heh, another community message brought to you by the libertarian party. come on, you gotta at least pick an impartial article. if you're coming from a point of it's a free for all, too bad your life sucks, eat sh1t, oh here's some pocket lint start a fire, well humanitarian missions are never going to be good.
but at some point you have to at least airdrop food rations. i think that's what we should do in the future. just fly over drop some corn, needles, cotton, rice. and bombs for people that attack us ala afghanistan. let them setup their own government, or make them sign some kind of agreement that absolves us of all screwups before we go in
it's very hard to help someone when they just criticize you.
I'm saying call a nation wide vote in iraq and afghanistan and ask if they want us there or not. and we can leave or stay.
for those people that want us to stay, they better risk their lives just like our troops and should take on even more risk. of course it's hard to tell someone what to do when they don't have their own say. it's the whole representative government issue again.
on the flip side, anyone complaing about china can go to hell, if you don't want to change governments, don't complain when we deal with crappy people. but do complain about unfair trade!
