rif, even if assassinations have been "outlawed" since the 70's, you should not believe that the CIA abides to rules that apply to other democratic countries.

I've heard of multiple attempts at killing castro from multiple sources and I've never heard of a good reason to not believe in any of those sources.

edit :

do a google search for +castro +assassination +cia, gave me 23900 hits, visit the 20 first pages or so if you want to.

if the premise for this war had been to get saddam out and setup a democracy, Im pretty sure the international community would have supported it right from the start... so yes, you sort of can just go throwing governments... the error here was: the premise was WMD and they got little international support...

Im for kicking every dictator out... not assassination, though...

drone U.S. trying to kill Castro is not new, they put Pinochet in power of Chile, they supported Saddam before, they overthrow every government they dislike in Africa.. Castro is like a minor thing
And similar things are done also by european countries.. neocolonialism gogo

and therefore you make'em all upset and they start creating terrorist groups

2 wrongs don't make a right. 2 wrongs make 2 wrongs, nothing else.

and stoner I'm not claiming that usa trying to assassinate castro is a new phenomenon or something most people don't know about, in fact I picked that example because I expected it to be something well known that I wouldn't have to back up through posting tons of links.

Im against the way this war started... it really is what you just said stoner... US government doing as it pleases... ITS WRONG! everyone agrees...

but saying that the international community shouldnt try to get rid of all dictatorships (which it isnt doing, but should) is wrong, is just fucking stupid...

oh. im sorry, I really have to admit I didn't fully read your post and just responded after reading "Now lets test your knowledge a wee bit StoneR, did 9/11 come before or after the invasion of Iraq?", assuming you meant that going to war against iraq was justified because of 9/11.

my apologies! : )

its so stupid how everyone says wipe out iraq because of this one guy, i mean i really feel bad for him but do you really have to say wipe out the whole iraq? i'd blame the u.s for everything.

To comment on the 2 wrongs making another wrong or right, its just my opinion that war/fighting exists in our human existance because peaceful attitudes only allow aggressive people to walk all over you. Im mainly just talking in general.. only the slight correlation that if we did nothing to eliminate these threats of terrorism, they would continue to occur, and would eventually strike a fear into the common people that we dont need or want.
