Geneva convention which the US is a signatory to says that if you go and screw up a country in war you have to look after it and get it to a stable position afterwards, hence the rebuilding of Germany and Japan after WWII.
So what McCain is saying is basically... The coalition did this in Afghanistan but everyone else should help pay for it to be cleared up.... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions General Account Sent: 15 July 2008 17:31 To: ProFox Email List Subject: [OT] "The world should share the cost" of rebuilding the Afghan army-- McCain from today's speech Just heard this. Well I know that the U.S. would probably bear the most burden on this measure, given the history in Iraq for sure. Tell me: why must non-Afghan's pay for the increase of Afghanistan's army to 160,000 (instead of the current 80,000)? To my knowledge, no one pays for our army? Let's send food and health aid, but that's where the dollars should stop, imo. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
