Another Nut Job..

I do respect the people who earned me the right to protest. I do NOT respect the people that openly opposed the war, and I feel every person that spit or slandered the soldiers should be shot.

And South Vietnam (a democratic country) needed out help, and the U.S. at the time stated it would help ANY country keep or spread their democracy if they were threatened. We helped for a while, listened to those damned protestors and abandoned the country. =/

What did I have to gain? Nothing. The South Vietnamese had a LOT to gain. And I feel we should help any country that's in need of U.S. assistance.

It's people like you that allow thousands of people to be killed by genocide because you don't feel it's any of our business. Tell me, do you think we did the right thing in fighting Saddam when he invaded Kuwait?

I find it very hard to believe that everyone of those millions of protestors did so out of their own motives, as you said they were selfish. I believe they protested to get your guys who were fighting over there home, which I commend.

I'm not very informed about Vietnam but I do know that the US went there on their own, maybe a small coalition but mostly, like Iraq, on their own. Also like Iraq they went there without a good plan or the wrong one but the main problem I see is countries deciding to go to war on their own. History has proven time and time again that this causis friction between governments even when not infolved directly. I believe that the best way to use this planet we have at our disposal is to work together. The only thing standing in our way of working together and solving this worlds problems are our governments who seem to have agendas of their own. They are the selfish ones. I believe the US has a special place in making the world better by uniting the world, not driving it apart. I agree with Zagatto about what he says about the UN. On paper its a wonderfull idea only it needs to be refined, a process grounded by your foreign politics.


About the genocide, thanks :p Its not that Saddam was a bad man, as he is one of many, its that the US decided to go to war on their own and with proven false motives, which change over time. Its the way he fought this war. You don't free a country and win the hearts of its people by bombing it flat. For me its proof that freeing the people was not priority No.1. Saddam killed Iraqi people, so are the US troups now. What's the difference. All this killing was not necesary. Tens of thousands of lives are lost now which would be alive if Bush wasn't president. FACT!

Ofcourse I agree with protecting Kuwait from Saddam. I wish they had taken him down back then. I dare to say that maybe Bush jr. wanted to finish what his father started, using US troops to prove his father proud (I have a real negative view of your president incase you hadn't noticed yet ). Anyway, that was a long time ago and most importantly with a much larger coalition.

Just to make it clear. I would never allow genocide but would also never allow any country to take the international law into their own hands. No other country but the US could get away with this and that proves that the US is not the perfect democracy it makes itself out to be (as probably most informed people here agree with) but abuses their international influence to place themselfs above other countries and international institutions.

In short, why can't we just all be nice to each other

(BTW, I'm pretty drunk while writing this so if it doesn't make perfect sense thats why, even though I tried real hard. Goodnight.)
