Lizbeth I hope to come to America next year,I do not hate Americans,but I just can't understand why America finds it so hard to do the easy things,like enforcing peace in the middleast,but will invade Iraq when every Tom,Dick,and Harriet told America that the Iraqi adventure would turn into a nightmare which it has.
Do you remember when Nelson Mandela was Imprison for"existing whilst black",do you remember the excuses that were given by the west as to why effective sanction were not imposed on the racist South African government of that time.What about the excuses that were given as to why more effective pressure was not applied to the racist government to get Nelson Mandela released.Today we have the west indulging in more lodge twang saying that the Palestinians and Jews should sort out their own affairs.That's just great,Israel today has some of the most advanced armaments in the world,the Palestinians basically have pea-shooters.Do you think that is a fair fight Lizbeth after the west has built up Israel's military over the last 40 years?
I have to say that none of the arguments you put forth about "it's not America's fault"don't make any sense to me.If American wants to convince the world that it means business and is a honest broker in the world,enforce a peace in the middleast,like America enforced a peace in the Balkans,simple.
