Two for one Sale

[David2004]

Not too many years ago the American government and people were the envy of many people in the world. From all over the world people wanted to come to America. They were proud for what America stood for in sprit and opportunity for all. People from all over the world came to America to discover new ways and products that the people of the world wanted and making great fortunes from nothing. America was a major exporter of produces and ideas bringing us into the modern world as we know it today.

Days and weeks after 9-11 most people and nations sympathy and sorrow poured out for the people of the United States. The whole world was behind us with a very few exception. Even going into Afghanistan most for the people in the world were behind us with many people having some reservations. Going after Bin Laden who was at the root of 9-11 people understood. Then like a ?Two for one sale? we start to go after Saddam?s deck of cards in Iraq after we have been bombing Iraq on a regular basis since the 1991 war. Economic trade sanctions that only harmed and effected the every day people of Iraq while Saddam and his deck of cards lived like Kings with bombs and missiles dropping out of the sky.

No one of sound mind questioned whether the American military forces could win the military war against Saddam. The question that many people had was how was America going to bring peace into Iraq after winning the military war. The civilian leaders of the United States government were telling the American people and the people of the world. That we were going to be perceived a hero by the Iraqi people with the people cheering and throwing flowers. That the Iraqi oil was going to pay for the war costing the American taxpayer every little. Today almost a 1000 Americans solders killed with many 1000?s injured and maimed for life. So many false statements and lies told to the American people and the people of the world about peace and Iraq. Today by many high-level American government officials and mass media talking heads speak as if it is a coin of a toss whether Syria or Iran is seen as a bigger threat to America?s national security. Probably it will turn into another ?Two for one sale in the name of God War on terror?.

You know, you guys keep saying this. I dont think it means what you guys think it means.

David, I'm really failing to see a salient point in your post. It tackles some pretty big issues, but speculating that we're going to invade Iran and Syria is really just...speculation.

And about the U.S. soldiers being greeted with flowers-- I'd argue that bringing democracy to Iraq is a good thing even if the populous isn't immediately appreciative. Just like the 'rents always say, 'You'll thank me later.'

The salient point about liberation, however, is that freeing Iraqis isn't what got us into Iraq in the first place. Purported weapons of mass destruction and Iraqi governmental ties to Al Qaeda which were both proven to be data-mined conclusions drawn from contradictory CIA intelligence are good reasons to be PO'd at the administration, which you seem to be kind of saying...

The hubris and unilateralism of the U.S. is also somewhat deplorable, in my mind, and the wealth of international good will that was squandered is almost as impressive as the surplus that was squandered.

You also bring up the strategy to bring peace to Iraq and the non-existant exit strategy.

All these things are important, but you don't ACTUALLY seem to be saying anything, just kind of summarizing and reguritating liberal rhetoric. Don't get me wrong, I'm probably on the same page as you, but uh, where's your point??!

What really confounds me is that posting of paragraphs of this crud, then no response, but more paragraphs of crud. Do these types of posters believe their screeds are so enlightening that someone will read them and 'see the light?' I mean, what is their purpose? :huh:

The answers are much more complicated to outline than the problem we face in Iraq. This is because there are many more variables and unknowns to the answers than to the problem. First we need a leader of the United States that will recognize that we have made some great mistakes in our calculation and our military policies in Iraq. There will have to be an apology to the world body of people and nations, made by a high-ranking American government officials for the mistakes made in Iraq. Then an emergency forum must be assembled with the Arab Legion of Nations, European Union, United Nations, United States and an Iraqi delegation. A team must be formed and come up with a plan of agreement. Each party involved will come to the table with what they can do as well as requesting help from others to complete the plan. Only by building a strong and real multilateral collations will we be able to tackle the problems in Iraq giving peace a chance.

You can lead a horse to water but you can?t make them drink. This old proverb has a lot of relevance in the problems we face in Iraq today. Trying to do good for others that are different than you is harder than helping people like your own. This is one of the main reasons we must look to the other side for some of the answers. A major change in the type of ground forces that are in Iraq today would be at the top of the agenda. Fewer United States military soldiers being replaced with more international humanitarian workers. Today the Iraqi people suffer from 70% unemployment until this is corrected there will be no security or peace in Iraq. There are many international NGO?s that could be assistance in the re-building of Iraq.

That will never happen.

 

[freeandfun1]

That will never happen.

As there is no need for it to happen.

 

[JIHADTHIS]

There will have to be an apology .

For you being a product of the US education system..........

We're not past tense.

David, even today the American government and people are the envy of many people in the world. Who is telling you otherwise?

David, people are still coming to America to discover new ways and products that the people of the world want and making great fortunes from nothing. America is a major exporter of products and ideas bringing many into the modern world as we know it today. Who is telling you otherwise?

Frankly, I think the UN should apologize for not taking care of the threat of Saddam in a more timely manner. Why did it take them 10 years and 18 resolutions before we finally stepped in to actually resolve the matter? A little slow weren't they?

Also, I think the UN should apologize to us for not taking care of the terrorist threats earlier. Not only were the terrorists attacking the U.S. but many other countries as well. How come the UN never did anything effective when everybody was all cozy? What the hell were they doing with their time? If we weren't a member, I'd sue them in International Court.

If the UN and other groups think they can be effective against terrorism why don't they just group together themselves right now and do it? After all we are only one country in this world. We aren't dictating to other countries. What's stopping the Arab Legion of Nations, European Union, United Nations, and an Iraqi delegation from getting together? Do they need our permission to meet together? Why are you putting the resolution of all problems on the shoulders of the U.S.? Sounds like a blame game to me.

My guess is that you are just part of the international socialist/communist crowd that wants to take down America or else another sucker from our liberal/socialist education system.

That also has a lot of relevance for kerry supporters.

One question - and I'm not asking this to be obnoxious, but simply to acquire a frame of reference - are you an American?

Isn't posting somebody else's work without giving credit plagerism?

Yep. Unless you indicate it it not your work.

Shall American officials also appologize for having the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon blocking the way of the Iraq trained Al-Qaida suicide bombers targets?

How much are you paid by the terrorist organizations of Islam?
