Honestly, you know what's going on in Tibet....What do you think the US military...

...should do about this? don't say mind our own business....we mind everyone else business (invading Iraq with no defense treaty/no declaration of war) but turn the blind side on Tibet? why????
so we're willing to invade iraq and spend $500 billion and counting to get rid of saddam and free the iraqi people but we're turning blind sides to Tibet, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Etc......great.......can you say OIL?????

yes, i am very well aware of what's going on Tibet... it's been going on for decades.... it's only that now it's getting a tiny bit of publicity..

US military SHOULD mind their own business. The only reason they're in Iraq is because they can and Saddam regime wasn't good for US interest. It had nothing to do with liberating the people... it's supposedly about the WMDs... don't give me a freaking thumbs down, i'm just quoting Bush.

Because it would piss off China if we did something and right now China owns about 15% of our debt and it is growing everyday.

The fact of the matter is that there is nothing we can do.

Have you looked at a map? Are you willing to commit to a general war with China?

Are _you_ willing to participate in this fight?

Give me a thumbs down, call me not patriotic I frankly don't give a crap the u.s.a needs to MIND ITS OWN BUSINESS!!!

I promise this is not what our country's fore fathers had in mind. I do not think its right to go to war for oil, its called negotiation..we are in trouble lets work a deal to get help..

oh but my favorite is when they went after bin laden...they provide us with Saddam...(and do you hear about bin laden any more? of course not because they used Saddam as a distraction from the embarrassment of not being able to find an old man in the mountains)...

I dislike president Bush (I did vote and it wasn't for him that year)
I also dislike Obama...I think we need another Clinton to clean up after the bushes...


oooh yeah and as far as Tibet is concerned...I am well aware of whats going on, as it has been little by little for years...heh and now its getting news???
I think America needs to stop playing the worlds police, keep to itself , and take care of us (the poor citizens first)

The U.S. should not try to be the global police force, rather, we should use our influence politically with organizations like the UN and The EU to put pressure on offending governments (like China) Unfortunately, thanks to the current administration, we owe so much money (to China) we have less influence than ever before.

yeah. somethings we shouldn't touch.

iraq is an important country. you dont want a madman in charge of the world's oil supply.

these african nations cannot be fixed, and at some point the people there have to modernize and stabilize their nations on their own.

tibet is a sensitive issue. it belongs to china. why should the military do anything- its our politicians that use the military and make decisions.
