I agree with you completely on every point - I know the war was a sham, the Saddam/Al Quaeda connections were false, we didn't go to war for Saddam, there were no WMDs, Al Quaeda conducted 9/11, "promoting freedom" was a clever scape-goat in the face of treason, and that people are still dying from this crap-war. All this aside, it doesn't defuse anything I said, and I fail to see where my post was irrelevant. PaleGhost said "Saddam murder a few hundred of his countrymen, tortured and killed his own citizens for little or no reason, invaded his neighbors for what?" He killed and tortured more than a few hundred. It wasn't even a few thousand. Then he states that we should just bomb the whole f**king place. Absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't matter which of his two points was sarcastic, if at all any of them were - he's wrong regardless.

Ah yes, the whole argument that it WILL happen eventually. Must be convenient to have to proof for your argument reliant on some unknown future date.

The interests of almost any given nation seem to outweigh the ones of the people, who have already expressed condemnation. "We must react", said the president of Finland (among others), while the EU had it's head in the sand next to the UN.

Just tell dub-ya Bush that there is oil in Burma and that his companies will make millions if he invades the country. Then I am sure he would take action.

Comparing the Burmese situation to that of Iraq is akin to apples and oranges. It is merely a distraction to the very real issues at hand. How is the Burma situation comparable to Iraq? Because one has a dictator and the other a military oligarchy? or perhaps because the both killed civilians? How many governments in the world have killed their citizens at some point? I would venture to say about all of them. Perhaps this is a distraction because of the mentioning of the UN? Is this a debate on the UN, the role of intervention? No. It is about the tragedy of the Burmese and Burmese monks. It is about countries not doing anything. Its about countries refusing to cut aid, kick Burma out of the UN, imposing sanctions on their oil companies working there, the US selling arms to Burma, and allowing this fascist regime to get away with crimes against humanity. Leaders express outrage and do nothing. Hypocracy abounds and money rules the roost.
