So basically, since it wasn't a threat to 'the nation' then US shouldn't get Involved????
i believe it was good. USA had the resources and caoabilities to help out suffering people, and that is what they ultimately did. Look at Zimbabwe, (my neighbor). Rob Mugabe is going on and on, destroying the place.
... Zim inflation at record 620% - Zimbabwe's official rate of inflation has gained almost 100 percentage points in November to stand at 619.5%.
... The official rate is £1 to Z$1,315
... Children in Zimbabwe are to become the latest victims of President Robert Mugabe's destruction of the economy, with fees at state schools about to go up at least 10 times.
South Africa is in a position where they can do something, but the ppl of ZIM are still suffering, as RSA are doing nothing.
... Nobel Laureate Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu on Monday slammed South Africa's failure to speak out against human rights violations in Zimbabwe.
"The credibility of our democracy demands this," he said in a statement. "If we are seemingly indifferent to human rights violations happening in a neighbouring country, what is to stop us one day being indifferent to that in our own?"
Tutu's comments came after President Thabo Mbeki shrugged off human rights concerns in Zimbabwe in a blistering attack on the Commonwealth for extending the country's suspension from the bloc of Britain and its former colonies.
Now you tell me, is it right to sit back and watch another nation perish, especially if u can help, just because it wasn't a threat to the safety of the nation????
.. when he is down, you should help your brother.
