<WHO CARES who put him into power!!!.. > Just chronicling our track record. Yesterday it was anyone who would wave a finger at Russia, today it's anyone who claims to have found al Qaeda dung on one of their mountain passes: Since 9/11 Shrubs has requested 3.8 Billion in security assistance for 67 countries allegadly linked to the struggle against terror... 32 of the ones currently slated to recieve aid were identified by State Dept itself in 2000 as having 'poor' or worse human rights records. Our new bedfellows [that we've never met] in Uzbekistan are slated for 45 million while their security forces are accused of outright torture of any opposition. Pakistan lines up for 75 million in C-130 Cargo planes and F16 parts. <<WHO CARES who put him into power!!!.. I don't care.. why should you??!!!!>> Yea, I care... you know why??? Because we gave weapons and training to terrorists by doing so that's why. And we are repeating the SAME mistake again. <<It's SO STUPID!!! > Yea, I know, it sure is isn't it. <I wish the Russians hadn't sold him weapons.> I wish WE hadn't sold him AND the rest of the third world weapons. And I wish we didn't CONTINUE to do so [above]. we sell all this shit, Russia is a distant third as far as I know. These aren't deer hunting rifles... IMO this action boarders on insane. <And when was the last time the UN voted to use military force against another country?? (NEVER)..> Yes, as I said, quite an opportunity pissed away. < It's THEIR GAMES and putting their individual economic interests over the international good, which has led the US to take this action with a "coalition of the willing"..> As are we. You just said we need to protect Saudia Arabia against Sadam as a major thrust in the 'attack' argument. Your in a glass house throwing stones. <Fuck 'em> As I said a long time ago... we simply have basic disagreements about how humans should interact. I don't think it needs debating, everything said here has been rehashed tons of times in various media. There is nothing new in either of our posts. DAK
