None of you have told me anything about talking to people from other countries.
-------------------------------------------------
You haven't really either, just made some opinions, but thats stuff I hear on the news everyday as well.<p>quote:
In a subtle way I said that if you developed some contact with a person from another country then you may have some respect for that person and therefore their culture. I never said that you are disrespectful people.
-------------------------------------------------
Let's just say, I'm only half white. I have respect for others cultures.<p>

Who made the US the police of the world?
---------------------------------------------
We aren't, this is U.N. policy we are backing, what kind of example is it sending if the U.N. unanimously signs an agreement to disarm Iraq, and then does nothing to back up its statements.<p>

b: jumping into the fight. If you keep on hitting people, their going to develop a head of steam and hit you back.
------------------------------------------------
Were not just all of a sudden jumping into this situation, its been 12 years in the making, its time to get rid of Saddam.<p>quote:
I said earlier, get your foot out of everybody's a$$ and that will solve the problem.
------------------------------------------------
Not necassarily true, look at ww2, the world was begging us to join, instead, we kept to ourselves for waaaay too long and let hitler take out almost all of Europe and leak his way into northern Africa, this is why the U.N. exists in the 1st place.<p>quote:
Someone has punched you back. Therefore you now have to finish the fight because it's on. When it's finished, what is going to happen?
------------------------------------------------
this statement kind of makes it seem like Saddam is some romantic hero who should be pittied by all because he is getting bullied like a school girl by the big bad U.S.<p>quote:
If the US wins, (which everybody's money is on them as per the Muhamed Ali type propaganda that is being thrown around), then figure heads will be placed at the helm of these countries. Who are these figure heads reporting to? The US.
------------------------------------------------
The U.N. actually, there is a weekly show on t.v. that shows actual progress in Afghanistan, yes, I realize its hopped up to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but its an effective way to show that Afghanistan is doing better than ever.<p>quote:
Has this been done before? Yes ie. Saddam Housein, Bin Laden, etc.
--------------------------------------------------
this statement is false, when did the U.S. or the U.N. elect Bin Laden as a leader???<p>quote:
Once these figure heads are tired of taking direction, we will have another war. This is one way to think about it, since it's happened in the past, and don't think that Japan isn't still pissed off, but just taking it for now.
Afghanistan, other middle eastern nations, African nations etc, have suffered under their country's rule.
-------------------------------------------------
this statement is also false. Japan is pissed off?? Wrong, Japan was one of the first to mobilize its troops to the middle east after sept. 11th in total support of the U.S. We pretty much built Japan from the ground up, I have a feeling you don't know anything about ww2. They bombed us, evil emperor in charge, we overthrew him and built a democracy, they are now one of the richest nations in the world. As far as the other countries, you must give examples, otherwise, this is just, well, "street talk."<p>
quote:
Some countries have even used threats of US attacks to push their people into areas for easy round up for concentration camps. Did you hear what I just said? Governments have used the US' past history for scare tactics.
------------------------------------------------
this doesn't really have anything to do with whats going on, thats other countries problems if they want to scare people by mentioning our countries name then thats wrong, but its not like we "police" everyone in the world that do this. And this statement also reaffirms why the U.N. exists.<p>quote:
Corrective action in my mind if I were the "US king", run my country and not others, or else I would want Kofi Anan's position at the UN chair. <p>
------------------------------------------------<p>Sometimes, I just wish the U.N. would just desolve, but what good would we be to the world? None. All hail king E-bucks,lol.
