Why are they angry? Because the situations are D I F F E R E N T ...
Too complex for you? Sorry, it doesn't get simpler than that...
Oh, and you prove many of my points (that I don't say).
Precicely Bush's thinking. Why do they matter? They don't! So we can ignore and let them die. As for Iraq... its got all kinds of personal and campaign bonuses for him if managed right, so that one gets special attention.
The point is that it should not matter whether the nation is rich or poor.
I know Republicans hate the idea... but we are the most powerful nation in the world. We should be using that power for good. For making the world a better place. And we don't do that by bungling campaigns on pathetic dictators and letting people be slaughtered. Anywhere.
We should be in Liberia. We should be in the Congo. We should be doing more to aid the Iranians against their tyrranic government. We should be increasing pressure and diplomatic efforts on North Korea.
We should not be invading hostile nations with no reason.
Liberians ASKED FOR OUR HELP. They DESPERATELY want us, or the UN, to go in and help them in their hour of need. But what do we do? Ignore them and let the bodies pile up because Bush hates policing the world.
Well when you are the power on the block you'd better be policing... because the use of brute force alone doesn't solve anything. It just increases the general hatred of you in the community... as we have learned under the leadership of this gang of idiots.
And if you're going to use force, like Afghanistan and Iraq, you'd better have a DARN good plan for what you do once its over... and NOT one that reads "the happy cheering crowds eagerly become a nice non-Islamic democratic state" like our books for both those nations clearly read. Even a third grader should be able to see that those were ridiculous fairy tales not even fit for the Brothers Grimm...

Quote: I say, the Liberians can go screw if the US displeases them...they're probably the least important country in the world, and their opinions don't amount to a pisshole in a snowbank.
