I was having a bad day-sorry for the insults...I just think that all Americans would be pissed off at any other country that is behaving as we are. We should not have our military all over the world, whether or not under the guise of the UN. We do not live in a Democracy and never have. The day I get true democratic representation is the day I will like the existing government. Our government actually sounds a lot like this: A tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control, and forcible suppression of opposition. This is Fascism, and it does not involve rascism in the political definition.
As in, "Wow, it's a miracle someone as dim as you is still alive and hasn't wandered into traffic and been hit yet." I deserved that!
I never said it was 'a right'. Simply put, it becomes the burden, the responsibility if it makes you feel better, of the strong to help keep the world in balance, protect the weak, defend justice, and yes even at times quell the evil. (I use 'evil' there for lack of a better word for Saddam. Find me the word that best describes a man who supports torture in the form of, Acid to the Face, Electrocution to genitals, Electric Drills to flesh, abuse of Children in front of their parents, burning, branding, and rape.) You do not think that the US has done those things five times over. The US put Osama and Hussein in power!!! (Please don't argue this point with me, We really did) I do not think that this world needs an ethnocentric ruler policing it and all the cultures on it. That is not a good thing. We are right in our opinions just as strongly as China, Russia, Brazil, or even Iraq.
It's not like the U.S. is 'acting alone' on this issue, even though the media likes to try and convince you it is. Spain, Italy, England, Ireland, Belgium, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and others all support the U.S. in its move towards military action. They may not agree on the timetable laid out, but they agree on the necessity for change in Iraq, even if through force. Forcing ideals...Fascism...
A lot of the populace in those aforementioned countries do not support the US in any way. Maybe the reason their governments do is simply economics?
You seem like an intelligent person, I really do apologize for the insults.
