I am so sick of hearing about the stupid Iraq extra troops and how much money paranoid countries are needlessly spending on arms. They SHOULD be helping f-d up countries like Zimbabwe and Sudan. But i am guessing that wouldn't make them any money now would it? I am sure if the USA wanted to topple the old biddie Mugabe they could. Your views....?

OK so why did USA and UK help and fund Mr. Hussein for 20 something years? Yes it's true you need to finish the job in Iraq. BUT their presence there doesn't seem to be putting off suicide bombing on a regular basis, does it? I am no expert, i admit i don't know 100% details, but who does?

The U.S. helped Iraq get rid of its despot and look at the thanks it got. Saddam was just as bad as the tyrants in Sudan or Zimbabwe yet when things didn't go well there, we want to cut and run. I'm all for helping but you have to have the will to finish what you start even if it gets difficult. Don't try to make Iraq about the oil money. The U.S will spend billions more in Iraq than they will ever see in oil revenues.

How can you be against the Iraq invasion and favor intervention in Darfur? Prior to the US invasion Iraq, Iraq was killing its citizens. And we removed the government. Now they (the Iraqis) have to build a new government. This is a long expensive dangerous process anywhere! If you goad the US into intervention in Sudan/Zimbabwe (both noble pursuits) expect a "Long Hard Slog" That was what Rumsfeld said about Iraq before we went in there.

And if the US did, don't you think people like Jesse Jackson would be screaming from the rooftops about racism, that the US is just trying to get the slave trade going again?
Mugabe was born out of the overthrow of "white oppression" so he's still viewed as a hero by too many in Africa who don't see what a thug he's become. The US tried cleaning up a mess in Africa in Somalia and got nothing for it. Africa needs to start cleaning up its own messes.

We enable them to run their very own u . s . a . and that's who they voted for. initially, they voted for a bishop called something like Muzaraewa, if I bear in mind, then Mugabe replaced into allowed to face in yet another election ( he replaced into banned from the 1st because of the fact he replaced right into a terrorist) and gained. this is humorous that Mugabe blames Britain for each thing as quickly as we've basically left them on my very own to run their very own affairs. If we've a accountability, it fairly is as area of the international community. If Zimbabwe had had any oil, Mugabe could be ineffective by employing now.

It's about time the good People of Sudan stand up and fight back like those in South Africa fought the Apartheid and won! None can help a nation if its people don't fight back themselves.

Anyone who tries to help is a Cons, Warmonger, Meddler, Murderer etc....Ask any of the liberals if it is ever OK to try to help another nation if military force may be involved.
