 | Mistakes that Russia made
Do any of you think that we will make the same mistakes the former USSR did in the middle east?

If so, no, I don't think we did. If you mean supporting Saddam... we did make that mistake - but we corrected it. | |

Well we fucked up in Vietnam so I guess that would have been a better way to ask the question.

Um, I think he was referring to Iraq as a whole, not Saddam. They are both kinda connected..............you are just using semantics on this one. Way to be a politician

Because we gave him guns. We don't give him guns anymore. However, we have started to give guns to Pakistan, just one example of twisted, convoluted, self interested hypocrisy at work. And what will we then say when Musharaff turns in to the next Saddam? "He was our friend at the time".

now you're just baiting, but I'll bite.....  because the UN was too big a collection of pussy's to mandate his capture and removal from office in 1991..... and to get at what you were looknig for.... Saddam's messing with Iran didn't upset the US and we helped him do it - we changed policy after that.... before France or Russia - who maintained supoort for him until the US captured him. | |

you editted while I responded... Where is Musharraf going to invade? How much oil does he control? Do you think India will serve as a natural counterbalance? And, yes, he is currently our friend - and we've needed him. That's how the world works... it's rarely pretty T. | |
