Reply #25: I agree with all of your points on Afghanistan, but that does not dismiss [View All]

the argument that it was a failed state, human rights were non-existant, and it eventually came around to bite us in the ass. I think you and I are basically supporting the same idea (the UN is the only body IGO, NGO or other that can bring any semblence of stability to Iraq), but until then I think it would be a mistake to leave altogether. Just because I disagree with the entire premise for invading a soveirgn nation, I believe that it was only for war profiteers like Haliburton and I think that Bush should be impeached, imprisoned, and (if I supported the death penalty) executed, does not take away from the fact that until we at least get running water and electricity on a reliable bases to the population centers (infrastructure stuff) or the UN steps in to do it for us...we are stuck.

On a lighter note, you are very knowledgabel/eloquent on your POV...I enjoy disagreeing with you :toast:
