I'ma put it to you like this. back in the 60's Papa Doc took revolutionary students in Haiti and turned them over to the US to fill his quota of "communists" to be sent over. When the US went back to put Arisitide back in power, don't you think there was a price? If you look at the man before and after the coup, you can tell he sold his soul to America for power in Haiti, and consequently, he's in their pocket, and acting like the perfect puppet too. he and his Lavalas party are up to the same old tricks the other bad guys used, intimidation, vote tampering, the whole nine. > >>>Sudan= Hey, are you FOR slavery? >>>Religious persecution? >>> >> >>But that's not why we bombed >>that pharmaceutical plant. It was >>because of the questionable allegation >>that it was being used >>for terrorist activities by Osama >>Bin Laden. Either way, we >>bombed a sovereign nation who >>hadn't done shit to us. > >As far Bin Laden is concerned, >I SERIOUSLY doubt he's gonna >think twice about what color >of Americans he's gonna terrorize >the next time. Also, don't >forget that he's a man >and not a sovereign nation. >The reason being that he >operates from several nations randomly >or whatever, so anything affiliated >with him is a target. >Not because the nation did >something against the US, but >because HE did something against >the US from that particular >nation. > if there was some american terrorist blowin chinese embassies up in africa, and they traced it back to a DuPont plant in east bumblefuck, illinois, and it just so happened that your family depended on that factory, on sovereign US soil mind you, for income, i think the situation and your feelings about indiscriminate bombing agaisnt possible links to terrorist cells would be different > >>>Afghan= I know nuthin about that >>> >> >>Same situation. We bombed a sovereign >>nation over questionable allegations that >>part of their territory was >>being used for terrorist activities, >>How would u feel if >>another nation did that to >>us? >
exactly
>>Which is exactly what we are >>doing. Protecting our interests. Why >>do you think we didn't >>intervene in Rwanda or Northern >>Ireland?
if you have any sense, and i know you do, you would realize American peacekeeping = protecting American interests
rememeber the oil scene in 3 kings? the gulf war was about oil and testing new weapons(stealth fighter), not Kuwaiti independence
J'ai le sang de mille guerriers Haitiens dans mes veins.
Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double- edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrow
