Town Hall Debate - Humanitarian Deployments: Would you us...

[MultipleInches]

Those who despise jews for using the holocaust yarn to extort reparations, shake down corporations and control USA foreign policy should try being from Poland. The jews invented the holocaust lie and turned my parents home country into a "house of horrors". When the world hears "Poland" they think of jews being gassed and it is all deception. The jews are far too heartless to even care how they stained Poland's history. Only the Palestinians can truly understand our loss.

Did you know Barack Obama is blood related to the Bush family and Dick Cheney. Another interesting fact is that nearly every us president before has also been blood related. Does make you wonder.

Tigger refers to Obama as having a lack of historical knowledge, he says that we did effectively intervene in the holocaust, and says obama said otherwise. The holocaust was ended with the US's help no doubt, but to the millions who died before we did anything, that is where we failed. He is reffering to what is going on right now in darfur, as far as sheer innocent body count it is closely reflected on holocaust in that sense, and if we hadnt of gone to war in Iraq we could have prevented it

Sarah Palin looks beautiful wearing "High-heels". But, Sarah Palin reminds me of Dan Qualye for Vice President. Do we really need this Republican Duel to run the country? Obama and Biden are true leaders.....

There was a Holocaust in Rowanda, the United States did nothing. There was further ethnic cleansings in Yugoslavia, Pol Pot's killing fields, a massacre of Armenians, of Native Americans, of Tasmanian Aborigines. The United States did nothing.

Obamas lack of historical knowledge is incredible. We (The United States of America) did intervene effectively in the Holocaust. Unless his collective "we" refers to some other group he counts himself part of

[EebstertheGreat]

As dudeman said, the holocaust occurred not in spite of U.S. efforts, but secret to them. The holocaust as we know it was relatively unknown until after WWII, which was NOT primarily about ending the holocaust, but ending German fascism and imperialism. But amiegirl points out even more importantly how many genocides have been and still are ignored. Generally, the poorer the country the less acknowledged the genocide. Columbia is a classic example, where litterally MILLIONS died as a result.

[EebstertheGreat]

The conception that the U.S. has an obligation to interfere only with Western genocides seems obviously racist when stated, but is at work in many decisions. There atrocities occurring around the world, from Zimbabwe to North Korea, many of which the public knows almost nothing about.

Dharfur stands out as the stage for by far the largest scale genocide today. Unknown hundreds of thousands have already died, and many more lost their homes. It's time to stop ignoring the unsightly poor and act.

What are you talking about?? Obamas was right. The nazis killed more than 3 MILLION!!! people before hitler was defeated. Do you call it successfully intervened??! Successful would have meant to stop Hitler befoer he could do so much harm to the world!!
