Reply #50: Do You Support The Talibanization Of Iraq? [View All]

[DrFunkenstein]

There is a difference between supporting a pro-America government and a stable government that respects minority rights. We may disagree here - assuming you are being sincere, rather than spiteful - on whether or not Iraq should be left to it's own devices without the proper political infrastructure and stability.

If you want a metaphor to chew on, think about the looting of Baghdad. That was the effect of laissez-faire. Kerry has little intention of propping up a puppet regime, like Reagan wanted to do in Nicaragua. However, as Carol Moseley Braun said, "We broke it, and it's our responsibility to fix it."

I want even go into the rest of your post, because I think the level of sincerity to your conjecture is pretty evident to everybody.
