SO *WHY* hasn't the USA intervened in all those other countries who are so "unacceptable" to their lights???

I see little point in this, we were allied during the Second World War with some strange bedfellows: Joe Stalin's USSR, sometimes circumstances are like that. Some of the countries you mention are new democracies, one gets the impression you wish to belittle them due to their size, that's not very nice.

It is not that they are "strange bedfellows" it is the fact that the USA offered what were nothing less than "financial inducements" to more than a few of these countries to get them to sign up and support America's illegal actions in Iraq.
If you actually asked those countries and their peoples what they thought about the situation in Iraq I would put good money on the response being "we don't give two hoots about it, but we could do with a few billion extra dollars!"

No, not the same, homicidal terrorists murder deliberately as a matter of policy: men, women, chidren, mothers and babies, and even those at prayer such as the recent terrorist bombing of two synagoges in Turkey,;how on earth can you smugly say that it's the same as Allied forces bombing military targets, if civilians are killed or injured it's regretably accidental.

Ah, that wonderful term "friendly fire"? But firstly you haven't addressed the usage of cluster bombs and other such munitions which have the unfortunate habit of leaving unexploded ordnance lying around on the ground where it lurks until some poor unlucky sod trips over it or a hapless child sees something shiny and pretty and picks it up, only to have their hand blown off.
And secondly you haven't addressed the point that the USA *deliberately* and *as a matter of policy* targetted *civilian* infrastructure (conveniently redefining it as "military targets") resulting in outbreaks of disease and deaths amongst the general population.

Just my point, we are faced with HIGHER COUNCIL TAX bills simply because anti-American rent a mobs,

And again you make this accusation, yet again, you fail to back it up with any *real* proof. So either provide some cites that these "mobs" are being "rented" by someone or some organisation or shut up about them.

If you support anti-American protest why dont you put your money where your mouth is and help a little more by giving the police more cash.
|
Why on *earth* should I want to do that? What logical connection is there between the two ideas? It seems you are drawing a totally irrational conclusion based on nothing more than your own prejudices.

Oh! State benefits! Why didn't you say! Clearly, then, this is categorical proof that actually it is the *GOVERNMENT* themselves who are "renting" these mobs!!

some indeed it could be suggested may be funded by the G.L.A, K. Livingstone loves giving other peoples' money away,who knows?

Ah, supposition, innuendo, hearsay, gossip and not a *SHRED OF PROOF*!
