>> The middle east just happens to be the source of the majority of oil in the world << your point? >> The US is the largest comsumer of oil and has proven its vulnerability to oil shocks (remember the 70's?). Yet, "we do not belong in the middle east", according to Pat. << fine. just so long as your clear about your intentions. oil is more important to you than human life. yet you are the one who criticizes mr buchanan for saying that american lives are more important to us than foreign lives. >> The US had no interests in Rwanda and it did nothing, even though genocide was taking place << so you are in favor of the slaughter of men, women, and children only when it comes to protecting our interests in commodities such as oil. >> Pretty much everywhere else that the US is involved it has strategic interests, including the balkans (WW I started there, in case you have forgotten). << feel free to enlighten me as to our strategic interest in the balkans. i want you to be clear. i want you to tell me why 1600 innocent civilians were slaughtered by NATO and what was accomplished in the process. then i want you to tell me why NATO couldn't tell the truth about why they slaughtered innocent people as long as their goals were moral and pure. why don't you tell me what our strategic interest was for bombing a pharmaceutical plant in the sudan, a baby formula making plant in iraq, why it was so necessary to deliberately bomb the chinese embassy, bomb serbian hospitals, television stations, commuter trains, buses, prisons, etc.
