Earlier this decade a lot of conservatives were saying that even though Saddam Hussein did not have WMD it was good thing we took him out because the Iraqi people were suffering under him. Well, what I want to know why in the world is Bush not sending hundreds of thousands of troops into Myanmar to take out the Generals there and bring relief to the people who are suffering from the cyclone and their authoritarian rule? Seems like if that argument is going to valid for Iraq then it should be applied in all instances where citizens are suffering.

I agree with you completely… and what about Zimbabwe, Ethiopia or Israel? Seems our government likes to choose battles that aren’t guaranteed to cause economic trouble (but failed miserably with this one); or that have a high-profile “rescuer” image attached. Not many people seem to care about displaced people in non-oil-rich, poverty-stricken places.
