Who should America attack? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Note to mods: This isn't meant to be a duplicate thread. If this question is asked elsewhere though, I won't feel the least bit offended by this being closed and a link provided. I do think that this is a different way of asking the same question people usually ask, and it's of a broader scope than many other threads.

Iraq: Everyone has heard the justification for this.

North Korea: They have nukes and a bad attitude, but the potential for destruction in South Korea should give pause to hawks.

Sudan: They should be an easy target, engage in slave trade, and are carrying out a war of extermination against Christians and Animists. They also sheltered Al Qaeda, and have chronic shortages of aspirin due to preliminary bombardment.

Pakistan: They have nukes, a repressive dictatorship, are hosting Al Qaeda, and are a destabalizing force in the region. Technically they're our ally, but that hasn't stopped us from bombing the Canadians.

Saudi Arabia: They sponsor terrorism, oppress women, and do all sorts of bad stuff. Plus they have even more oil than Iraq.

Columbia: We haven't involved ourselves in a jungle war against Communists for thirty years. Can't let the lads get rusty.

My old boss was from Iran. He had to leave in a hurry after the revolution. Maybe my bitterness over how he skimped on the paychecks made me subconsciously forget to include the Islamic Republic.

what other anti-war slogans are there that i can lampoon? hmm... that one's funny, i think i might be persuaded to post a buncha those up around campus to combat the "NO BLOOD FOR OIL" posters...

not because i like the war, mind you. because it's funny.

if we attacked a banana republic, would we have to engage an old navy near a gap?

Sudan is easily the most morally justifiable war.

They permit slavery. They are engaging in near-genocide with the Bantu people of southern Sudan. They do everything they can to disrupt international relief supplies from getting to the south. When they don't kill southerners they will drive them from their land if there is an economic reason to do so, i.e. oil. They have supported international terror by harbouring Al Qaeda and by supporting the fanatical rebels in Uganda, the LRA.

The only moral justification for invading Iraq or North Korea would be that those governments are doing a horrible job of caring for their people. But we don't invade nations for that reason (except when its really easy, like Haiti). Otherwise, nations have the right to build whatever weapons they like, although they should withdraw from the NPT if they're going to build nukes.

Columbia... maybe we should. Instead of persuing the useless "war on drugs" and locking up criminals of questionable criminality, we could take the war to those who run the international drug cartels.

America is in luck. Norway has no superheroes! They lost their chance when Donald Blake removed the hammer of Thor from there.

They must be destroyed!

nations who agree that they wont build things (ie iraq agreeing not to build WoMD) then they do NOT have the right to have WoMD. Saddam was free to leave power, instead he stayed under condition. He has broken those conditions

How about Mexico? That is another half finished job, just like Iraq, only the first half was longer ago. And it is so much closer; no need to try to bribe countries like Turkey to attack from, it's right there. And the Caribbean has some great beaches too.

And the war of 1812 with the Brits was a draw, surely it is time to let them know who is boss.....
