We need to get out of all countries and take care of the problems that we have in our country! Thats what I say! Us first, then the rest of the world.
Where are our tax dollars going? 60 billion to iraq each year, with that we could feed the poor, prop up our social security system that we wont have in another 20 years, rebuild New Orleans, and have some left over.

Because the war in Iraq is between Sunni and Shite and Kurds and Druids and it is a religious thing. these groups have it so ingrained in them to not like the other religions they won't stop fighting as long as one remains. Kind of equal thing.
In Africa it is genocide, they are just killing those people to take their herds and land. It is a take over of the land. They could care less about their religious beliefs. This is not equal it is a massacre

I don't think they "want" us anywhere, it's just a way to shift focus. Instead of warring religious factions, they want you to see starving children. It's a way of playing on your emotions.
And as for us being able to help there over Iraq....last time we tried to help in Africa, it was a disaster (Somalia). So for those who act like it would be a cake walk for our troops and no deaths would occur, wake up and learn your history.
It's awful what is happening there, but I think we should stay the course in Iraq.

OMG! LOL! Because they want to bring more people from that country here. it has already happened in places. Problem is that the people who are brought here don't even understand the concept of telling time. Some people don't have to like this, but it is the truth.

Darfur is the example we use to show that the Iraq invasion is not about American magnanimity. There are things going on there that would make Saddam toss his lunch. There's just no oil there.

I don't recall them much caring about Congo or Rwanda. Sure, Clinton bit his quivering lip and apologized for not acting, but there are 800,000 dead Rwandans who are less than comforted by such limp rhetorical devices.

Hmm, let's see:
Iraq- oil, err...more oil?
Africa- AIDS, genocide, famine
But then again, maybe it's just the "libtard" in me. I mean, oil trumps genocide, right?

Let's see: AIDS epidemic, Joseph Kony and his Janjaweed, the list goes on. But that's not your concern, right? Forget the niggras, let's stop Saddam!
Go ahead, report me.
