[QUOTE]Originally posted by Highway Hoss: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: "Common Dreams" is carefully edited to avoid such things, as they cause cognitive dissonance.[/QUOTE]I'm sure all the various publications from which they draw articles appreciate that characterization..which IMHO applies more to this invasion anyway. [QUOTE]Translation: We stubbornly refuse to let them kill all the Jews, or put Israel in a position which would make it easier for them to drive the Jews into the sea.[/QUOTE]Your translaotion, First of Two. I fully believe that Israle has every right to exist and is in many ways an admirable nation deserving of US support; US support however shoudl not mean turing a blind eye to policies like building illegal settlements or walls in defiance of UN Resoulutions. Also keep in mind we ship them billions in foriegn aid. [QUOTE]Rather than their preferred style of corrupt, tyrannical regimes, like the Taliban and the Iranian Fundie-psychos.[/QUOTE]You mihgt want to recall that we created and funded the groups that became the Taliban and Al-Qaeda to fight Soviet occupation of their country. As for the Iranian fundamentalists, they gained support because we propped up a corrupt, brutal ruler in the Shah of Iran and failed to realize the danger until it was too late. Interestingly, there is a growing opposition movement to the Iranian fundamentalist government in the country. Lastly, this is not the first time we invaded Iraq; we did a similar action 40 years ago to install the Ba'athists in the first place. We also supported Saddam for a long time against Iraq. [QUOTE]Especially when invited.[/QUOTE]Invited by a government that has close financial ties to the Bush family and runs a very undemocratic regime in its own right. A government BTW some of whose members may have financed some of the 9-11 suidcide bombers and Al-Qaeda. [/QB][/QUOTE]
