If Bush had never invaded Iraq, the sanctions would still be in force. And, if they were as deadly as the critics claim, they would still be killing Iraqi children. But I guess that would be OK because it would be the "international community" acting multilaterally through the UN.
We didn't start the fire It was always burning Since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No we didn't light it But we tried to fight it
But that isn't why we went to Iraq, we went because they were going to kill us all with WMD's, not because we love Iraqi children.
Out where the river broke The bloodwood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boiling diesels Steam in forty five degrees The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent, now To pay our share Four wheels scare the cockatoos From Kintore East to Yuendemu The western desert lives and breathes In forty five degrees The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent, now To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them we'r gonna give it back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning
I was merely pointing out that the pre-invasion policy of international sanctions came with its own collateral damage. That's just how it is with economic sanctions, and quoting Billy Joel and Midnight Oil songs doesn't change that basic fact.
But the collateral damage didn't include our service men and women. It also didn't piss off the entire world and put our country into greater danger. While it sucks that bad things happen in other parts of the world, it isn't always our problem. We should have never gone into Iraq. It has destroyed an entire region of the world and has destroyed our standing in global politics. We are less powerful and more vunerable than ever before.
Did anybody hear about the guy that was speared by the 600 pound marlin the other day off Bermuda? Crazy!
Madelaine Albright on 60 Minutes in 1996: Stahl: "We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And you know, is the price worth it?" Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price * we think the price is worth it." Link - > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_Albright
Mud Sh-sh-shark THE MUD SHARK DANCING LESSON! Mud Sh-sh-shark We're gonna do a little dancing, A little dancing thing called the Mud Shark Now, this dance started up in Seattle Lemme tell you 'bout the Mud Shark... The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows: There's a motel in Seattle, Washington called the Edgewater Inn. The Edgewater Inn's built on a pier.. so that means that when you look out your window you don't see any dirt -- it's got a bay or something out in your backyard,,, And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle shop where the residents can go down whenever they want to, and rent a fishing pole and some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, open the window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room and do whatever they want with it... you know what I mean? Now in this bay there's quite a variety of ah... fish! Not only do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses that you can catch. And all these denizens of the deep can come in real handy... Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll band called the Vanilla Fudge. Let's say one night you checked into the Edgewater Inn Motel with a 8mm movie camera, enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting -- a succulent young lady (Mnaaaah!) with a taste for the bizarre... My mind drifts back to a meeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago O'Hare Airport where the members of the Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home movie they made at the Edgewater Inn with a Mud Shark. I'm gonna tell you, this dance, the Mud Shark, is sweeping the ocean!... Out You go out So far out You do the Mud Shark. baby ... etc
If you can't discern the difference, then you are truly blind, and obviously have no respect for members of the United States Military.
I have no idea what you're talking about. I was focusing on the human costs of two different policies.
It was irresponsible to say...bottom line. Kinda hypricitical as well...A one finger pointing outward when three are pointing inward type of thing...
You just haven't had the good stuff. A friend of mine just brought back some 12 year old Jameson and it was smoooothe..
