I stand by the Crusader comment (Sorry, Sherman). Not in action, but in Idea. They came over here not to rape or pillage (although, admittedly, it was an effect of thier Crusade), but to take the land back, ultimately to "westernize" the region with thier own people. We're here to "Westernize" the region, in order to create a more stable environment.

When you have a child misbehaving then the parent needs to punish it and correct it. A loving parent doesn't let the child continue to be obnoxious because he/she doesn't want the child to get in trouble later in life. The parent knows best whether the child thinks so or not. When we have middle eastern countries out massacring ideologies that don't follow their's that is harmful to them whether they see it immediately or not. Who is going to puhish them? The UN would prefer to be the Freud type parent that says you'll hurt its self esteem if you tell them they are worng. The US and its allies are the only ones stepping up to correct all the countries that aren't being made to answer for its irresponsibilities. The US and allies know whats best because they are living whats best. Why is it that US and allies are the wealthiest and most free nations on the planet? It's not because we are anything like the middle eastern countries that's for sure. Someone must step up. We did. But now we have punished the misbehaving country and are sending people in to rebuild which needs to be done but when we start collecting oil isn't that like selling the child's toys? I am not comfortable with profiting off this war. We have spanked the child and in the process of correcting it but do we need to go behind the childs back and exploit his goods?

Personally, I don't believe it has any bearing on the situation whatsoever, unless the "children" are Hansel and Gretel and we are "spanking" the wicked witch that eats children, and then to help the "children" get back on their feet and actually have an economy to support themselves with, we buy parts of the gingerbread house from them.
For clarification in case anyone needs any: Children=Iraqis Witch=Saddam & Co. Gingerbread House=Iraqi oil reserves |
