All wars are designed to increase profits for certain individuals, increase fear, control and tyranny on the public and remove human beings form their true state of being.... It increases profits for certain individuals...but it also has for a whole country...i.e. pulling out of hte great depression. you once again went back to prejudices of what war is about rather then looking at individual wars and what they were about. Maybe its an over generalization of war and peace. Looking at each case individually helps. Relate what you can, but dont overshadow everything with a common prejudice. Of course individuals profit, but at the same time the country as a whole can profit and that shows through history. With said it shows that you look at the things that support anti war and have thrown away the profits of war for the whole community. im not saying war is always good or always bad. but as i have said like 1000 times it has to be looked at on a case by case basis and not be skewed with prejudice. -Evman | |

Well Iraq is like Vietnam. The people don't want the US there and no matter how much shit they do it aint gonna happen. The longer it goes on the more people will realize that what the terrorists did to threaten the US is being more abstracted by what the US is doing in return, which can argueably called a terrorist act when using even the more simple logic.

nope terroism is defined bu its tactics...purely to terrorize people into a forced result. waris about obtaining objectives...controlling land.Exactly. It doesn't matter how many planes or bombs you have, if it is terrorism, then that is what it is. Period. The formula starts as it did after we took Iraq with Al Quaida revealing itself.What are you talking about? Afghanistan? we didnt bomb their sewage to create any political situation within Iraq. But I thought we were fighting Saddam, not the Iraqis. I mean, those sewage plants were there for the civilians, right? yes I AM saying using smart bombs is ok and comendable if your going to be fighting a war depending on what the intended targets were. The difference is the US isnt TARGETING children and the public for pure shock value. the insurgents in Iraq and terrorist that attacked the US did...and are.Wait a minute, wasn't this a pre-emptive strike? A strike that went against the majority of the world? A strike that went against the majority of Americans? When were we attacked? 9/11? Please. yeah....a US soldier has no moral high ground over some fuck face trying to force his minority view upon all the people of Iraq by swaying the will of people and politicians by killing for shock value...terroist like high kill ratios for its promotional value...Us troops dont like high kill numbers of covillians because it hurts their end goal...securing the trust of the IRaqi people and the people supporting the war back in the Us and all over the world.No, soldiers are following orders and trying to survive. The agenda is cooked up by the president and his generals, not the common infantry. You don't even seem to question this shit at all. Maybe what we disagree on is whether killing is wrong. When I talk of holding a terrorist accountable, I am talking about investigations, courts, etc. You're talking about smartbombs. The U.S. doesn't even hold itself accountable to ANY police organization or court. The word, "Terrorist" is a propaganda tool. Period. It objectifies a person or group and allows people like to hate them, because if we called them killers, then it would apply to us as well, and that just isn't useful to subjugate the masses. I see your point about having it both ways, as far as safety and pacifism goes, but it's not proven here. At least not to me. Find me a killer, prove to me that he is guilty and then prove that his crime warrants his death. Then kill him. But don't bomb a country with smartbombs and tell me that it is justice, or even justified by words like "strategy, dominance and warfare." We support Iraq's crimes until they no longer serve us, then we kill, torture and descimate. Winning strategy, maybe, but I think THAT is evil. And to what purpose? What are we "Winning" in Iraq? ~J http://www.myspace.com/kidsbike www.bloodybikebrigade.blogspot.com | |

I really do appreciate it when people speak for me. I don't even have to post, it seems my views have already been accounted for.

I was hoping we could discuss things without me being told what my prejudices and biases were, or rather what you believe them to be....I have researched what I post probably a little more in depth than you may believe.

but you are needed by those hoping to regain power over questioning a war they themsleves supported based on all the same data....six years ago...the only thing thats changed is the political landscape of the US. Such a good point. If any democrats try to say that the war is bad and that's why you shouldn't vote republican, I will be quite pissed off. I don't remember too many politicians, repub or dem, voting against the Patriot Act or Homeland Security Act, or being too upset that the president started a war without Congressional approval. Which is why any current Repub or Dem is worthless as a leader (assuming they didn't protest the 2 acts I mentioned or the war they didn't approve). They allowed the president to be above the law. /off topic rant ![]() Frequent punishments are always a sign of weakness or laziness on the part of a government. -Jean Jacques Rousseau | |
