Reply #5: As did Edwards (while being booed at a Democratic forum)

[LimpingLib]

I am beginning to wonder who will be worse on foreign policy.

If Edwards thought it was worthwhile to bomb Iraq over potential nukes then surely Iran will be an easy target.

WE learn nothing from the past. We forced the world through selective UN resolutions to sanction Iraq and thus killed off a million inocent civilians.

Now our ticket wants to try and get WORLD sanctions on Iran to destroy that country as well.

You dont see sanctions on China but infact see MFN/PNTR strongly supported by our ticket. Thanks to beefing up China's economy there ,I must admit(though its unlikly), is the possibility they could be a potential military threat sometime in the future.I dont like seeing any nation put "in a box" but to put sanctions on other economys and harm them while enocuraging businesses to go to a hum rights nightmare and HEAVY military building country (which has a history of tremendous agressivness too boot , unanwsered ugressivness which has swallowed whole countrys post UN) is just flat out twilightzone logic.

You dont see WMD based sanctions being threatened on Israel (which BTW is the only reason countrys ,aside from the threat the USA poses, in the region want WMDs , as a MAD defence against Israel )INFACT we will continue the post 1980 policy of issuing a veto time after time to revent any more resolutions that indict Israel. Not that it would matter , we select which resolutions we like and which we dont like.

Kerry has won this election. I STRONGLY suggest we start making our feelings know about us having no right whatsoever to go after Iran.

Iran WAS a democracy before we meddled. www.zmag.org/bouzidlat.htm

WE arent stopping WMD from being introduced into the region , WE introduced them by arming our allies in the past: Turkey , Iraq and allowing Israel to get nukes.

WE arent introducing democracy. I remember (reading) back in 1908 Iran had a budding democracy and did have one when we overthrew it in 1953. Pakistan had one till the "positive development" (Bush said that) of a coup overthrew it. Afghanistan had one in decades past.

Israel and Turkey are part of the region too,right? Granted they either expel 80% of their ethnic minoritys (Israel) or send in a US puppet military (Turkey) to overthrow the peoples will when canidates "too Islamic" win elections but they ARE "sort of" democracys based on the current definition and the only undemocratic elements are ones we encourage. Likewise for Lebanon , but it has undemocratic elements to gurantee western forces (in the form of Christians) get 50% of seats and power sharing.

The truth is that ALL undemocratic elements in the region are due to us supporting dictators and not wanting the people to get their will through majority vote in the region.Either through us not liking the religon of the majority or as in the case of Iran not liking their oil nationalism policys , we extinguish the flame of progress and democracy.
