Where is the justice in Iraq?

Originally posted by der schwarze RitterPerhaps you are right, but unfortunately lots of the aid to rebuild the country has been misused/gone missing, what can we do about that?

Do you think he would agree that Cubans today would be happier because Communism is all that they know -- in other words, you can't miss what you don't have? Or are they miserable knowing that their relatives in Miami have more freedoms, opportunities and food than they do? Or do they pity the Americans because they suffer from the paradox of choice?

Originally posted by PalynkaHe makes the same argument that many liberals cleave to: our capitalist society makes everyone feel paranoid, scared, inadequate, etc., so that they will buy tons of stuff they don't want or need. Of course, the converse is no better: give all of your earthly possessions to a guru while you shave your head, wear a hooded robe and toil in the fields.
