7.) that may be true, but most african nations are not in a position to become a threat to us. let the US intellegence get wind of the THREAT of wmod's in an African country, and that they hate America, and see how fast we go in there.
short followup:

1) not so much that i'm convinced he hates minorities by any means, the main point i'm trying to get across is that he doesn't make the extra effort to show he cares. don't want to bring up statistics and whatnot but if you do a little research to see how many ppl clinton has lifted out of "poverty" (by some official definition based on income/family/yr i believe) compared with how many reagan and both bush's have, you'll notice a significant difference.

7) i believe before in your initial post you had also mentioned helping the ppl out in iraq and removing the tyranny that had seized the country. well if you want to base the war soley off of threat to the US, then that's A'ok by me. however, like many others out there finding reasons to justify what's going on over there, if you want to bring up tyranny, chaos and the suffering of the ppl, please don't because there are many countries worse off.

edit: +1 to you as well for making some educated and civilized posts here.
