[QUOTE]Originally posted by futuresobjective: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [b]lick my wounds huh? seems to me that the point is MADE..... how are the women in Afghanistan going to vote??? i don't know YET, but what i hear is that they are asking their family leaders who they must vote for..... maybe a miracle will happen in the ballot booth...or do they have booths? do they get privacy when they vote??? anybody know??? i don't..... the views that i have represented above.... about governing iraq being a nightmare? those SAME views were expressed by George H W Bush in his book years before his son took office...they aren't exclusively my PERSONAL views...... i don't hear any response the question of whether or not Bush could have gained authority to invade Iraq to depose Saddam based on what we know today...except from Bush HIMSELF.....and i do not agree that it would still have been right.....[/b][/QUOTE] :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: How many years was it before women could vote in American? How many years before black men could vote in America? This is their first election, and I think 40% of the voters are women. Our countries first elections were not at any better than these might be. However the fact is that they are voting. People who try to make the point you just made vex me. You seem to want things without doing the work invloved to get them. Things are hard and are tough, that is the point. That being said thinkgs in afganistain and Iraq are going very well (looking at the larger picture and realizing that there is work to be done and it will not be easy) As far as Bush having authority to go into Iraq. He did have the authority. The last sanction placed by the un stated that there would be grave consequences (wording might not be exact) if here did not cooperate. Guess what... He did not cooperate. Still President Bush went to the un, pushed for them to go into the country... and they did. They did this because Bush pushed for it. Then the time came to make a decision. The president pushed for the UN to get involved, so the world as a whole would do what they said they would. Guess what? Some of them did not want to do what they agreed they would do shortly before. You sound like if the kid who gets his lunch money taken everyday, and wont do anything about it. Instead he just gives up the money before even being pressed for it. There was a threat, the un agreed to do something about it, and then backed off. Why? Certain countries did not want to risk the loss of troops and more importantly they did not want to invest money in a country other than their own. Shortsightedness in my opinion. The bottom line is By our President doing what he did, with the help of the english, and about 30-40 other countries, he validified the un as an actual force rather than just a meeting of countries that will not take any action unless it is immediately self serving. If the un wont back up what it says it will do... what is the point? President Bush took control (as a good leader should) and backed up those words. This is why America is a nation that leads others instead of being a follower. We are a world power (the world power in my opinion) and should act accordingly. People fail to see the facts. The un said it would do something and failed to do so, because of the veto power of france and germany. (Two contries by the way who were making money of of that sadistic leader) We once again took charge, (as America can only be counted on to do so) and did what was universaly agreed had to be done!
