>Bush is hardly the first president to use the military for a little jaunt. so that makes it okay? no. it does not. your "little jaunt" destabilized the entire middle east, putting iran suddenly as the regional superpower. it killed tens of thousands, maimed hundreds of thousands, and displaced millions. your "little jaunt" left us lagged an entire generation of military tech behind china as we spent our money waging war for 10 years rather than investing and innovating. very expensive things, in terms of blood and innovation, those "little jaunts"

yep, and 640K is more memory than anyone will ever need.

yes. because we do not have free speech in the united states, that is a valid concern.

way to focus on one tree and neglect the forest.

that is the most disjointed from reality statement i think i have ever read on the internet. congrats, i guess.

"Qatar has supported the US in these wars" but they didn't *wage* them. logic 101. get you some.

the iraq war, and guantanamo bay. that is how. it doesn't matter how many people hate GWB. the fact of the matter is, these human rights abuses and atrocities occurred. you think it is somehow less despotic that an elected government performed those actions?

we also had decade+ long war without cause, open "legalized" torture of prisoners of war, corporate malfeasance robbing millions of their retirements and life savings, etc. etc. etc. qatar had none of that.

what was the last war qatar waged against a sovereign foreign state for no reason, resulting in hundreds of thousands dead, millions displaced?

>There. Is no such thing as a progressive muslim state. Qatar. i lived there for a few years. less human rights violations, crime, despotism, corruption, justice irregularities than the USA under george w. bush. the facts are hard to swallow, but there you are.
