RE: One Iraqi-american & a bird
So can we make a list of dictators around the world and assasinate them one by one?
How do we bring human rights to china without removing the regime by force?
How do we bring human rights to zimbabwe without removing the regime?
How do we bring human rights to saudi arabia without removing the regime by force?
How do we bring human rights to Iran without removing the regime by force?
How do we bring human rights to Kuwait without removing the regime by force?
How do we bring human rights to North Korea without removing the regime by force?
Eritrea, Belarus, Somalia, Mauritania, Cuba, etc etc etc etc
Why Iraq?
The US is quite happy to support Saudi Arabia for instance.. a country that still employs slavery.. tortures its own citizens etc etc...
A concerted and consistent approach to countries that repress, torture and murder its own people would in my humble opinion be more effective than the sheer hypocrisy and self-serving foregin policy that has led to the current situation in the middle-east, south america, africa and other areas in the world..
Removing democratically elected leaders, installing dictatorships and supplying chemical and other weapons on the one hand, and then claiming the moral high-ground on the other is not only morally bankrupt it also makes the US look like an evil joke to the people on the receiving end. Why? Because they are dying, being disenfranchised and impoverished by US foreign policy.
We had an opportunity after the terrorist attack on sept 11th to begin to institute a new world order based on the rule of law, administered by international bodies. Making it increasingly difficult for these dicators to spirit away money in hidden bank accounts, obtain weapons with whichto repress their own people and removing their ability to move around the world with impunity.
Instead, the US, with the complicity of the UK, seeks to a impose a new world order based on military might and self-interest and has removed itself from the new court of international law etc etc
Bring on the new century of terror.
