Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

This is typical; very few people that are against the war have taken a hard look at the situation. And even fewer offer any solutions that will fix the problem. We gave the region eight years of appeasement and that got 3000+ Americans killed. It got the side blown out of a ship, embassy’s bombed. What does it take to convince these peace nicks that force is the only thing that ½ of the world understands. Someone says lets have a march and the sheep flock out, asking “what are we marching for today?” Then when they find out that it’s a peace march, they think it’s cool. Just like the sixties marches were cool. They seem to be able to overlook the fact that we have been under attack for quite some time now.

We have the choice of responding like Israel, and fighting them in the streets of our cities, or going the hell over to their homes and killing the sick bastards there. Take a good look at Israel; do we really want mandatory military service, lifetime reserve status? Do we want to issue MAC-10’s to everyone so that they can defend their homes. How stupid can these people be? We support Israel, so most of the Arab world hates us, fine. They have the right to hate. But when they reach out and kill some of us, then they also have the right to die by the thousands. The value of human life is very high when viewed individually, but when taken in large Groups, it tends to break down into other indicators, such as economic earning power, contributions to arts and humanities, and the stability of communities. Perhaps the peace marchers should sit home for a few weeks and call the people who lost loved ones on 9/11. I think they might come away with a different perspective after having a look from the individual point of view.
