Ratan,

Thankyou for your response. I feel we have a discussion here -g-

Whether the 500k kids died due to sanctions or may have died anyway is not the point. The point is that sanctions were put in by the US after a war which the US got involved in strictly for economic reasons.

Well, I do feel a little upset that 500k kids died, it is "a point". If I or my government was responsible in any way ( I have kids too!) I would feel the guilt (I hope) and do something about it. Yes the Western Governments are f**cked up and make mistakes, but the will of the ordinary people can have an effect. The war with Iraq was not just for economic reasons. F**cked up as our governments are, I (I think we can say we)do not wish to see Sadaam in control. Is that hard to understand? We have a real problem if you don't understand that point.

Re the Fundie Muslim Whackos. Yes they are a force unto themselves, sure the CIA screwed up helping them regain their freedom, but they are not the CAUSE of those whackos. If you check the record, I don't think they expected or asked them to go into the Kashmir or to crash into the WTC in NY.

Where and when does US stop?

The USA ain't going to stop. Neither are some of the other countries not run by religeous whackos.
