Thread Name: BS: 'Great' Britain's responsibility
Subject: RE: 'Great' Britain's responsibility
There are people living in 3rd-world countries who would look at our so-called "slums" in New York, Chicago, L.A., And London, and consider them to be the lap of luxury.
Why do you think they risk their lives ,in some cases, to get here or to England or Germany or France. When was the last time the navy of China stopped a shipload of American refugees from trying to slip into that country? Are the sweatshops of Hong Kong crowded with Australians who work for substandard wages?
Hindsight is an exact science but even so, the second-guessing decisions that the bashers make could be dead wrong too and the results even more disastrous than the origional decision.
If you don't like a decision, voice your opposition. I certainly intend to. But don't talk about what should have been done after the fact. You have no way of knowing how your decision would have turned out. You only know how you hope and think it would have gone.
