Nuke, I spend some time as a Lt in the French Air Force Intel. I wished I could give you some sweet example of my country, or USA involvement in some areas of the globe. Gime a bunch of example where you are not Cherry picking? Don't tell em you are a "soccer mom", I'll not believe it:D

Frenchy are you an idiot?

The US has been supporting Liberia in many ways since it was founded and will likely continue doing so indefinitely. What would you have us do Curval? Take away their right to govern themselves? They are and have been a sovereign nation for almost 200 years now.

I probably am Nuke, nevertheless please let me know were they were stationed so next time I don't look like a fool. At the time, I was runing around in the forest and I didn't had any chance to cross path with Americans, I sure saw most of all other Nato's countries.

So please stop insulting me, and gime a location so i don't qualify as an idiot anymore.

Hey Swoop, where's the UK?

=The United States has also had some international support for its efforts in Somalia as "German, French, [and] American planes and ships have significantly increased surveillance of the 1,900-mile-long [3040-kilometer long] Somali coast and Somali airspace, with the goal of preventing al-Qaeda members from entering Somalia from Afghanistan," said Shinn.=

I hope some of this helps Frenchy. You are indeed an idiot if you claim that no American troops were in Bosnia.

If those links dont help, feel free to look uo the infornation yourself.

What does 200 years of soverignty have to do with anything? Iraq's been a soverign nation for thousands of years and that soverignty was violated, and for good reason.

Go in, take out Taylor and establish a government that the people aren't afraid to disagree with, visa vis Iraq.

I suspect the support that the US provided has not had the desired effect. It is the kind of support that has been nothing but trouble for the US for decades. That seems fairly self evident when rebels are firing artillery from positions so close to the capital city and are chased out every few months.

What does Iraq have to do with Liberia?

You have hidden motives in your first post?

AKIron · « **Reply #38 on:** June 28, 2003, 03:58:09 PM »

Curval, you're obviously angry at the US. Consider the difference between the US involvement in Iraq and Liberia. Iraq invaded it's neighbor, another sovereign nation. They surrendered when the going got tough and agreed to all our terms but abided by none. Iraq also attempted the assasination of a US president. We gave them 12 years to live up to their agreement, how much longer should we have given them?

On the other hand, hundreds of millions, probably billions in aid have been given to Liberia. You think that money grows on trees? Hell no, it's out of the pockets of hard working US citizens. So, stop with the self righteous bull**** already, or not and I'll simply ignore you like so many other deluded self righteous US haters.

Curval, crack open a History book before you make a bigger fool of yourself. The nation of Iraq was formed in 1920 by the League of Nations. By my math thats 83 years.

Curval · « **Reply #40 on:** June 28, 2003, 05:37:49 PM »

Whatever guys...you're right I don't know the intricate details of Iraq's past...but even 83 years of being a sovereign nation still makes the last war a violation of that sovereignty. Here you are suggesting that the US shouldn't get involved in Liberia because it should not violate another nations sovereignty.

THAT is foolish.

I'm not angry at the US. Stop being so paranoid.

And..as far as the billions in aid that is heading to Liberia, don't you think that is a very bad allocation of US funds? Are you blind? Stop giving the tyrant money. It will cost less to go and deal with it properly. They are killing each other now...what the heck is the money being spent on?

Curval, come back and post when you understand the situation in Monrovia.

Your indirect implication that the US is somehow the bad guy because weve been asked to "help" is really misguided.

The fighting that has been occuring since Tuesday could have been avoided if the Pres. stepped down as demanded by the rebel troops. Problem is - he knows he will be given to the UN for war crimes if taken alive.

Troll elsewhere.

Not really. Iraq was created by the British.
