Reply #12: White Man's Burdan doesn't fit [View All]

[bryant69]

We don't have to fix it because we're white and they aren't. We have to fix it because that idiot President Bush invaded, making it the United States Responsibility. In other words we created this mess, and its in our best interests to fix it; because we caused it.

Secondly, what is the difference between these two statements?

Iraqis are naturally going to kill each other, so there's no point trying to prevent it.

Criminals are naturally going to commit crimes, so looking at possible economic and environmental causes of crime is a waste of time.

I don't see much difference myself; Iraqis are subject to the same passions and emotions that animate you and I.

A stronger argument might be that we Americans are so screwed up that we really don't have much hope of helping them. Not a pleasent thing to contemplate, but it might be true. Certainly President Bush's record has been the opposite of encouraging.
