I always wonder when I see your posts what would you be willing to fight for?

Seriously. Whether we find WMD or not, is there any point where a dictator is causing mass murder when you or others believe we should stop a madman. 10 people? 100? 10,000? How about confirmed 300,000. We have already dug up that many bodies Saddam killed/had murdered in his name, and we fear it might top 1 million when we locate all the bodies.

How about 6 million (Hitler). Even if we could not prove he was a threat to the US, is the some point you would have supported us fighting him anyway?

Clinton and others said we needed to do a regime change because of genocide in the Balkans...where there were a reported 5,100 people murdered. OK, that is an answer.

What about your answer? Or is it only when they are American deaths? In which case you are probably not very impressed with the sacrifices of those on this D-Day anniversary.

Just curious.

Castro is killing opponents. You haven't called for us to invade Cuba. Does that make you pro-Castro, or indifferent to dictators? I don't accuse you of that, because it's never been U.S. policy to send American young people to die in countries that haven't attacked us or are on the verge of doing so.

Does the fact that you're not calling for invasions of Sudan, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Cuba, China, North Korea -- in all of which people are being oppressed and killed by dicatators -- mean that you "aren't willing to fight" for a noble cause? I don't think so. I just think (whether you admit it or not) you don't support the idea of America invading countries just because they have tyrannical, murderous rulers. You make an exception to that rule, when it comes to Iraq. I don't. That's the only difference between us. Do you know that more than 2 million people have died in Congo's civil war since 1998 (instigated by guys of Saddam-like evil) since 1998? Why aren't you calling for intervention of tens of thousands of American troops? Until you do, please stop accusing me of moral indifference because I don't believe in invading other countries that haven't attacked us or pose imminent dangers to us.
