It's his modus operandi. Never met a problem he didn't think could be solved by endless diplomacy.

Back in 1980 Liberia was a wealthy (for that region) and peaceful (again, for that region) country, a democracy launched on its way by the American Colonization Society, which consisted of Americans. But we can't have that, can we? So there was a rebellion.

Yes, we really should clean up sub-Saharan Africa. Lord knows the UN, France and the old Soviet Union didn't do too well with the region. It was a mess when they found it, so they made it a worse mess, even messing up the parts that weren't so much of a mess. And the UN and France are still screwing it up.

So much unfinished business. But hey, I never voted for the guys who left it unfinished. I never voted for Dubya either, but I'll catch him next time around.

So, Mr. Whysall, you gonna berate us Yanks for not having done anything about this now, so you can whine and complain about a "clusterfuck" as soon as we go in in force? We all know how you love to have it both ways.

As I recall, that was on Clinton's watch. And in conjunction with the UN.

Neither of these are going to be in the way in the future. And when they're not in the way, we most certainly [link|http://worldwar2history.info/|clean up other people's messes].

I'm sorry your blind unreasoning hatred of America has made you so bitter. I hope you get over it soon, for your own happiness and mental health.

Meanwhile, we're going to keep knocking out the murderous thugocrats of the world, one at a time. If Dubya gets a second term, or if we finally blow off the UN for good, we may just get around to all of them. Wouldn't that be nice?

I said, wouldn't that be nice?

By the way, about those one thousand French troops in the Congo. It seems [link|http://www.themilitant.com/2003/6720/672021.html|there's no pleasing some people]. Wow. It's not every day you hear someone arguing that a thousand troops is too many. But predictably, they manage to blame the US for it all somehow. Friends of yours, perhaps? Anti-Americanism indeed transcends logic, or even ideological consistency.

Anyone can say "we never liked X anyway" after he's deposed. They do it often enough with X==Saddam around here. [link|http://www.judicialwatch.org/help.shtml|Come lend a hand when it matters.]

One of these days (this year!) I'm gonna set up my own anti-Ashcroft page, if he doesn't get booted first. But I've got [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=107288|some stuff to sort out first].
