Exactly why it’s foolish for you and those like you to use money as a yardstick for success. Look at “Palestine”–how many billions have the EU and the US poured into that “country”–and to what result? Civil war?
——————————
Washington DC doesn’t like the outcome of their election so they have been meddling around and so has Israel. They go in and stir hornets nests everywhere and make a mess of everything. They give money and weapons to corrupted folks who will do their bidding and leave the others hang to dry. Where have they been mucking around latley…Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine….and they leave these places to disintegrate into chaos. I don’t know what they do, only the fact that everywhere they stick thier greasy hands they leave a mess behind. Why, in Lebanon the children are still being murdered by cluster bombs given by the US to the Israelis last July. If anyone wants to really know who is the bad guy just do the math of the dead. Here is one example. 26 Israelis dead last July, mostly soldiers to 1000 and still counting in Lebanon, mostly civilians.

The problem is, the alternative is much worse. We are truly in the position of choosing between bad and “Oh my G*d” awful.

No, they just hack the heads off, that sends the message better than talking.

Nobody complains when an aid group shows up with clean drinking water, mosquito nets and medicine, stumbley.

It’s the soldiers they object to.

Some people are totally wack. I’m telling ya. They are.

So since they can’t get the attention they need like the narcissist addicts that they are, they are reduced to talking amongst themselves about their injustice, ala Palestinian style.

They’re just not very good at what they do.

Not very good means bad. And bad means not good. And not good means… evil. Some of that cultural relativism is starting to rub off I see.

Good luck trying to post any anti-conservative views on a site such as this. I originally visited this blog to see if there really was any merit to a pro-bush view, or a conservative view at all.
My discoveries to this point have not impressed me–one cannot simply try to cover up (or otherwise disguise) the Iraq disaster with a reference to the bible.
My point, honestly, is not to start an argument–I am simply stating that the views expressed on this site have convinced me that there is no rational explanation for the Bush Administration’s mistakes.
P.S.: I personally do not believe anyone in the Bush Administration has an evil inclination. They’re just not very good at what they do.

I call that a serious blind spot.

“An article in the British Medical Journal, Volume 321 (15 July 2000) entitled “Deaths among humanitarian workers” Shiek, Mani et al. does provide research and statistics on the topic based on information voluntarily submitted by UN aid agencies, NGOs and UN peacekeeping organizations between the years 1985 and 1998. This study reported 375 deaths among civilian (UN and NGO) aid workers and UN peacekeepers during the fourteen year period.”

Absolutely Not!

Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope

Having the locals reasonably content and thanking the government is not accceptable.
Having the locals deprived and knowing the government isn’t up to the task of relieving them, and that the local thugs are quite up to the task of killing them if they complain is the desired end state of some of “them”.
Pardon me for telling you something you know but hope we didn’t.
