How do we choose?

Question

Well, not us but the people who supposedly lead us .
How do we choose which country we will interfere with .
We know that America chose Viet Nam because it was thought they were going communist and of course they were , but was it anyone elses businiss and I think Korea was the same and we all joined in there .
The myth of WMD took us into Iraq tho what the real reason was I doubt we will ever know , but why are we in Afganistan ??, what right have we to interfere in the running of that country .
If the excuse is that they are badly run countries why are we not interfering in Zinbabwe or any one of those African countries where murder is the rule of the day..
Colombia is the major source of cocaine I think, so .... why arent we covering that country with Agent orange .
America , Britain , probably France and certainly Israel all have a nuclear weapon, maybe China too and pretty soon Iran which definately will be a castrophy , what chances that one of these will use it soon

Answer 1

The people must have the right to choose what their government will do particularly attacking other countries and not only the Congress and President.

Answer 2

First off, you got your facts mixed up. We are in Afghanistan because of the 9/11 attacks. We did not go into Iraq because it was an unstable country. We invaded because there were false threats of WMDs. We helped South Vietnam because they were going to be overunned by communism. We don't just try and invade for that small reason of they are badly run countries. Just remember that. All countries have a limit to WMDs. We thought Iraq produced more than the UN allowed.

Answer 3

In order to be the most powerful country in the world, we need to stay on top of things, and winning wars is one way to do that.

As far as why are we in Afghanistan? Maybe for the WMD's, maybe for revenge for the 9/11 attack, maybe for the control of one of the world's largest sources of oil, maybe for all those reasons combined, or none at all.

The fact of the matter is, is that if we just sit around and let the bad guys/the wrong people crash planes, set bombs, etc. and attain power, especially NUCLEAR power, then we'd be fools. Nuf said.

Answer 4

have you ever heard of terrorist training camps retard thats whats going on in afganistan they where training alqaida(sorry for the spelling of that) the same ones that hit the towers and pentagon are you dumb, we have to wipe out the camps and get a government in place so that they dont rebuild those camps

and do you think cnn knows everyt5hing would the military really release if it found a small pox bomb the public panic that would take place no theyll keep it quiet because we dont need to know! ok your fat *** watching cnn dosnt need to know how many troops are dead you dont need to know, you knowing does no good

Answer 5

I just love it when people call it the "myth" of WMD.

How many Kurds should Saddam have gassed before you'd believe he actually had something lethal?

(You people just amaze me at how low you can set your standards for information!)
