Conservative philosophy: Police Actions

 

Police actions are meant to stunt the effect of inhumane acts occurring throughout the world. The argument is that we are the strongest nation and we have a burden to bear. We must be the ones to do it, because who else can?

 

The other argument is basically isolationism where nations are sovereign and we have no right to meddle.

 

I am a liberal, but I take the conservative side here. I believe it IS our job. I just bet that the Jews on the St. Louis wish more people felt like this in 1939.

 

President Bush lied to us in his campaign. He said that we were not nation builders. This is a platform lie. Conservatives are not nation builders. This was good for votes, but he lied.

 

Iraq is not about oil, Democracy, or Global Capitalism. Iraq is a longtime program that presidents for many administrations have had to weigh. President Bush decided to be the “Decider” and finish what has been a program of ours for about 30 years. Even President Clinton furthered this program. Iraq, we have come.

 

We now are building a democracy. How much does our cost us? And we want them to do it with no water or power? No, we are gonna pay for this, lock stock and barrel. We provide welfare, and medicare, and other services for them that we do not even provide here. This is Bull Stuffy! I do not want my nation to shoot someone and then fix them. We are not nation builders.

 

Darfur. This screams for police action. I was watching the Senate run this one over. The Democrats are saying they want to do something, but we have no power to now. Our military is taxed, overburdened, and can not begin another front successfully. Darfur would take about… ohhh. I don’t know, maybe in the verbiage of a true conservative, “A Hundred Hours.”

 

Darfur is calling for our help. Iraq is no threat. If they get nukes Israel has proven effective at stopping nations before. They stopped Iraq, and they just stopped Syria. Besides what were they gonna do? Fed Ex the bomb over here? N. Korea can hardly work out a delivery system, Iraq damn sure can’t under sanctions.

 

Darfur is conservative. Iraq is Neoconservative.
