Hypocrisy I

I was thinking today about the "anti-war" position as pertains to Iraq II. If a person is anti-Iraq war, can that same person fault the U.S. for doing business with an oppressive regime?

Seems hypocritical to me. Are we to ignore those countries entirely? That's what's happening in Zimbabwe right now. We're ignoring it and people are starving to death. Since Mr. Mugabe came to power, Zibabweans earnings per capita has decreased by 50%!

Ignoring a more powerful country that behaves poorly and aggressively is what non-Churchillian Eurpoe did in WWII and continues today. It's called appeasement. Hoping for the best.

The best never happens.

So, I say: choose one or the other; anti-war OR economic disengagement. The alternative is to apply for French citizenship.
