Leafless Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 What I am talking about is Canada's development as a country, which was basically solely developed at the hands of the U.S. Bu!!sh!t. Well, maybe you can tell us how Canada became the country it is today, by trading beads with the Indians ans selling fridges to the Eskimos. Canadians built Canada. Who we traded with doesn't change that. Americans have allowed Canadians to build Canada. Just think, Canada could possibly have ended up in a similar fashion to Alabama. Quote
gc1765 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Iraq was no threat to the US. If you want to make the case that Saddam was a human rights abuser, I'll side with you on this one, but saying the US installed a roughly democratic regime in Iraq to protect their security is silly. If the war was truly a humanitarian cause, they are being extremely inefficient with their resources. The war in Iraq has costed, what, about $400 billion so far (and perhaps more in the future). Considering that diseases like malaria & tuberculosis etc. kill MILLIONS each year, and are inexpensive to treat, that $400 billion could have saved MANY MILLIONS of people in Africa...and it wouldn't have cost hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives. Quote Almost three thousand people died needlessly and tragically at the World Trade Center on September 11; ten thousand Africans die needlessly and tragically every single day-and have died every single day since September 11-of AIDS, TB, and malaria. We need to keep September 11 in perspective, especially because the ten thousand daily deaths are preventable. - Jeffrey Sachs (from his book "The End of Poverty")
