Title: Liberian G.I., you came and you changed my world
Post by: Bantu_Kelani on August 07, 2003, 11:45:11 PM
Another regime change and the possibility of American troops invading yet another sovereign country... Do the U.S govt. have to stick their dirty fingers into yet another poor nation, to subjugate their people, spread D.U., and force-feed them Big Macs? Or is this a just application of military force? Is there ever a time when the U.S will stop forcing regime change, or insert troops into sovereign countries against the will of the existing Government?

B.K.
