Comments on: Time Magazine: Forget Iran … Invade Burma! https://pat-dollard.com/2008/05/forget-iran-invade-burma/ The latest in policital news and the war in Iraq Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:43:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dan (The Infidel) https://pat-dollard.com/2008/05/forget-iran-invade-burma/#comment-158137 Dan (The Infidel) Sat, 10 May 2008 23:36:29 +0000 https://pat-dollard.com/2008/05/forget-iran-invade-burma/#comment-158137 This was all the talk on the radio last week. So what are we going to do? Stand idly by and let thousnds of people perish or bust in and make the junta do our and the UN's bidding? People have the same question regarding Darfur. What are we doing about it? Nothing... And Somalia? We gave Somalia a chance. They blew it. What's the difference here? If the junta in Burma wants to stop aid from comming to their people, then WTF can we do about it? Invade and make the junta go away? Not likely. You want to fight a running battle while C-130's do touch and goes to get in supplies and aid? Then what happens to said aid when we leave? Its a complicated question.

Invade and make the junta go away? Not likely.

You want to fight a running battle while C-130’s do touch and goes to get in supplies and aid? Then what happens to said aid when we leave?

Its a complicated question.

Response: Be called the "world's bully" for thinking we have the right to impose our values and systems on others. Option 2: Send aid. The aid is confiscated and sold on the black market to support the shitbag gov't. Happens every day. Option 3: Do nothing like with Darfur. Get critised by the same assholes from response #1. I'd vote for #1 except for one reason. There are so many places that we should invade-to-save it would become our new career in life. We'd get shit on by the rest of the cowardly planet and only the history books would acknowledge our generosity of spirit. Just as with Iraq.

They send us into humanitarian style missions like Haiti and Somalia in half assed fashion where backward countries don't want our help. They send us into the middle of a civil war like in Bosnia/Kosovo, siding with the muslim minority. Those civil wars needed to happen to restore a balance to the region after Tito's meddling...but they were cut short by our influence and will now be allowed to fester below the surface for future generations to solve. They supposedly have the moral fortitude to stand up and proudly say that we need to inject ourselves into the Darfur civil war situation. Now we have to do our righteous duty and invade Burma to stop their government from killing off a good portion of their own people, be they protesting Monks or cyclone victims. ...But defend America from a whacked out religious cult like the Taliban that harbored leaders that attacked American interests overseas? Nah...not until they attack us at home first. (the left did get upset when the Taliban blew up the budda statues tho, might have gotten their permission to take em down to save those statues!) Defend America from a brutal tyrant that invaded its neighbors and threatened america and its allies through statements and by supplying known terrorist groups with money and safehaven?? Nah, wouldn't want to do that either. Yea, the left pisses me off.

Cause and effect of BDS = Damned if we do, damned if we don't. Send the elder Carter to Burma for a little home construction and "dialogue". Maybe we would get lucky and he would piss the Burmese government off as much as he pisses off his own. At the least it would keep Jimmuh from sticking his nose in Israel's biz for awhile.
