when america was attacked in 9/11, one of osama bin ladens messages was that "america is the biggest terrorist in the world". when britain was attacked on 7th july 05, the terrorists said that the terrorism would continue until brits stopped attacking muslims. considering this, i wonder why we continue to get involved with countries that dont actually concern us (such as iraq.) why havent we learnt from past mistakes such as vietnam? and who are we to say that democracy is right? why do we have the right to force our beliefs on other countries? iraqis dont want democracy. it just seems to me that a lot of the problems caused today are rooted in the west's over-involvement. and for those of you who say we are helping or liberating people.. where were our caring governments during the genocide in rwanda, for example? it seems like if you get involved in things that dont concern you, you get more bad than good. the statistics for troops dying in iraq arent good.
