Continued sanctions versus war. Sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two evils. Bush lacked the wisdom to see which was the lesser.

You keep maundering platitudes about humanitarianism but you have zero humanitarian love for anybody and anything but your own beliefs. Anybody who can stand by and watch millions of people die without lifting a finger and then BLAME THEM for their own demise is a monster. As much as I dislike Bill Clinton, he was willing to lift a finger once in a while. Not that Bush is any paradigm of humanitarianism, but he, too, is willing to lift a finger once in a while. Life is complicated. Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty. I believe you are sincere. I also believe you personally do more for others in need. I can also see how Ronald Reagan could give the shirt off of his back to help someone in need, but his policies were cruel for the very poor in our society (but that is entirely another debate). Having said that, your continued support of George W Bush is mind boggling. It defies comprehension. You are definitely not a stupid person. We can agree to disagree.
