debtcollector, get out of the debt collecting business and go to work for the UN. Or the CIA; they need Arabic speakers.
There are some things that even a debt collector will not stoop to.
Given my personal opposition to our nation's repeated acts of aggression to nations around the world, I refuse to participate in the process. We have deployed soldiers to Iraq, Afghanistan, South America, Africa, Vietnam and a few other nations without a single declaration of war. That is not legal. It is not right and it is the reason so much of the world doesn't like us. When we are attacked, we should formally declare war and completely destroy our enemy. These ongoing little conflicts do nothing but waste the lives of our soldiers and harm our nation in fact and in history. As a matter of national policy, we shouldn't care who is the leader of some scrap of dirt on the other side of the world. We shouldn't interfere in the internal politics of any other nation state. The fact is that our foreign policy of the 70 years has created the international morass through which we now wade. For example: Iran. We aided the Shaw in his coup against the democratically elected prime minister. Then we supported him and his son for decades of oppressive internal policies. The result was the Islamic revolution, almost a decade of war with Iraq during which we supported Saddam Hussein and his used of weapons of mass destruction against Iran. Then we entered a decade of conflict against Hussein followed by an additional decade of internal strife and several thousand dead American soldiers. All because we came out of the Roosevelt era with the attitude that we can do whatever we wanted without consequence.
There are always consequences.
In 2000, U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright stated: "In 1953 the United States played a significant role in orchestrating the overthrow of Iran's popular Prime Minister, Mohammed Massadegh. The Eisenhower Administration believed its actions were justified for strategic reasons; but the coup was clearly a setback for Iran's political development. And it is easy to see now why many Iranians continue to resent this intervention by America in their internal affairs."
For our meddling in Iran, we have paid in blood and will continue to pay in blood for years to come.
I served in Desert Storm when I was younger. I have no interest in furthering the actions that have led us to this point.
As for the UN, an organization founded in the ideals of peace. The five permanent members of the Security Council (U.S, UK, France, Russia, and China) are the five largest arms dealers in the world. The UN doesn't actually work to stop local or regional conflicts because it would disrupt the economic well-being of the permanent members.
In 1966 Muhammad Ali said, "I ain't got no quarrel with the VietCong." He was right. If Congress can't set aside their squabbles to declare war, the issue probably isn't serious enough to go to war.
That's why I will not consider either the UN or CIA. Frankly neither is respectable nor credible enough for a debt collector to join them.
