Re: [QUAD-L] A nice poem to the French

[DeLiMiTeD4]

If it is in a poem it must be true. Ali Baba and his butt bomb sure make me fighting mad.   We can't and do not go to war with nations because they have evil leaders. We have not declared war on the former country known as Burma. We sat and denounced Vietnam in the 70's for going into Cambodia to end the horror there. We propped up the Shah of Iran then can not understand why Iran thinks we are their enemy. We backed the Taliban until 9/11. We watched the genocide in Rwanda and today we blame the UN. We sat and criticized India for intervening in Pakistan's civil war where millions in Bangladesh we exterminated.    We have supported so many two bit dictators I'm surprised we have any friends. We actually send foreign aid to numbered Swiss bank accounts. There are some things seriously wrong in this world. I think we should help correct many of the worlds ills but not as military power. If we truly believe we should take the moral high ground then the first place we need to invade is Washington DC.   Jefferson said this nation needs a revolution every few generations. We are overdue.   john
