You did change my opinion a little. You provided a good argument to justify the invasion, and the more I learn the more I realize that intervention in the Middle East is necessary in some cases. You keep trying to stereotype me and in this case it is causing you stress. I don't hate America and I don't think it is evil. And Mystic, I respect you. Because you have been able to disagree with me while still showing civility and I hope we can maintain that in the future. Goodnight.

You know that a lot of your aid comes with conditions attached. Some reasonable, some opportunistic. And then you complain when you do something out of goodness and don't get anything in return.

[psychospores]

No, not a solution, I am pointing out how neglecting multiple problems in Iraq led to even bigger ones. The Mahdi Army was not a solution.

[mysticx0]

so using sadr and his group of former iraqi troops and baath party members is your solution? LOL

[mysticx0]

really? what the do we get in return for our aid from ethiopia? we were helping somalians actually get their food/aid without warlords stealing and look what it got us. dont hand me that shit like while we shake hands with the right we stab with the left.

[mysticx0]

if your looking for an apology or some sympathy you wont find it in me. you cant call us monsters and then be upset when we become it.

take it like this. next time some countries problems become our problem, they now have a record, good or bad, of what happens when we step in and solve the problem our way. so fix your own problems before we get there. i love this lol. cant wait for jeb bush to run.

Your aid usually comes with demands to open up vulnerable markets to international competition, or it involves funding proxy wars ... listen, I'm only defending what I said. To think this all started from me venting about Cheney! I am not trying to upset you, I've just really been enjoying the discussion. However, we have to stop somewhere, so why not here? I could rip Canada a new asshole over the same sorts of things, it's not just the U.S.

[psychospores]

No cheap shot intended. My humor tends to offend. You did say I didn't know what I was talking about when it came to the economy, though. I suppose that is how you show affection?

[psychospores]

And now you're justifying Halliburton's actions, which essentially robbed both Iraq and the U.S. of their wealth.

[psychospores]

If the Iraqi people wanted liberation, wouldn't they have been more than willing to help with those projects. The offers were there. It is more than possible to rebuild a country without relying on the private sector. why convince your friend to go to Iraq when the resources you need are already there at a much cheaper cost?
