you mean like how we joined ethiopia to invade somalia in 2006? the war that's been going on for over 2 years now? and we still haven't got that oil!... yet.

yes, somalia, ladies and gentlemen, like sudan, is another backward, p*ss poor 3rd world sh*thole that we're messing with because we want their oil. go figure

  Same excuse that you gave why America deplores the genocide in Darfur.
  No muslim nation is concerned about the millions displaced thusands killed and raped, and of course no complaint at all about the slaves brought home the the arab countries.

    it's not the excuse. it's the reason. the excuse is genocide and pirates. just like muslims and terrorists are the excuse today and yesterday and socialists and communists were the excuse the two days before that. the reason has always been the same.
    
    imperial conquest.
    
    it's what we do. only the excuses change.
    
    we always need one to justify our "rape" and "pillage" conquests in this new "enlightened" age of "freedom" and "democracy". an excuse to justify our hypocrisy. iraq and afghanistan are rape and pillage conquests. so are somalia and sudan. whatever situation we claim to go in and resolve we created in the first place. that's what empires do
    
    but i suspect you already know that, as do others here, but you won't admit it because you like it and have no conscience that would otherwise cause some internal problem of living with the lies and hypocrisy, as do others here. if not, then you must be now fully indoctrinated and incapable of critical thinking or independent thought
    
    you obviously read nothing of what i posted before. it would encourage such thinking. i'm not surprised in the least
