You're right.

WE took out Saddam Hussein. Now if the people of Iraq had taken him out, should we have backed him?

Seriously?

Think about your argument for a minute. You're telling people that the President should have invaded Egypt to back Mubarak, when the vast majority of Egyptians wanted him gone.

The United States shouldn't be involved in middle eastern politics, at all.

Understand it..like it or not...America is the world stablizer...do I like it..no.. but get it through your thick heads.
The world right now is probably the most its been screwed up in the last 30 yrs.

Obama is like a child in a Adults game!

and what is stability? espousing democratic (or in actuallity "republic" because we are a republic and not a true democracy...which is more akin to socialism) ideals while supporting dictators all stripes?


who are we to step in the way of a country that has been friendly to us when they go through social upheaval?

Yes America is the world stablizer, look what happened in Pakistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Palestine and supporting dictators in Latin America and Middle EAst.

What about sub saharan africa? In the Congo millions people died from the results of war there and that happened not so long ago. where was America response?

Then you just disproved your whole "class warfare" argument, which is solely based on a tax increase.

Mahalo.

Most people support choice.

Is your time machine back to 1950 ready yet?
[LEFT]“Any health care funding plan that is just equitable civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional.” - Donald Berwick[/LEFT]
I guess Obama's head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is a crackpot "honk" too, eh?

Second, calling tax breaks for the wealthy "wealth redistribution" is patently wrong. Raising taxes forcibly moves wealth from the payee to the government. Lowering taxes leaves wealth with the person or organization who earned in the first place. Therefore it is by definition not redistributional.

Sorry, but when you let someone keep their own money you aren't "redistributing wealth" to them.
