Why does Bush43 believe military solutions are the best way to settle geopolitical conflicts & problems?

Question

I can't think of any international problem BUSH43/CHENEY have tried to approach diplomatically especially since they dumped the UN when the US Military went into Iraq without its support or the support of more of our NATO allies.

The 9 A's posted so far will lead to additional Q's. Please stay focused on the Q and explain why Bush43 believes in military solutions, not why you do or do not!

Answer 1

becoz they r old school dino's who still believe in military intervention to maintain balance of power.

Answer 2

After our country was attached at home that did serious damage, Bush went to the UN and told them what he was planning on doing. The UN has gotten much weaker and more corrupt over the years and did not like what Bush wanted to do so they decided not to back what we are doing. That was before the cash kick back scandal that caught Russia, France, and Germany dealing with Iraq even when the were agreeing in the security council that Saddam could not be trusted and needed to be removed. Bush also kept trying to use diplomacy to remove Saddam up until he invaded. There were at least one or two Muslim nations that would have taken Saddam if he would have just stepped down so that the UN could do a serious search without any opposition from Saddam. I did a little research and the last UN resolution on Saddam was that he was still a very possible threat to people. The UN and NATO were both cowards that were taking money from Saddam to look the other way and they were caught with their hands in the cookie jar. The media has done a very bad job of covering the Food for Oil scam that was going on in the UN. The United States and Britain were the only major players that was not involved with this from NATO.

Answer 3

Way back when, in 1823, President Monroe approved what is called the Monroe Doctrine, which said that the United States will not tolerate European intervention of America...

Fast forward to shortly before World War I, Keiser Wilhelm (Germany) is misbehaving and trying to mess with Latin America. President Roosevelt passes what's called Roosevelt's Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine which says that the US will not tolerate intervention in the Americas, including Latin America...

Moving forward to 1948...World War II has come to a close, we are in the middle of heated disagreements with the Soviets over what to do with Germany, and President Truman gets a great idea (The Truman Doctrine) to expand Roosevelt's Corollary. Now the US will not only be the police force of the Americas, but we will declare ourselves the police force of the world. We have the right to intervene anywhere we please. If it's in the interest of gaining the US allies, then we'll be there.

Bring that to present day and you'll see that there is a long history of the US being involved with every little civil war that goes on in every little country. There's never been a time in history where some country didn't hate some other country and want to wipe them off the face of the earth. It's not President Bush, every President has been involved in something. He's simply following the precedence set for him by every leader before him.

Regardless, I don't think people who so readily lay down there lives for the chance to take out a few Americans are the type of people you can sit down and talk sense into over dinner. These are ruthless people who want to see every American, be it man, woman, or child wiped off the face of the earth. Some conflicts call for peace treaties, this one calls for action.

Answer 4

I think this person has a good point-

"Perhaps you should read/watch/listen to the news more. Sometimes, especially when people have too much religion, there is no choice but a threat of power. Doesn't mean you have to use it but sometimes you do. How do you reasonably work out a solution with a people that kill their own, train their children to commit suicide while killing others AND believe that they will receive 7 virgins for every infidel they kill?"

But I think its not that simple. I don't think there's an easy answer. Yes, how DO you reason with people that kill their own and train their children to kill and commit suicide etc. Reasoning is out the door because obviously these people have lost it. However if we send troops over there - and my opinion is if you give a group of testosterone filled men under 25 guns, something is going to go terribly wrong. When have we ever known groups of extremely young men to conduct themselves calmly and according to reason? Not much. That's why they go over there and end up raping and killing civilians there. That just adds fuel to the terrorists fire and gets more of them amped up on killing and attacking us. So what it basically comes down to is predicting the future - what is going to get more of us killed - infuriating them by going over there and f'ing up and killing innocent people there (do two wrongs make a right)? Or not asserting our authority and using force to get them to back down? I really don't know.

As for why Bush believe military solutions are the best way, yes, I think it is because he's an egomaniac.

Answer 5

Because Clinton tried the "diplomatic" solution and look where (9/11) that got us.

I'd rather trade blows with the terrorists overseas than let them have the chance to get back on US soil again.

And cooperation with "allies" just holds the U.S. back. You can see this happening right now in the UN with Iran and North Korea. China protects North Korea and Russia protects Iran so that any meaningful intervention to stop the threat that they pose is completely thwarted.

Not to mention the fact that when you put international troops on the ground it turns into a logistical and command & control nightmare.

Answer 6

You are absolutely right. We should invite the animalistic terrorists to a tea and give them all of our government secrets. Then, when they kill more innocent civilians like 9-11 (forgot about that little incident, did ya?) - we can pat them on the back, kiss their butts and thank them for keeping us in check. Giving them 9 months to hide their WMDs was pretty diplomatic, too. Now we'll be over there forever. Thanks for being a dumbass and supporting the liberal media - who, by the way, is responsible for most of the American deaths so far. Why don't YOU give us some suggestions (just in case you aren't a tea-drinker).

How do you reasonably work out a solution with a people that kill their own, train their children to commit suicide while killing others AND believe that they will receive 7 virgins for every infidel they kill?

Answer 8

faith, it is, a willingness to declare to "believe" that that is irrational and unprovable, is the reason behind the topic matters interior the region, and the further non secular the guy (on both area) the further probably they're to be a component of the undertaking. on the top of the day, if one team thinks that the international is managed by using the invisible unicorn and those who don't think in him are going to hell and the different team thinks the international is managed by using the invisible leprechaun and picture that the different adult adult males are going to hell, there'll be inherent alterations. the answer is to advance up and get well from the guy fairy tale it is faith.

Answer 9

Because diplomacy is a farce that never works. Name one time in history, where diplomacy stopped bad people from doing bad things. Did diplomacy stop Hitler? Did diplomacy stop North Korea from invading South Korea? Did diplomacy stop North Vietnam from invading South Vietnam? Did diplomacy get Saddam out of Kuwait? Did diplomacy stop the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo?

Only people that live in a fantasy land believe in diplomacy.

Answer 10

Cause every human in the world believes that " There must defend their home country land "


But, do we own the world .... or

we just borrow it from our children?

Answer 11

Because he is a drunkard, egomaniacal, jackass. He thinks he's above the law of the land and he's destroying this country.
