> The sympathy vote? Are you calling moral opposition to what happened to the Kurds and what could easily happen again a sympathy vote?
I'm not so clear on what happened to the Kurds...
Er... What happened to the Kurds?
(I"m serious)
I guess I distinguish between moral opposition
(And indignation and so forth)
And... Bringing in the troops...
Just like I distinguish between moral opposition
(And indignation and so forth)
And... A punch in the head...
(But we aren't of course opposed to what happened to the Kurds if that involved some group of people doing something to the Kurds 'cause then those people might feel put down by our opposition)
The above paragraph was a joke... Kinda.
I guess I am thinking that probably comperable things happen to other minority groups...
But the US doesn't bring in the troops for them.
Hence... There must be some further motivation.
That is my thinking.
But... I could be way off because I still don't know what happened to the Kurds :-(
Just the general gist...
