Certainly humanity wasn't the only issue - I wasn't presenting it that way either - I just made mention that we HAVE done a lot of good there & that many residents of Iraq are appreciative of our intervention. Should intervention be avoided if it may be perceived that there is some financial benefit? There better be a bunch as we've certainly spent a "bunch" over there.
Personally, I believe the situation had much more to do with a perceived threat to our country - certainly in Afghanistan's case - we were attacked on our own soil by all means by those being harbored & training there (unless you really believe those fictional videos that somewhere along the line, got picked up by the conspiracy theory folks and presented as reality). Iraq was maybe more of a threat to our allies, the stability of the region - and of course, a number of the citizens that live there. As mentioned before, I'm fairly certain there is MUCH more to this than this lowly, hourly worker bee is aware of - and I'm quite certain none of us will ever have a full "big picture" of the situation. I'm right there with you on the celebrity issue. :) -- 86atc250r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 86atc250r's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54678 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
