somalia' incident. General Romeo Dallaire (my hero) pleaded for more troops as the Tutsi minority were systematically butchered over 100 days. What did they do? They took all remaining troops out!!
Sorry about this rant but this still makes me sick.
What also pisses me off is that this monkey George W wants to pump MORE money into this futile Iraq war.
The amount of money spent on this war could have been used rebuild half of Africa.

Your first point is excellent Roddy, but then it seems you contradict yourself.
So, you agree that it was wrong for the UN and US to abandon Rwanda, but now you believe they should do the same to Iraq?
In my mind, if the US pulled out of Iraq now, that's basically what they would be doing, abandoning the country in a state of civil war.

What's your point? Sunnis and Shiites used to love each other, and now they just decided to blow each other up? Let's be a little realistic here.
Also, you used sarcasm to deflect my original question. What I was asking was, did the US troops cause these children's injuries, or was it the 'insurgents'? _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Wasn't there a Maysian conflict? |
Are you referring to "The Emergency" in the 60's? If so, my grandfather was there.
The US is a disgrace to the Western World. I will never forget the stories my mother in law has told me of when she was a child in Vietnam. My partners family on his mothers side are all Chinese Malaysia, and his fathers side are all Jewish. Both families have gone through the warn first hand, and have lost a lot of family. My boyfriends great grandparents were killed in wars....one in the Malaysian Emergency, in which our RAAF were a part of, the other, in the Vietnam war.
All of the wars of this world are caused by religion. As I've always said since I was a kid, **** religion (no offence to those who are infact religious). I do not see the point in blowing up each other over actions caused and done by because of your beliefs. Ridiculous. _________________ Insert useless signature here -----> |

Please explain the religious connections of the Vietnam, first world, second world, boer, Maori or Korean wars. Your statement that all wars are started by religion is not only untrue it is simply foolish and uninformed. _________________ Genesis 1:1 |
