[beyelzu]

would you go to iraq and provide security to help people

[livius drusus]

Um... did you mean to start a new thread?

Um... did you mean to start a new thread?

I thought I would make ronin his thread
with a poll

[beyelzu]

I voted under certain conditions. I dont think that currently the administration has any real designs on true reconstruction so I think it would be pointless to go at the present time.

[livius drusus]

Ooohh... Well, I was just going to edit his OP, but either way.

[beyelzu]

Ooohh... Well, I was just going to edit his OP, but either way.
I just thought we posters could help out and save some of the overworked admins' valuable time.


either way, lets ask ronin.

you can close my thread if he wants you to edit his.

:D

I would, if the world community at large was involved, Russia, Europe, even China. But, they probably wouldn't want my fat broke-down ass over there, I'd be more a hindrance than a help. But, tax me, make me work extra to cover the people that do go, and I'm still all for it.

NEXT POLL:

On humanitarian grounds and pure self-preservation:

Would you choose help from liv or beyelzu at the risk of offending one over the other?

:eek:

Dammit, that is one shitkicker powerful koan...head...spinning...*keels over

[livius drusus]

Oh c'mon. That's not even a hard question. bey would be the first one to back away slowly and let me do my thing. Am I right, beyelzu? :whup:

[Socratoad]

I put yes under certain conditions. First of all in my case its all hypothetical. I'm just too damned old and unwell, so no way would they even have me.

Just a few conditions off the top of my head would be turn the mess over to the UN, kick Haliburton's thieving ass out of there. Insist that the surrounding Arab states actually do their part ...... and so on.

In reality, there are just so many trouble spots in this troubled old world that I more than likely would volunteer to help in the Sudan. If I had my druthers I would rather help in one of the less arid nations ...... me and deserts do'nt get along very well :(

I've had a helluva lot of experience in the aid field. Not protecting but actually hands-on helping, alas the days of helping are but memories.

Could you paste your reply into the other thread, Toad? This one is a (well-intentioned) usurper. ;)
