Yes, all 150 of you… you know who you are… well unless you’re all wearing burkas.
In the sun today they take on the story of failed democracy… in a country that didn’t have democracy before; never wanted it, and actually I seem to recall a few incidents recently where they kinda mentioned that it should be stopped at all cost.
10 marines died for this as well. This is truly sad. Who gives us the right to impose our so-called freedom on another state? What’s more depressing is that some stupid idiot thought that this might actually have a chance at working.
Should we not go in to free those enslaved by dictatorship, those who are being tortured for no reason… My personal opinion is that while this is really bad shit, NO we should not go in. Or if we do we need to do it because it is morally correct, and do it fairly and equally across the board, not just to those we have a bit of grudge against or those who’s country we need to be on our side because of it’s oil interests. Admittedly we have to prioritise, but I don’t see the atrocities in western and southern Africa being sorted any time soon… Oh, with the exception of Angola, whose government we are not attempting to demolish because of the mass genocide, but actually negotiating with because of the rich offshore oil fields.
Politics is two-faced there is no doubt, but in the end they are there to run the country in the best interests of the citizens that elected them. So just be honest. Allow the tree hugging hippies to demonstrate, and attempt to vote you out the next time round. Also honesty is the best policy because you can then feely admit that you are gonna go in, get the person that you want, destroy their ability to fight back just out of spite and it saves millions on spin doctors and trying to convert the country to a new religion… ah, the crusades… those were the good old days.
