		<description>d,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yes, I know.  I can&#039;t imagine a USA unilateral invasion.  I think it would have to be a coalition force directed by the U.N.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Whatever they&#039;re doing, they better move fast.</description>

		<description>Apparently, Jim Webb is an author who&#039;s written what some are calling soft porn.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I guess that would disqualify him from VP consideration.</description>

		<description>@ d&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Well you&#039;ve made the case for yourself...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There would not be a need for a ground military action. So what is your point? In addition the U.N. and world would support us in this decision because the reason and cause is quite transparent for going there. It&#039;s to save lives...people that are dying right before our eyes.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;However the American Government obviously doesn&#039;t have a good track record with that in their own country.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here I thought you really cared about the people of Myanmar, but you just wanted to prove some flimsy political point.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;ve lost a tad of respect for you but I&#039;ll digress...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yes, Iraq IS different (as you stated). As different as the fourth reason given to the American people as to why we went to war with them.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;At the same time&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If the U.S. won&#039;t go by the same principle with the Sudan (and in the past Rwanda), then the same applies in Myanmar.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You can&#039;t pick and choose what invasions you feel are worthy in the name of liberating people from tyranny.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So disingenuous of you.</description>

<p>Here I thought you really cared about the people of Myanmar, but you just wanted to prove some flimsy political point.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve lost a tad of respect for you but I&#8217;ll digress&#8230;</p>
<p>Yes, Iraq IS different (as you stated). As different as the fourth reason given to the American people as to why we went to war with them.</p>
<p>At the same time</p>
<p>If the U.S. won&#8217;t go by the same principle with the Sudan (and in the past Rwanda), then the same applies in Myanmar.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t pick and choose what invasions you feel are worthy in the name of liberating people from tyranny.</p>
<p>So disingenuous of you.</p>
