what's the difference between China in Vietnam creating a Communist gov. and U.S. in Iraq forcing Capitalism

Question

it seems to me like the only difference is perspective?

Answer 1

How are we forcing Capitalism. I think all that we want for the country is a Stable government.

Even China has embraced Capitalism to a certain degree...

Answer 2

You will never get anybody in the US government to admit that the US is forcing Capitalism on the Iraqis.

They will tell you that what the Iraqis want is Democracy when all the Iraqis want is to help the other Arab nations soak the stupid Americans for every penny they can talk the Bush administration into giving them.

The civilians, if there are any left, don't want us there. The government wants our money there but not us.

Dubya is giving away this country with a smile on his face.
His father could only win one election and he had to cheat with voter fraud to be president. His brother Jeb was Governor of Florida at the time but the loser lost the election the first time he ran.
His father was such a loser he had to shoot JFKennedy in order to turn things his way. JFK was going to shut down George Bush's CIA job.
George Bush was and still is being very successfully using the CIA as his private covert operations agency. Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, John Lennon. He missed Castro.

Answer 3

Are you joking?

Communism is nothing more than slavery. You have the top party bosses living like kings while the rest of the country toils away in miserable little jobs to support them. There are no real freedoms. You are not allowed to travel without impossible to get permissions, everthing is monitored, you have no chance of ever having a life comparable to Western standards, and any dissent is very, very harshly dealt with.

We are giving Iraq Democracy, not necessarily capitalism. Democracy is the best form of government ever devised by mankind. Have you stopped to consider that no two democracies have ever gone to war against one another? Think hard. Name one instance! (You might try citing the Faulklands war, but Argentina was under a dictator then).

Besides, the Iraqis drafted their own constitution. They wrote every one of their own laws. They are free to enact whatever legislation they desire. One of the provisions they included was deference to Islamic law, which we certainly didn't like or approve of, but we kept our word to let them form whatever type of democratic government they wished. As long as each adult citizen had a right to vote, and the governmental form was democracy, in whatever form they drafted, that was the Iraqis' choice.

I have heard some people say, "You can't force democracy on people". That is like someone in the 1800's advocating a continuation of slavery, saying "You can't force democracy on the ***** slaves!"

Answer 4

In my humble opinion, history will see it one way, I see it differently.

Capitalism looks for skirmishes like these to flourish.

There is always a conflict going on.

By now the people should be pretty much fed up, but from the looks of things, this trend continues.

Answer 5

Capitalism is the economic equipment the place agencies are waiting to compete as a potential of production and gain this as to realize income and basically income. while, socialism is the economic equipment the place the state, government, social enterprise, or the human beings administration or own the potential for production, to no longer gain income, yet to proportion in each and all the money or materials while working mutually. i do no longer think of it particularly is honest to signify socialism as needed selection and capitalism as loose selection considering that capitalism's turn away is that it is been accepted to have decrease classes caught in poverty mutually as middle type human beings circulate around and purchase this and that. yet you do make area of asserting socialism do no longer make lots wages yet that's the effect of greed.

Answer 6

We're not forcing capitalism. The Iraqis are free to change to a new economic system any time they want. We gave them democracy, which isn't forced on anyone, by definition. We did a horrible job of it, but it's hardly like communism.

Answer 7

Capitalism works; communism doesn't. Not quite end of story; Iraq was and is a capitalist economy, and the US invasion has had nothing to do with that.

Answer 8

perspective is absolutely right. capitalism is "right" and communism is "wrong" so therefore, what we are doing in iraq is ok, and what china did in vietnam was wrong. its kind of hypocritical, but we live in a hypocritical world. example: that man killed 2 people, lets give him the death penalty.

Answer 9

Right on buddy! just a different perspective but the same violence

Answer 10

Communism BAD .
Capitalism GOOD !
