“…a little genocide is a small price to pay for keeping our military home and bored, and our coffers full for socialist pipe-dreams — right?”
The American Left in a nutshell. Bravo, Winefred.
“We can’t even fix ghettos in this country, you think Iraqis are going to fair [sic] better?”
tg, do you want to know why we can’t fix ghettos in this country? Because of men like FDR and LBJ. Men who decided that the way to fix ghettos was to throw money at them. The New Deal was put in place sixty years ago and The Great Society forty. Have they done a Goddamned thing? Apparently not, since you’re running around on a blog about Iraq complaining about ghettos and don’t even know the difference between “fair” and “fare” (Trillions to the Department of Education, and this is what we get).
In Iraq, we’re unencumbered by decades of soft socialism. We’re using American money to put Iraqis back to work. Nobody gets paid to sit at home watching Al-Oprah’s book club (Mein Kampf for the sixth straight week!). We’re training professionals; rebuilding factories and infrastructure; renovating schools and distributing supplies (including computers) to them; opening markets, promoting agriculture; getting oil to market.
If there’s anything you should complain about, it’s why we’re continuing to try to solve our own problems with a shovel and a wheelbarrow of money instead of using that money to create real opportunities for people to get themselves out of ghettos.
