Part--I've donated close to $250 or $300 to charities since I got my job 2 years ago, which I think is a pretty fuggin' good amount for someone my age.

But yet they want Bush to send troops into Sudan, a place we have no business being in in the first place.

I mean good grief Pat and others get pissed off when the US intervenes in the affairs of other nations But when the Bush administration doesn't intervene They still get pissed.


Like someone already stated What about the UN? Come pat I can remember in another thread you saying the world needs the UN, why aren't you jumping on their case since it's rather obvious they aren't doing anything to stop what's happening in Sudan right now.


Oh yeah I forgot your just using this to basically bash Bush, which happens to be a favorite thing for you to do.
Where Pat Stands on the Iraq War:
I put it in bold so that even DC and FS can possibly understand it. When we first learned of Saddam Hussein and Iraq, Bush and his administration told us about the WMDs they were producing. Next, the main reason we entered Iraq was to get Saddam out and get these WMDs. We got Saddam out, but there were no WMDs. After this, Bush and his administration focused on the genocide Saddam did. The genocide was probably the 2nd priority after the WMD issue. Let's put it this way. If there was no intelligence saying Iraq had WMDS, than we wouldn't be there. That's my problem with the Iraq War. I am truly honored to say that we're freeing the people over there. I am just ashamed that we had to lie to go in. Why didn't we just say we wanted to go in there to end genocide?

The UN: The UN has been involved in Sudan since the genocide started! They even got a peace treaty signed, but so far it is failing. As you UN haters say, the UN needs the US, so without the US, it's difficult.

'Bashing' Bush: I wouldn't call it bashing. I'd call it criticizing. He is ignoring Sudan, is in strong favor of the Cuban embargo, and favors immigration. I cannot think of one stance where I agree with him and it makes me feel even better to know that 55 million other Americans feel the same way. Bush might have the majority in America, but I sure as hell doesn't have the majority of the world. -Pat
