I don't get why everyone is always yapping about repairing global relations, especially in how it relates to Iraq. It is just so naive to assume that every other country was taking some moral high road in being against the invasion, when the reality is plain and simple, they would enhance their own power at the expensive of our own.
I agree the current state of economics might not be as favorable as it has been in recent years, but China is no where near our equal economically, and they are still not close militarily. If Taiwan declared it's independence tomorrow and China made a move we would lay them to shreds as they have no lift capabilities and the 7th fleet would bury them. Our presence in Iraq curtails their growth or at the very least regulates, as such it is an asset to us; at the same time it does the same for Western Europe/and other Asian countries, therefore it's beneficial.
How are we fucking our allies? By doing something in our own interests? In that sense helping our allies hurts ourselves, that is a big nono, never lend to anothers power at your own expense. The analogy isn't about fucking people, it's just noting the reality that sometime, some place down the line, military action will be required. It is a necessity, and as a basis of government one of its sole purposes.
Evil is not a subjective term, I know some hear might like to think so. Decapitating civilians is evil, Flying civilians planes into civilian targets is evil, lynching christians in response to cartoons is evil, inciting civil war to forward a facist agenda is evil; again Seditious doctrine.
Also I have to ask, how in the hell do you figure OBL is not responsible for 9/11? Either as the predominant and widely accepted fact that he was the mastermind, at the very least he facilitated it. Please indulge me.
