Why do republicans support nation building in Iraq and Afghanistan but not in Bosnia where it worked?

Answer 1

Iraq and Afghanistan are rubble, hundreds of thousands are dead, and we have not built a mile of roads, that is not nation building as I understand it. BushCo is there for Dominion of the Middle East and plunder, and so far he has not built anything.

Answer 2

What was the compelling national interest that brought us into Bosnia? Why were our vaunted European friends to unable to do this themselves?

What was the compelling reason for spending the US peoples' monies and putting US service people at risk?

Shouldn't the smug Eurowankers have handled this without us? With all their vast sense of superiority and self-esteem this should have been a piece of cake, yet they couldn't do it. This would have been a very opportune time to have told them to "getthefuckouttahere".

Answer 3

What the heck are you talking about?

I was in Bosnia and helped rebuild that nation. As a matter of fact, we are using what we learned in Bosnia and Kosovo, here in Iraq.

Answer 4

I think that it is because Bosnia was more of a convenience of the Clinton admin, and the republicans are more interested in the perceived threat of the middle east than a ginned up action to divert attention from the felllon in the Whitehouse.

Answer 5

Hey Space ghost, how many troops are still in Bosnia 10 years later?

Answer 6

Because the United States is not in the business of nation building... We give people freedom and then its up to them to do with it as they will...

Answer 7

I see no nation building, I see war profiteering

Answer 8

Good question.
