[QUOTE="Savant, post: 162152, member: 546108"] Hey LWW.. While I agree that for the most part the US goes into 'war' and kicks ***, then tries to 'rebuild' or at least help the defeated in some manner.. As for dropping food on the citizens while we fight the military, some of that is propaganda (perpetrated on the forgein population).. Here are some links that Gauntlet posted in a different thread.. Know what else the US gave to Iraq during the Gulf War? Poisoned land that is causing un-godly and uthinkable travesties to the Iraqi people.. The US knows this stuff is terrible. They know it can cause serious problems. Even some of our own troops are having to deal with this.. Not to mention the exposure to Chemical Agents that the US refused to admit until there were enough troops showing symtoms, then they finally admitted they knew about it.. As you noted, abscense of war and fear constitute peace.. but dropping bombs and marching through the streets of Iraq isn't gonna do a lot toward removing the fear part. We are 'afraid' he has weapons.. so we get NATO to agree that we need to escilate the inspections and let us go EVERYWHERE.. have a group of soldiers from SEVERAL countries go with the inspectors..
