Iran and the Problem of Evil

[goon]

I agree with Browning and Oldschoolfan.
I'm tired of our nation's best people getting shot to pieces just because some fruit loop felt the need to go start a war.
And I'm tired of spending hundreds of billions of dollars that we don't have to finance it.
Washington advised that we avoid foreign entanglements and we should have taken that advice.

John Blaze: If we are so worried about genocide and all those evils, why did we look the other way in Rwanda? Why are we looking the other way in Darfur? Why are we allowing tyranny to spread in Burma?

1: Rwanda was a civil war between Hutus and Tutsis, and none of our business.

2: Darfur is also a type of civil war, not a genocide. Read the wiki article on Darfur's "genocide" and you'll be better informed.

3: Burma is a different thing altogether. The same Hollywood types whom are decrying the spilling of blood in Darfur and now Burma will be the first to decry any attempt of our government attempting to meddle.

The reality is that because alot of what goes on in the world DOES affect us in some way or another, we are over-extended when it comes to helping out the world.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

The public now fondly remembers FDR and his actions during the second world war, but what you forget is that at the time he was as unpopular as our current administration. The same type of people arguing against helping out the European powers falling to Hitlerite hordes, and the same type of people wanting to help them out.
