views huh political views huh
well just any any political event or view or anything
well i think Bush done screwed up
well uh in what way
well as far as like the the people over there he told them to uprising have a uprising you know
and overtake Saddam so now that they're listening he's not helping them
i don't think he ever told them to to rise up against Saddam Hussein
yeah that's what he said when it first started that they should think about what they're doing and and you know what he's doing
that they should you know make him understand it it's just like them saying that we should understand what Bush is doing
but they don't have no say so in it i guess
well unfortunately the the United States as a government can't get involved in a civil war in another country because it's not
it it's
well that's what Vietnam was was a civil war
that's what get you know it's like a double double
standard
well
you know
i'm i uh
the uh
the Kurdish in the northern part of Iraq unfortunately when the the uh Mid Eastern countries were
when the boundaries were adjusted and changed and all the Kurdish were basically forgotten because there's a group of Kurdish in Northern Iraq there's some in uh Western Iran and there's some in Southern Turkey
oh yeah
and uh
well that's where he bombed before with the Turks
that's where he put the chemical weapons before
um-hum
and killed all them people
what's uh Saddam did
yeah it it's just unfortunate that the Kurdish people didn't get their own uh
land or something
well their their own government or their own
something originally
um
yeah
now they have to deal with whatever they get dished out more or less taken on from each side
because they're getting it from like Turkey closed their borders
um-hum
you know so i think they're screwed up there
yeah they've they've got plenty of problems without the Iraqi problem
uh-huh
and then Iran i don't know if they can go to Iran or not that wasn't
the the Iranian borders are still open uh from what i understand understand um
David
the Iraqis the Kurdish are going into Iran to Iran and into Syria i know that the Saudi the uh that Saudi Arabia has some pretty strict
yeah
uh
now they have yeah they're pretty strict anyway
yeah
and i doubt that they're letting too many Iraqis in
uh-huh
unless the people have proof that they're leaving that they're not going to stay
yeah
i don't even think that will help right now
because you never know who's on whose side and they're worried about that and
they could get over there and change their mind or something you know
who knows
then the Saudi Arabians will just shoot them
yeah now that's something i like about the country there's not a whole lot of crime over there as far as petty crime
you know they
well they it's a it's all the countries over there are very wealthy
yeah
and so most of the people are wealthy and and they don't have some most of their basic needs for for food and shelter and clothing are met so they don't have any
yeah
uh any need that's going to drive them to to petty theft or or to that type of crime
i wish it was as good over here as it is over there but
if you're the
yeah but those uh those countries are so extremely wealthy but from what i understand though that it's private
it's the same type of wealth distribution where you have a the very few are very wealthy
yeah
but since there's so much more to go around that that leaves the the lower classes with more
yeah
that's better than none at all i guess
yeah
they don't have no crime
so you think that that George Bush's foreign policy is poor because of because of what's happening to the Kurdish people
they
no i just think i don't know if he should have made that statement other than that you know he's all right you know but
i don't know i'm not a Bush fan i'm not really none of them's fan
i just wish something else could be done in this country i don't know what
something else done here that would would solve the problems in the Mid East or or
no that would solve our own problems
i don't know i think the war was good to a point but then it really didn't help us any you know
no other than than reestablishing the dominance of the United States in the in the world economy
you know
yeah that's it that's all that's that the to let the world know that we could do what we say we was going to that's about it
another thing that was good if you're looking at the balance of the super powers between the United States and the Soviet Union you know the United States went in and led the battle and and solved the problem and the Soviet Union is is a whimpering
is a whimpering country right now because they they've got so many problems that they can't even
now they now they have an internal problem themselves right now and i think that has to do with them having problems with food and and and and prices and all of that stuff
yeah yeah
a lot of their their civil problems where they've got their uh Baltic states
rising against the the uh the leadership in in the Russian state
um-hum
uh is the same type of deal as what occurred with the Kurdish people it's the same type of situation where
they they want their own their
where where ethnic groups were split up and and our and don't necessarily have the same uh social structure or value systems as the government
yep
it's i it's it's kind of fortunate that that the United States was founded in the way that it did because it's such a mixture of people
oh goodness yes
with with for the most part with the same ideals
yeah more or less just whatever it it's really that choice
yeah and and
that's the biggest that's the bottom line is it's your choice it's not told to you or pushed on you it's whatever choice you want to make you can make it yourself
yeah
and and when the when the United States was founded the people
the people who founded the country all had the same value systems and beliefs and so immigrants coming in understood that and and it wasn't as if it was forced upon them they chose to come to this country
yeah
it wasn't as if a a new government was established when they were already here
um-hum
so
well i think we've taken up at least five minutes
i've enjoyed talking t o you
all righty bye-bye
bye
