Why George Bush support the child killer Ethiopian government (TPLF)in the name of democracy?

because he feels that if he gives them support that they will be more likely to let american soldiers be there more permanently, thus giving the US a strategical advantage by having a base there

They are defending private profit for multinational oil and infraestructure corporations, by removing the Saddam Hussein regime, which became an enemy of the US once he decided to nationalize Iraq's oil fields in 1990.\nNevermind the fact that the US supports dictatorships in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, or that during the 1980's, while the Kurds were being gassed, the US armed and supported Hussein, people still don't realize that the "defend democracy" argument is bullshit.\n\n\nMan, I really hate you people. Please don't prove my point! Smarten up!

Naaa you all got it wrong, bin laden is just getting revenge to what the west did to his country and many more. E.G Africa, west stole all the jewells making a fortune and leaving africa to charity. Bush is a numskull.Bush has killed more in Iraq than pathetic Osama ever will. Saying lets go into iraq cos saddam holds W.m.d, then they never found it and are exporting  iraqs oil. no wonder america and the rest of the west are rich. dont forget one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. if flying a plane into a building is evil. Think about all the thousand of people(and counting) who died in afghanistan, iraq and many more. Huh isnt that evil as well??? Killing is evil, whatever country or policy you bring...

Because America is not interested in democracy. It wants to transfer tax payers money to republican contributing companies, which happen to sell weapons used in WARS

It's a sad fact that many African countries that start off as democracies revert to tribalism. Zimbabwe is a extreme example but you'll find Mugabe has his defenders here on Answers. Most of these 'defenders' have of course never been to Zimbabwe and are just spouting someones  propaganda. I hope the RSA doesn't follow this path but of course corruption is rife throughout the country and this often leads to one party states which are the end of democracy.

Graig C, I don't believe that Saddam is going to be executed. His next trials will drag on for 2 more years until next president will forgive him. Bush only hyped Saddam's execution before the election for political purposes. Bush can't be charged for mass murdering innocent people and thousands of our troops because of the patriotic act he signed. That was indeed shrewed of the neoconservatives. Yes, Saddam was a bad dictator and perhaps deserves to be killed, but he was not the worst dictator. Why is Bush picking on Saddam? USA built him up and made him bad. Rumsfeldt dealt with Saddam and supported him in the past. USA saved Saddam's butt in the past from many assassinations designed by his Shiites rebels. They gave him all the weapons and chemicals to defend himself from those Shiites rebels. Now because Saddam refused to cooperate with the USA like Qaddafi did and because we need Saddam's oil, so he is no good? What about Sudan's President Al-Bashir, who is killing innocent people left and right in Darfur? What about Libya's president, Qaddafi the horrible dictator? What about Egypt's president, Mr. Mubarak, the selfish bad dictator? What about Syria's President, Mr. Al-Assad, who is killing and jailing his opponents every day? What about Saudi Arabia King and his Sheiks, who hate Christians and oppressing outsiders (not Saudis)? Should we invade their countries and execute those dictators as well? C'mon Republicans, Is this logical? It is fine if you want to bully people around and control the oil resources in the world, but this is not the way to do it. Brutal Military Action as we are experiencing, destroying other countries and killing innocent civilians does not match our Great American Values and Morals. I am really ashamed of our president Bush and his bad ethics. God Bless the USA and our troops forever.

I think christian republicans are idiots for trusting Bush.  Your tax dollars went to establishing the government that will execute that guy.  US Soliders died for that government.  The FACT that Bush has not publically denounced the Afghan government for doing this is a bad joke played on Christian Republicans.

great answer "bush is a fascist".  I glad to know the people who are going to kill us agree with your belief on a person.  maybe that is how we can stop them.... well we agree with you hes dumb dont kill me.

Good point.  When Bush talks about "spreading freedom to the darkest corners of the world", what he's really talking about is spreading his brand of government.  I can't blame them for not wanting that, because I don't like his version of "democracy" either.  It looks more like fascism to me.  I can't wait until we're rid of him, but in the meantime I'm hoping a big shakeup in Congress will make him a totally ineffectual lame duck.

Poor Abooodi, are you expecting mercy from your lashers?\nI will not generalize but most of those who answered your question and supporting the US "Democracy and Freedom" are no more than the other face of the dirty coin which the US administration occupies its other face, particularly this boastful Mr. EX, who doesn't feel shy at all to support the invaders of his country, why not while he is laying in their lap now and still boasts about being patriot, not only that but claims the right to say DO and DON'T, just to know every Arab whether Moslem or non-Moslem has the right to defend the whole Arab world as long as he is patriot not betrayer, just look at Christians in Palestine they are fighting beside the Moslems against the tyranny of the Jewish occupation. No body has called the damn Americans to free the Iraqi people from the tyranny pf Saddam, although no one liked Saddam including the writer, but still Saddam is better than the foreign invaders who came to rob the wealth of Arab and Moslem countries, those who speak a bout terrorism and blood shedding should feel shy of them selves , because if they read the history well they will know that on top of terrorist nations and regimes sits the USA nation (to be precise not in general)  and the successive governments in general, and the American history is a living wittiness that America was founded on the skulls of red Indians, Americans has started their history as invaders and still continue to play the same dirty game, remember the first and the second world wars it was mainly between you western countries of civilizations , how many the Arabs and Moslems killed from you through out the whole history including the invasion of Moslems to your countries during the early Islamic expansion and include even the victims of 9/11? What ever the figure is, it can never be compared to your crimes against humanity, against other nations and even against your own Christian people during the world wars. Those who claim stupidly that the lashers didn't take the USA administration permission to execute their crimes against Iraqi armless people; can they dare to say also that the criminal pilots who dropped the atomic bombs on Japan and killed on the spot 240,000 and left hundreds of thousands suffering the atomic radiation effects until to day can he say that they didn't take the permission? 10 million people were killed during the First World War, 55 millions were killed in World War 2, ooops you don't believe me? OK go and search Encarta Encyclopedia and you will find the dreadful truth and then you Americans and western people who still support the tyranny will discover who the Real Terrorists are. Please people wake up before it's too late.

