Democracy and Freedom

liberty,

Every human being, every group of people, and every country has a right to exist. (At the moment though, Israel is acting rather suicidal, as if it doesn�t want to live anymore).

I myself can not imagine anyone thinking that Israel doesn't have the right to exist.  God made all people so therefore you exist. In the Christian Bilble the Jews are God's chosen people. That's one perspective. I don't even think Jews like that responsibility pinned on them. That's the only reason the US is always there for them. I don't think Israel expected Hezbolah to be quite as tuff and as advanced as they are. Hezbolah has a lot more support today then they had 30 days ago for sure.

ou write: � they are receiving much moral support from the Arab (Muslim) world.

Yes, it is hard to not always look at things from an American perspective, but I think that if we look closer at ourselves, we�ll realize that we, the so-called Westerners, are not so very different from Arabs/Muslims. Let me give you some examples:

When the US decided to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, the moral support from other countries was overwhelming. Many went even further and provided troops, money and logistics. As it turns out, America never captured bin Laden, which was the reason for invading the country, and is now turning things over to NATO.

I don't think that capturing Bin Laden was the only reason that we invaded Afganistan.  There was a whole host of reasons.  We were having to back up and try to clean up the mess that we made when we walked off and left the (can't spell it) mujuhadin after arming them against the Russians.  Our policy failures and occupation in the middle east is why Bin Laden hates us so much. The Taliban is trying to regroup and is still very active in parts of Afghanistan.  If we had either done our job righ the first time and stuck with the people of Afghanistan and helped them rebuild their country they would not hate us. We left them to suffer. We use to be looked at very differently in that part of the world. Not our Christianity mind you but we were looked at as a more caring and supportive nation.

WMD were never found in Iraq, which was the reason for invading that country. And, although 60% of Americans do not support the �War in Iraq� anymore, the US continues to receive moral support from many other Western and non-Western countries.

Large scale killings and immoral acts toward innocent civilians  have occurred in both Afghanistan and Iraq, which outrage not only the Arab/Muslim world yet, many Western and non-Western countries are unwavering in their moral support for the US.

Before 9/11, while for decades European politicians, bankers, other public figures and innocent civilians were killed by national and foreign extremists, and innocent American citizens and soldiers died violent deaths in other countries, the US seemed oblivious. Then, immediately after 9/11 the US government demanded total support from every country in the world, �If you�re not with us, then you�re against us� and received it from many Western and non-Western countries.

I wish I knew where to get a list of the countries that actually supported us.  Some of them are little tiny countries you never knew existed, so to speak.  I wonder how much black mail we had to use to get even support from them. And that "if you're not with us you're against us went over like a fart in church. Sorry. Nothing like down home cowboy tactics and he's at it again calling the Muslims "Islamic Facisist".  He has absolutely no diplomacy or sensitivity.  Like I said "He's a moron".  All he does is inflame the Arab world.

Does Hezbollah receive moral support from all the Arab/Muslim world? I don�t know, but I�m sure there are many negotiations and talks going on �behind closed doors� to dissuade and counsel Hezbollah, just as there must have been when the US decided to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.

I would say that the Hezbollah probably receives plenty of moral support in the Arab/Muslim world.  Even though there are some moderate Arab countries that are democratic and love peace and prosperity above all else, they secretly hate us and think Bush is a moron as well.  Even Saudi Arabia is beginning to openly criticize us and the Bush administration for all of their ineptitude.  He has yet to be on time for anything. He will go down in history as being the worst president we ever had. He may even out do Jimmy Carter. I can't wait until the imbecile is out of office.  I just pray Jeb stays where he is. Can you imagine a president by the name of "Jeb"?  Mama Mia! I think this country has had enough of the "status quo".
