Huh?!?!?
"All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: The United States will not ignore oppression or excuse your oppressors," Bush said. "When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you."
Wow, wonder who the next tyrant is...It's interesting that the whole war in Iraq was based off inaccurate information. WMD...where??? Who is benefiting from what is going on in Iraq? You know who...not our soldiers...not the people we "rescued from tyranny"...who...I wonder...
Is it the job of the United States to be the world police? If we deem someone a tyrant, does that give us the right to invade, kill, maim, and occupy? What do police do...they are there to protect and to serve, right? If we are the world police, wouldn't it be our job to be the world protector then? Sounds crazy doesn't it. But think about it, if we can spend multi billions of dollars sending troop after troop (not even well equiped) to war, couldn't we spend more to end world hunger? Is it our job as a country to help other nations when they need it...maybe not. But, it is our job as humans to help humanity. What we have are major humanitarian issues. Death, disease, hunger, poverty...you name it, it's out there. So instead of spending countless amounts of money and resources chasing phantoms, we should be addressing "real" issues.
