Yes there were inspections taking place. Does that matter now? Are we 100% sure they were allowing us to inspect all nuclear sites?
Were the American hostages in Iran taken before or after us turning a blind eye to Saddam using chemical weapons?
Iran would be better off with out the IRG and the Ayatollah in power. They (and the world) were better off before and will be better off after.
Pick a side…. I choose America.
Back to the original post about Somalia specifically, the UN were there to feed people. Several UN workers were killed. America came in with a noble cause with this issue. Get the food to the people and get the guy who was stopping it. Hard to argue against that. Why he was starving his people doesn’t matter.
Of course nothing happens in a vacuum… So back to your original post, are you saying we shouldn’t have been there trying to feed the people in Somalia, or we should have tried to take out the warlord who had ties to Al Qaeda and was starving his own people?
Historical context doesn’t matter when people are dying.
Took 15 mins to toast a bagel this morning at the airport quick serve deli. Yet, workers complain they want more money? Start with earning what you get paid now. We will soon be competing with robots for jobs. Better start leveling up.
@Wolin805@BrokenestBoy@AJontheguitar@ArthurGarySim I would be offended if someone can’t assume my pronouns. They have also never been misidentified. If your pronouns are not obvious, let us know. That’s fine. If you are clearly a dude, and not trans we will pick that up quick no need to tell us just to appease the lefties.
Def calling BS. $7.25 an hour would have been considered a good wage at the time, if that was his first job he was very lucky. People lived with way less back then. Unemployment was high, the ability to borrow was limited because of interest rates.
Not discounting GZ struggles, but theirs were just as hard if not worse than yours. Y2K, the dot com bubble, Great Recession and the thought years that followed.
It’s hard right now, but the crème will rise to the top of your generation and be successful, others will be average. Story old as time.
@jase1129 He’s held to a higher standard because he is Acuna. We expect more out of him. Doesn’t matter what he is paid, we needed our star and he came up empty.
Did he deserve to be booed? No and I didn’t do it, but I understand why people did.
Iran funds Hamas. Iran created their circumstances by taking US hostages, threatening nuclear war, refusing to stop their nuclear weapons program, and being anti America for the past 45-50 years.
Have they paid a price for that? Yes! As they should. They could be a friendly to America and end their woes instantly. They choose to be our enemy. Not wise.
You were clearly asking questions to frame a straw man argument to make the Somalis seem like the good guys in the battle of Mogadishu. So yes, I think it is fair to think you intended to defend the warlords due to ‘historical context’.
