Do you really trust the Bush admininstration to solve Africa's problems? Even if we had the resources to invade yet more countries, the result would be more no-bid contracts for Halliburton and continued tribal conflict while we try to prop up Ahmed Chalabi types. Yes, there should be international pressure for an end to the bloodshed. What form this should take, I don't know. But faith in Bush is like faith in Chomsky: brain death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774131.post-36646699827000467422008-06-15T22:10:00.000-04:002008-06-15T22:10:00.000-04:00That's the obvious problem with Web 2.0, Social Ne...That's the obvious problem with Web 2.0, Social Networking, etc. <BR/><BR/>Anyone that has an axe to grind or merely perceives to have been slighted, etc., can attempt to ruin someone else using pseudonyms or anonymity from the privacy of their parents' basement .<BR/><BR/>Cowardly bastards, indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774131.post-74665513230982667252008-06-13T14:05:00.000-04:002008-06-13T14:05:00.000-04:00I think he's accusing him of having once been a fo...I think he's accusing him of having once been a foul-mouthed communist.

Especially since the American and European publics have very little (read: almost no) tolerance for the bloodshed that would almost certainly occur on both sides.

We stood aside watching for years, even though we knew what was going on. Without the NATO (read: US) taking action it would not ended that fast. <BR/>WWII - There were valid declarations of war, so occupations very legitimate. <BR/>A lot of people support interventions for human rights and/or humanitarian action. But those are huge actions to be taken and usually people will care little if things are happening far away. <BR/>Remember the last time the US did this in Africa? They got their asses kicked in Mogadishu. It will be hard to get the public support to give it another try.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724297580099583307noreply@blogger.com
