What enormous percentage opebo?  Do we lock up people for being a certain race?  Or for being caught fighting as terrorists? Do we gas those people?  Or not?  Was Poland killing thousands of its people every year? Or does your comparison not hold water?

We lock people up for drug use, and other victimless crimes.  I believe about 1% of the population is locked up.  Of course a disproportionate number of those are of the subject race. 

What interest is it of ours whether Poland or Iraq are killing internally?  Not our business.  Besides, how do you know the Bush administration didn't just make that up?

So it's only ok to attack the President if troops are in harms way when it's a Democrat. Perfectly logical.


DING DING DING.  We have winner.

China is on it's way to becoming a superpower.  America as world Policeman? What is a World Policeman anyways?  Those Contries mentioned as "World Policeman and Sidekick" have and at one time or another have had Global strength and control that count as an empire (US isn't put in this position very often to make a lot of it's actions seem like they're "Protecting Democracy" as a cover to Imperialism. If China makes similar moves it's another imperialist country).  "Oppresive, dictatorship that kills its people" How contries could you say that about? Egypt? North Korea?

China is a dictatorship run by a select few that represses its people and is dangerous to its neighbors.  Germany was also.

The rest you lost me on.  I can't really follow your sentences or stream of thought.

Then there is the Libertarian alternative:
No US involvement in Serbia
No war in Iraq.
Savings to taxpayers $164 billion.
Saddam and Milosevic still in power- So what?

This is the problem with Libertarians
What did Saddam or Milosevic do to America?

BTW I forgot one additional benefit to the Libertarian alternative: 1500  US servicemen saved from death.

Iraq was no threat to anyone - it was like Poland.  The present day analogue to Germany in 1939 is obviously the United States.

The US isn't building concentration camps and murdering people opebo. 
 

No? What do you call Waco and Ruby Ridge?

Clinton - no American dies in NATO campaign - good
Bush - 1500 Americans die in Iraq - bad

No? What do you call Waco and Ruby Ridge?

Waco was done committed by a complete moron named Janet Reno, I'm definitely not going to defend that witch.  Ruby Ridge is clearly a step down a bad path, and the whole incident is a real shame.  Clearly, not the government's fault, but the individual agents fault.
