Liberia and Bush.

[A Black Falcon]

Its because you wholly and completely misrepresent both situations, that's why. If you can honestly compare a standard peacekeeping operation like we should be doing in Liberia to a complete war and regime change like we did in Iraq you aren't just wrong, you're completely insane...

We aren't trying to change the Liberian government, really... we are trying to provide peace among warring factions and then let them (with us helping with negociations) figure out what to do next without war. We would be protecting the Liberians from the war that is tearing their nation apart... that is a good cause. Like Haiti, Rwanda, Somalia, Bosnia, etc, etc... I know some far left people are against all use of force but I know that is unrealistic and not a good idea. Peacekeeping is good. It works. It helps stabalize war-torn societies.

However... Iraq isn't peacekeeping. It is regime change.

There was no war in Iraq before we brought it. That is a key, key difference... how you can ignore it is completely beyond me.

You just don't want to see it, that's all...

THERE IS A MAJOR MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STARTING A WAR AND TRYING TO STOP ONE. CAN YOU SEE THAT OR ARE YOU COMPLETELY BLIND???
