they could use the diplomacy that has worked wonders with him so far...like the one he agreed to when he signed an agreement NOT to build nukes.

You mean like the one the US pulled out of? What do you expect other nations to do Tranny? Bow down and kiss the smelly ass of the United States at every turn? The minute the United States shows a modicum of respect toward another nation is the minute I change my tune. But this BS of telling governments how to run their countries is getting tiresome. The US is not perfect and has more problems of their own than a lot of the nations they are telling how to govern themselves. The United States should worry about the United States and quite meddling in others' affairs. If someone needs help, they will ask for it through the UN. [/b][/quote]
Yeah you are right.
Just allow the rest of the world to go on their merry way and dont worry about what goes on else where. Afterall, these are all reasonable people that wouldnt stoop to sudden attacks out of the blue....got it
Worked well before WW2. Whoops. Pearl Harbor changed all that nonsense.
Worked well before 9/11 as well. Whoops.
I guess maybe some preventative measures might have been a better idea?
It blows my mind that you cant grasp the fact that the US is NOT equal to every other country in the world Lanny. They have been leaned on internationally for decades to help out all over the world. Why? Because they are not the "same" as everyone else.
Sort of like the whole Somalia debacle. The UN asks the US to go in and provide relief to the impoverished people. They do so because its the right thing. Then when they come up against the warlords that are responsible for the impoverished people, and lose 18 soldiers doing nothing more than trying to protect the innocents of the country, they retalliate. They then get clobbered on the international front because they hit the wrong target. Now they are considered the aggressive imperialists who are trying to bully the "world".
Maybe you are right....the US should pull out of everything and allow the animals in all these countries to destroy themselves...and millions of innocents that happen to be guilty of nothing more than being born in the wrong place.
I would LOVE to see the reaction from your side when they say NO...not helping anyone else ever again. Hell, maybe they should of done that as recently as 1991, and Hussein would now be likely invading his 3rd or 4th country in the middle eat and building up his empire by force even more. Of course he wouldnt be a threat to anyone in the western world would he?
