Jack Weber Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 Once you educate yourself on the right-wing dictatorships, as well as the "heroic" Contras (a terrorist militia), you should come back for more discussion. Simply examining reactionary sources, who selectively focus on the few bad lefty governments in Latin America and ignore the far more numerous right-wing ones that received such willing and murderous support from the freedom-loving democracies...well, that's going to leave certain important gaps in your knowledge. Here's a little asssistance... Let's play cards! http://friendlydictators.blogspot.com/ Latin America?? Well represented... Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
Guest American Woman Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 there is a good chance you will avoid responding to this. Why would I avoid responding to it? I've never said anything about Reagan - I posted the link to the photo of Trudeau shaking hands with Mao in response to the post about the photo of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam - which you are completely avoiding while going on and on about Reagan instead. You're also going on and on about how unless there is "direct involvement" the relationship is somehow harmless. So how about addressing the examples I gave? How about addressing Canada's involvement? There's a good chance you will avoid doing that. Yet again. trudeau's hand shake with mao is i'm sure as outrageous to you as:nixon shaking mao's hand and reagan ready to embrace and dance with the saudi king, in 1981 and reagan walking hand in hand with philipino dictator, marcos and reagan shaking hands with the dictator, mobutu and reagan and another good buddy, montt, the guatemalan mass murderer and reagan with another terrorist. this time with savimbi, the poster child of human rights abusers from angola and it keeps going. As so you keep going. About something entirely different than the issues that were presented in this thread. This thread is about Iraq. look at the photos above with reagan and company and you tell me what the hand shakes mean.now talk to me about reagan's friendly relationship with dictators and terrorists and his direct involvement in human rights abuses. No thank you. I'd rather remain on topic. Would be nice if you could do the same, but your going off on an entirely different tangent, as you avoid the actual comments I've made and questions I've raised and other points that have been made regarding the topic tells me all I need to know. Not that I didn't already know ............... Quote
eyeball Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 Again. You think "shaking his hand" = "no part?" What do you think shaking his hand signifies? You think if you stand by and watch a rape while "not being directly involved," ie: doing nothing to stop it, and then shake the rapist's hand, you had no part in supporting his behavior? In emboldening him? I feel the same way when I see Canadian prime ministers shaking hands with US presidents. Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal

Not that I didn't already know ............... you're right, you didn't make any comments about reagan. it was dancer. you brought yourself into the middle of my talking down to dancer who called reagan a hero who not only shook hands and cuddled with several dictators and terrorist around the world, but he also took direct part in the atrocities by funding, supplying and training them. so dancer? lets talk about your hero.

Ummmm. No. YOU brought me into it with your reference to the photo of Trudeau and Mao, which I had posted a link to. Dancer hadn't even posted in the thread yet. And of course you did avoid responding to the issues that were raised. Just as I had suspected you would. Quote

Oleg Bach Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 They have to stay - There investment in the area is huge - Americans will not leave until they turn a profit - also - their interferance in the area has cause Iraq to step back in time by 60 years - Infrastructure is severly damaged and needs repair...The social fabric is torn and will take a few generations to normalize and stablize. Most importanly America is like a jealous vulture - It will not stand for some other interlopers comming in to feed if they leave. Quote
bud Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) US is fucked. bush shouldn't have listened to israel and shouldn't have invaded iraq. he should have listened to his daddy. they were better off with saddam there. not only are there more people dying in iraq (which really isn't an issue), but the current shia government is iran-friendly. not to mention that there is a very powerful man, with a strong following, and backed by iran, sitting and waiting for his opportunity; muqtada al-sadr.

But you should favor this, seeing as how you hate Israel so much. The enemy of your enemy is your friend! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

"My country" was "f****d" up long before that...and that's why you are in Canada watching the show from the sidelines. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
