War against so-called radical islam. So, do you differentiate between "radical islam," and Islam? Do you wish for Islam to be whiped out? Yeah, we don't want to make our enemies mad. <

Either provide links to your claims, or i'm callig BS.
How so? I think we have enough nukes in our subs to turn them into a glass parking lot. Oh, so you're willing to be barbaric...and nuke them? Oh gee, nice. *rolls eyes* First we need to stop being politically corre
Notice the trend here. It has minimumized. We started with just saying it is bad but letting it happen any way to enforcing the laws to the point that now if anyone finds out that there is torture they risk getting arrested no matter what the reason. In every conflict there are people that will do the wrong thing. Only now it is widedly acknowledged that torture is not acc
"A few important points need be stressed. First, the partition of Iraq along sectarian lines will not help in establishing peace in the region. On the contrary it will only add to the list of failed and failing states." Not to disagree, but would you mind showing me the right way to finding out more, perhaps provide a link? I dont get how they can say so, when it's only supposed to have been so new. I mean, personally i think it would b
Thats the nature of what we are dealing with. Fighting the enemy makes them and their supporters made.....so what. Leaving them alone and just hoping islamic terrorism goes away doesn't work. Re-read it if you must, but my point was/is: It is an idealogical war, and in my opinion...until we treat it as such, and fight it hand in hand,
That's because there is NO match for the US! Name just one government that the US could not destroy totally if it so chose to. I think Israel could give us a run for our money, to say the least.
Silent Poet, There will always be law breakers. The people in the military are forced to go through these classes every year they are in the military. It is put in their record that they took the class as proof they knew they were doing wrong should it ever happen. So far you have one instance of people being tortured out of the thousands captured. Once it was known
If that were true then war is lost by all comers on the first day. The bacteria is losing this war because they have never once done anything to help the people of Iraq. Any loser can kill, but we have built up that nation, not just killed people. The incompetent press makes sure you don't realize that. For that I spit on them all... there is not ONE among them worth
Not necessarily so. I believe the founding fathers wanted each public servant to be influenced or ruled by their personal religious convictions. They just did not want another person to be ruled my your beliefs. If a senator is raised Catholic, it is only logical that thier decisions would be influence by that belief, but that does not give him the right to pass a law that
"Separation of church and state." To successfully separate the church and state, we would need all of our politicians to be atheist. "Church," i.e. faith/religion, is as much of politics as a football is in the NFL. I mean, just looking at the Supreme Court, 56% is Roman Catholic. Congress itself has a large christian representation. If we look at it, in that they (founding fathers) wanted to make sure it didnt become like Englan
Finish reading his reply! TO AMERICA! Which america? The gov't? The people?
You and your kind are America's worst enemy. Please, tell me...who are "your kind." Show some fucking loyalty. To whom?
Iraq isn't a side show in the war on terror, it is the epicenter. Prove it. If the terrorist bacteria didn't move into Iraq then this war would have been over a long time ago! Really? Pr
i really have a difficult time determining which one--you or island dog--possesses the most most simplistic puerile world view. the fact that you both beat lucas outta the running oughta be a wakeup call for the both of you. Hey now, I'm the king!
First off, holy snikes batman ~ what the hell lit the fire? Now, Then why do you support the Congressional betrayal of them... is EXACTLY what pulling out before victory is. Congress betrayed our troops in Vietnam... sadly, now there are Vietnam vets in congress just
So, given you believe that expression and "living your life as you see fit" can be regulated, it just becomes a sliding scale, right? There is no hard, objective ideal here, just your values against other people's in a democracy. Eh, if I understand you correctly - yes, like anyone else/anything else. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95
*shrugs* Like you said mason, every forum has it's rules. If you don't like it, then you don't have to post there. I mean, it's the same thing here, DU, etc...
And don't forget, there is no American living now who experienced what a real war can mean in terms of economic disruption. You were never ever bombed on your own soil. And I read that lots of young Americans are very obese. Obese people don't make good soldiers. 1. We were bombed in WW2, by the Japanese. There is a memorial for several people lo
America is not weak. Certain political elements and the media are. Big difference. eh? So....the elements inside america, the ones that make up it's core....are weak, but it isn't? Forgive me, but for some reason that's not computing right now.
So tell me where I am wrong. You used my question, thereby implying i am, "one of them." Granted, I don't think Iraq is 'the' center, it is just one of many places. The reason I say: "The center is in our homes, our lives...this "war" is about beliefs/ideals. Essentially, 'us against them.'" Is because the fightin
The way I understand it, the freedom of speech applies only to American citizens, and does not extend to those of other nations. Okay, the following is my opinion. I believe in every human beings right to freedom, that if they disagree with something....that they can say so,and the right to live their lives the way they see fit.
That doesn't seem like a definition of a "core" problem. Perhaps to you, but that's what I believe. It's all about ideals. Islam -vs- Us? Christianity? the west? Islam versus....themselves, perhaps?
