Since conservatives like to spread democracy when will we invade Burma, China, Sudan or Cuba?

Question

oooops, but they don't have oil!?!?!?

Answer 1

the point is valid.

there are dictators all over the world, including saudi arabia, which has a repressive regime that represses women and christians.

but they aren't in the current bush admin script - disgraceful!

republicans had better stop the congress from overriding the bush vetoes or they will be systematically drummed out of our govt in 2008, 2012 and simply gone by 2016.

and dems had better beware that if they drag their feet, they won't be far behind.

americans are way out in front of the politicians on the war issue, if the dems and repubs don't catch up, someone else will take their place...

Answer 2

Well if it was all about the oil, it sure doesn't seem to be working to well for us. I'm paying through the nose for a gallon of gas. Now there's just no getting around the fact that Kuwait would have been screwed if their leading export was carrots. I'll give you that. But we weren't there alone either. I believe Iraq had more to do with fear and self preservation than oil. GW over estimated the threat that Saddam posed to our country, and underestimated how much the Iraqi people all seem to hate each other. China is just too big, bad, and nuclear capable to screw with. We're not biting that off any more than we were going to march into the former Soviet Union. There's only so much even we can do. As far as Cuba, and Korea goes....... we tried and failed. We gave up on Cuba in an agreement to remove USSR's nukes off the island. And we had to settle for just the Southern half of Korea. Which by the way owes the thriving democracy there to THOUSANDS of dead Americans and they don't export any oil. Neither does all of Europe, Japan, Tiawan, the Phillipenes, and many other places all over the world that built their freedoms on the blood of American GI's. We don't really expect the world to kiss our ***, or even bother to say thank you. But it would be nice if the rest of the world would get off or backs while my friends and tax dollars are being flushed down the drain trying to make the world a better place for all of the rest of you. God Bless America

Answer 3

We invade threatening countries not dangerous ones. China has too much money and is hosting the Olympic games. We would have to get through China to get to Burma. Castro is going to be dead soon in Cuba. Sudan will be dealt with by the United Nations. I don't think you have to waste time worrying about the Conservatives planning any of these invasions.

Answer 4

Ever consider that the conservative ideals of spreading democracy has been somewhat responsible for the fact that in 1970 only 25% of the world states were democratic - in 2006, that number was almost 65% of the states have an elective democracy.
And, surely, you don't believe the conservatives have invaded all of these countries?

Answer 5

It's grossly inaccurate to suggest that "conservatives" want to "spread democracy" around the world, for a couple of reasons.

First, the concept of spreading democracy is one that was started by Democratic liberals, such as Woodrow Wilson, and it is also true that Bush has quoted Wilson to that effect.

In addition, Bush is not a conservative. He is a neoconservative, and so are his advisers. Their position of "spreading democracy" is not a conservative position. There are many principled conservatives (such as Pat Buchanan) who strongly oppose what Bush is doing--and because they speak out and tell the truth, they are attacked by Bush's handlers (and media pundits like Sean Hannity).

The position of going abroad and seeking enemies to destroy, "spreading democracy", and the like is not a conservative position, and it diametrically opposed to the principles for which this country was founded.

Answer 6

china will wipe everyone off the map they they wont invade. burma or myamar now was a commonwealth but gb will never do anything as they dont want to been seen as invading a old empire country. leave that to the countires near it to do that. sudan the same thing . cuba castro will be dead soon and free. t

Answer 7

Don't twist words to make your hate of Bush sound better. The spreading of democracy in Iraq was done because the dictator leadership there at the time was seen as a threat to us and a more civilized democratic government would be beneficial to both their public and ours. If you disagree with it, fine, but let go of this "war for oil" stuff. That's so dumb

Answer 8

Wow, son you are smart! Perfect analysis. I am sure glad we still have your kind around. Other wise this country was in more trouble.

Keep ruling!

Best Regards.

Answer 9

I think we can spread democracy to Venezuela. Chavez needs a real spanking.

Answer 10

Okay, check it out. China has the ability to shut down the power grid to the whole U.S.. They can turn our lights off anytime they please without leaving their desk. You wanna attack someone with that sorta power?
