d) we are giving support to alot of countries right now and we can only do so much at a time. especially when we're in the middle of a war.

*Rolls eyes heavenward*

No comment is needed for ridiculous ideas that don't make sense and are totally irrevelant. However, I never mentioned ANYTHING about bitching and moaning bout war. I'm all for war, if it's for the right purpose. My POINT was that the war in Iraq shoulda happened a lot earlier than it did, and the reason it didn't was because the government got their panies ina wad when Saddam threatened our oil lines. In other words, the entire proclamation for "Iraqi Freedom" is a buncha horsedung, seeing as how if our politicians had brains they woulda sent in troops long before they did.

And notice I did not, I repeat did NOT say we should help Africa right now. In case you didn't read my other post, America is in a huge crapload of debt, so we can barely support our own asses let alone help Africa in the way I'd like us too. I'd also like to remind you that this thread is for Critical Thinking, not random rantings on things you dont understand.