Actually I'm not sure people have thought this one through, while Hitler's extermination of the Jews can never be forgiven. Bush is probably responsible for more misery and death globally than Hitler was. His cowardice in exercising his legal obligation to prevent genocide in places like Somalia (Colin Powell said it was genocide - you pro-Bush folks) and other areas of the world. Combined with the onslaught of violence in Iraq and Afghanistan (which never had anything to do with Al Qaeda but everything to do with oil, otherwise he would invade Saudia Arabia and arrests Osama's family).\n\nHis inability to treat the third world as equals, causing US companies to feel OK about using child labour in India, China, The Phillipines etc. perpetuates misery, poverty and death on millions.\n\nHis inability to tax the rich like they should be taxed and reorient some of the obscene wealth to improve the lives of billions, is a crime against nature itself. The richest 3 men in the world are worth more (in money) than the 15 poorest nations on earth. Over 1 billion people survive on less than 1 US dollar a day. Over 2 billion people still do not have access to clean drinking water.\n\nAnd his many other crimes are at least as appalling as that of the German regime.\n\nDo I think Bush makes Hilter look like Mary Poppins? No. Do I think there's a good case for them being considered equally awful - you bet.

In one word - carefully.  We must continue training their forces, and keeping a presence through their voting process and while their new government is setting up.  Offering aid to rebuild schools, hospitals and roads will put children in schools, adults to work and a place where the sick can be attended to.  This is a fledgling democracy in which the majority wants to see succeed.  The enemy is largely hidden and not always obvious, but in essence, the enemy is theocratic fascism.

As a previous answerer pointed, the US has supported a fair number of unsavory characters to forward its own agenda.\n\nHere is a link that you can use to find out more about it:\n\nhttp://www.omnicenter.org/warpeacecollection/dictators.htm\n\nThis list includes muslim and non-muslim dictators.\n\nBy the way, this isn't liberal or conservative. Dictators have been supported by both democrat and republican administrations.\n\n~X~

Because the American government embraces any thug who will co-operate in their quest to control as much of the world and its wealth as they can take from others. Were he to stop co-operating with them, he would be vilified as Hugo Chavez is now, only he would deserve it. The current (and unelected) American government is not remotely interested in Democracy, but hopes there are enough stupid people around to believe what they say and to not notice what they are actually doing.\nListen to "Democracy Now, The War and Peace Report" if you ever get the chance.   <democracynow.org>

The US government's foreign policy dictates that democracy be spread around the world.  The World Court did try and hold the US for war crimes.  The US told the world court to 'stick it'.  I believe it was Colin Powell they wanted to try.\n\nIf you don't like democracy.  Good for you.  Just stay out of the US.  Thank you.

I would say that the current government is definitely not what the majority of American people want.  The American system is not looking much like a democracy these days.  I would say the people that do support the actions of the current administration are mostly those that are still eating up the propaganda that they are being fed by the monstrous corporate machine to which the administration caters.  The USA is almost certainly headed for deeper sh*t than it is already in because of Bush's policies.  The idea that destroying a country, and inflicting such massive suffering on its people is making the world and the US more secure is rediculous.  All you have to do to see this is ask yourself what you would want done in retaliation for your family being killed in a bomb dropped on your home by another country's military.  This administration's foreign policy is making more people angry at the US on a daily basis.

It's good to see some people here opening their eyes. However he still has 1 1/2 years to destroy everything... I move for impeachment on the grounds of committing war crimes, waging an unjustified war, damaging the American reputation world wide, invasion of a country with no proof of wrong doing, a disregard for intelligence stating that there were no WMD's in Iraq, and using fear of terrorism and disasters to try and hold office. Pry those eyes open people and join me in creating awareness of Bush and his crooked politics. Why do you think most countries don't like Americans anymore? Because they get more of the real story. Do you think Bush will let our news broadcast information on how much of a criminal he is? HELL NO! It is our duty as American Citizens, and as a Capitalist society to make sure that we are not the aggressors! Muslims do not attack us because they are jealous of our way of life. They attack us because we are forcing our way of life on them, and using torture and fear to justify our "Lawful" actions. That is called Fascism, and it was supposed to die with WW2. \n\nIgnorance is your choice in this country.. please don't choose to ignore the people dying in other countries to push democracy, when democracy is not what the people in that country strive for. Who are we to oust a government, even if they harm their own people. History has shown that when the people are ready, they will lead a revolution and make the necessary changes to secure the success of their country in the world. If we are to continue as a world power it is our responcibility to make sure we do not endorse negativity and oppression.
