Well Jacob....if you are correct, then the US should let every other country in the world fix the ills of the world. Perhaps Canada and France can fix Africa. Luxembourg can handle Indonesia...etc. This of course, will guarantee the murders of millions more of the worlds citizens, as most countries in the world have little or no military. Maybe you think the North Koreans could "fix" things.....they have 6 million+ under arms. Maybe the US could then just protect our own country, and not worry about all the others in the world. Balderdash. My comment: The U.S., today, has no practical restraints on the exercise of her power, military or otherwise, and hence has exempted herself from all mutually-agreed international rules, treaties, and organizations. We are a Rogue State, and a menace to the freedom of every other nation.

Jacob, I normally have you on ignore, because you are such an absolute thumb-sucking moron. But KLP's quote earlier from this post really caught my attention: "We are a Rogue State, and a menace to the freedom of every other nation." So I took you off ignore to read the rest of your post (and what a treat that was) and ask you to explain a few things. Who had "the freedom" in Iraq in six months ago? Who exercised it? And what did they do with it? And re "your comment": "So, when the U.S. uses Saddam's butchery and oppression of Iraqis, as a reason to invade them, and sets up a military occupation government, the only possible result can be a "soulless despotism", not freedom." What "seeds of good" were blooming like madness everywhere in Iraq that were stifled by the United States as the direct result of Saddam Hussein getting kicked out on his murderous butt? How could any "despotism", of any stripe, be any more soulless than one that was already in place? You are a complete fucking idiot. I have yet to see you post anything on this thread that has ever risen above the level of total clueless nonsense.
