France and Germany aren't in Iraq either. Plus France and Germany have already been heavily affected by world war, so they have history supporting them on reasons why not to participate in an unjust war. Plus, some might consider countries like France and Germany a somewhat balance of power in global affairs.
I wasn't talking about Iraq. But of course, if you want to believe that WW2 is the reason that France and Germany aren't helping in Iraq, thats your opinion.

Oil has a lot of political and military clout, on top of economic. By controlling the oil, you control movement of troops. By having control over oil reserves, you have political power. Are you denying the power oil companies have in political processes? Even in Alberta, the royalties for oil are the lowest in the world. What is the number one reason Kyoto will fail? It isn't because climate change is a good thing, it isn't in the best interest of oil companies/economy.
Why Kyoto will fail? Maybe because it is impossible to meet the demands without completley taking your economy, stripping it, and then when everything has been banned, including beef because we all know cows help the greenhouse effect, you're left with a country that has a crippled economy, but does meet the requirements of the Kyoto Protocal.

The reason why the U.S. should go into Tibet/Africa is the same reason why you are proposing they are in Iraq in the first place. If this war was really about liberating people, there are many, many more places in the world where many more people could be saved by invading them.
Tibet? And do what, start WW3?

You're right though. The US should invade every country in the world, including China just to make sure the whole world is liberated from oppresion. You obviously have no idea what strategic and diplomatic importance Iraq will have, should the US get things under control. Its going to be the domino effect, going backwards.

If Humanitarian aid is so useful, why do thousands of children die per day in Africa? Clearly the philantropist face you're trying to paint on the Americans does not apply to those nations who aren't economically, geographically or politically powerful.
Many of the children are dying AIDS and other diseases. Just exactly how would the US solve that problem by invading Africa and setting up a democratic government?

Bush Sr didn't get Saddam, although he tried. We all know Dubya is his Dad's bitch, just like a fanatical hockey-Dad living precariously through his son/daughter.
Bush Sr. tried? He had a perfect chance to invade Iraq and take out Saddam after the allied effort drove Iraq out of Kuwait. He didn't take it.

But of course if you want to believe that Bush Jr invaded Iraq because Bush Sr told him too, go right ahead. I'll just stop responding to your ridiculous claims.
