<<3.3 million victims of massacre in Congo. Any US troops ready to go? No. Of course not! Just to help 'ya': There's no oil there ready to plunder. >>

As usual you only hear what ya wanna hear. I've said time and time again that we need 3 criteria to go to war.

1 are we morally justified
2 can we win with out suffering major losses
3 and what's in it for us? In this case oil

it is not unreasonable or unfair or unjust to want something out of it. As long as we are morally justified ..Saddams a monster. If he weren't i would be against this 100%.

<<Don't give me this coat paint of morality to acts of agression 'cuz' only fly in countries of uninformed people. >>

It don't fly wit you cauz it's not what you wanna hear ...Is it?
You spit out the same half truths as the Arab terrorists who want an excuse to hate us.

The Europeans, especailly Belgians and French, can go clean up the Congo. They made the mess, let them deal with it.

There is Cobalt and Copper in Kinsasha provice.

The Brits can deal with Mugabe in Zimbabwe, once they get over being PC.

Of course not! ....
Because we will not be able to change anything in the region. In the Asia the "string" of democratic countries can be formed Turkey-Israel -Iraq -India -Afghanistan

Moral obligation is necessary it is not sufficient
to move troops.
Needles to say that brain processing capabilities
of Americans is higher than in any other country.
Or you think that US came from Zero power to only Super Power "cuz" some magic?
