Because in Somalia there was actual genocide occurring, and btw, 
plenty of people "bitched". Additionally, our men and women in service
were sent to Iraq under false pretenses based on a specious arguments. We have 
lost 80 people in Iraq (due to guerilla warfare) since the president
declared a "victory". Moreover, while Hussein is surely an asshole, 
we here in the USA also imprison millions of people, more than any
other nation on earth. Very, very few of these American prisoners 
have actually committed a violent crime against another. In our
prisons, inmates are beaten and raped regularly by guards and gangs.
How is that so different from what was done in Irag? Thanks to congress
taking away the judgement and judicial power of our judges, we have
people in California serving life sentences for robbery, thanks
to Three Strikes. Not to mention the fact that now we need more
and more people to serve in the military to keep up our presence
ALL OVER THE WORLD and billions of dollars to support the war machine. 
Money the US does not have since so many are not working to pay
taxes. We have lost 2 million jobs since the presidents first
tax cut. Again, if citizens aren't earning, they are not paying
taxes. Meanwhile, the Bush Administration has raised millions
already for their 2004 elections, even though we now know that much
of the contributions to the presidents 2000 election was stolen
from Enron employees and shareholders. Any decent person would
have returned the money to those who "lost everything" in the
Enron scandal. BTW, Ken Lay doesn't seem to be in much trouble,
certainly not doing any "hard" time. I guess
it's good to be buddies with the prez. So, where is Bin Laden anyway?
