Rampant:Our government is all about liberation, and its dedicated to the middle east. However they seem to forget africa.the u.s. government is not about liberation. that's just the rhetoric they use to pacify the populace. if they truly cared about liberation and spreading freedom and democracy they'd be active in sudan, in haiti, they'd put economic sanctions on china and russia...etc. they support saudi arabia aka the homeland of 15 of 19 9/11 hijackers, an atrocious human rights record, they do the beheadings in the streets...etc. the u.s. govt simply isn't about liberation. especially not the bush administration.
I dont usually agree with you....Our government is all about liberation, and its dedicated to the middle east. However they seem to forget africa.

However they seem to forget africa.Why don't the good ol' Euros step in and do something? How about the mighty UN??? Where are the other African nations at?I think all countries are guilty, not just America.
Yes, but America is the only country that shouts so loudly about spreading freedom and liberty around the world. Or maybe that is just the republican half of America that needed a lifeline when we found no WMD in Iraq. Let's be real, GWB doesn't care about liberty and freedom, your side needed and excuse after it fucked up in Iraq and you fell for it.

Let's be real, GWB doesn't care about liberty and freedom, your side needed and excuse after it fucked up in Iraq and you fell for it. The reason we invaded Iraq was because of our security as Americans first and foremost. Every intelligence agency in the world believes that Saddam Hussein had illegal weapons of mass destruction. The question is not if he did but where they are now. Second, we as Americans and the world as a whole wil be safer if democracy can take root in Iraq. If it can start a domino effect in which democracy and freedom slowly spread throughout the Middle East, that will do a large part in adressing the root causes of terrorism. That is what it is all about now...defeating the terror and preventing another 9/11.The reason people mention freedom and liberty so much is because you left wingers become so angry at what is happening, as if removing someone like Saddam Hussein and instituting democracy is such a bad thing. But no one is syaing that the US should overthrow every bad government in the world. It was just important in this case because if we are successful in Iraq it may hopefully lead to a safer world for all of us in the future. And if you don't think we are at a very important time in world history then you are insane. Defeating islamic terrorists this century will be just as important as defeating he evils of Naziism and communism were last century. Get a clue you idiot.
Will the UN allow America to do anything about it?
