It WOULD, in fact, be great. Would you help a neighbor who gave you crap all
the time and worked against you? Called the building inspector everytime you
picked up a hammer? The animal control officer every time your dog barked?
Who robbed, or maybe let someone rob your house and talked trash about you
all the time?

Hell no...And as a Nation, we shouldnt either.......

 

I'll bet you could screw up your own wet dreams.

Yes, who would have thought that freedom from an oppressive dictator would
be so poorly received? The fact is that the freedom is well received by
almost everybody, except a few Sunnis (one in particular) that stand to
loose power because they are a minority. If they worked to build the power
base instead of working to tear it apart, thenig would be much different,
and we would be winning the peace as well as having already won the war.

Isreal is not part of the coalition because their participation would be
inflamatory, at least they are not a public denounciator of the action in
Iraq. If they disapprove, and there is no reason to suspect they do
disapprove, then they do it quietly and behind the scenes to affect the
change they think is needed. France, Germany, Russia, and China are all
benefactors of America's largesse, if not in direct foreign aid then by
other forms of our generosity.

They decry our benevolence all of the way to the bank, so to speak.

Sure it applies to bin Laden.

Much of the reason has to do with Afghanistan being able to operate its own
security and form a government that at least attempts to work well. Iraq has
not been able to do this, and we can't simply walk away and let the same
kind of dicatorial government spring up where one was crushed.

Kiss nothing good bye. The issue is government support, particularly

It isn't nonsensical at all. If you can read it in English, you have America

It's a partial list meant to convey the idea that we appreciate the support
of our friends, a few of which were mentioned by name.

Isreal is not part of the coalition because their participation would be
inflamatory, at least they are not a public denounciator of the action in
Iraq. If they disapprove, and there is no reason to suspect they do
disapprove, then they do it quietly and behind the scenes to affect the
change they think is needed. France, Germany, Russia, and China are all
benefactors of America's largesse, if not in direct foreign aid then by
other forms of our generosity.

They decry our benevolence all of the way to the bank, so to speak.

Yeah, right. Blame capitalism for all that is wrong with the world today.
Communism was a huge success! Halibuton, et al, could still get their hands
on the same dollars if those dollars were ------ around our own cuoutry
instead of across the globe to countries that don't even appreciate the
gesture.

--------. France couldn't help find a way out of a wet paper bag, let alone
decide that getting out of the bag was theright course of action.

Sure it applies to bin Laden.

Much of the reason has to do with Afghanistan being able to operate its own
security and form a government that at least attempts to work well. Iraq has
not been able to do this, and we can't simply walk away and let the same
kind of dicatorial government spring up where one was crushed.

Kiss nothing good bye. The issue is government support, particularly
financial, not trade relations. And, you already have your Jeep, so it's not
going anywhere.

It isn't nonsensical at all. If you can read it in English, you have America
to thank, because without America it would have been translated into another
language.

Why do you hate America so much?

The thing didn't start until February? Six months ago? The Iraq war began
March 20, 2003. Bush declared the end of major combat operations (when Bush
landed on the carrier, where the "Mission Accomplished" banner was
prominently posted) on May 1, 2003. By my calendar that was over a year
ago...

Jeez, this kind of ignorance is dangerous...
