I do understand and respect your opinion but you need to go and see for yourself what it is like to have no rights! Some American civilians feel that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is unnecessary and they are allowed to have that opinion. But everyone is loosing sight on the big picture, you have to ask yourself is the world a better place without Saddam Husain? Yes it is the man exterminated thousands of people, bc they had different beliefs. When you talk to those people over there they were terrified of Saddam even after he had been found guilty in a court of law that the US helped set up for stabilization of the country. As for Afghanistan I think the results speak for themselves, there have been no attacks on US soil since the invasion. I would rather have soldiers being attacked than American civilians, at least the military has the means to defend themselves. War is terrible, but it is necessary to defend the civilian populace. One thing that drives me absolutely insane is that people bitch about how bad things are but they don't vote!! Well my vote doesn't matter they say; well how do know if you don't do it? That is our right and duty as citizens to make our voice heard.

Fuck yea! Well said bro!

I'm "allowed to have an opinion." How magnanimous of you to allow me to disagree with you. Who pays for the military? It doesn't pay for itself...the military is the ultimate welfare queen.During his reign Saddam killed how many people? He was a US ally for most of his reign and roughly 100,000 Iraqi's died during the US occupation, that's a pretty solid death toll. In regard to your no attacks on US soil, Fort Hood shooting was a terrorist attack by someone with a security clearance issued by your government, there have been more attempted terrorist attacks by US citizens since 9/11 than the entire history of the country; The fact they are incompetent actors is irrelevant.

War is NOT NECESSARY it is a choice. The Taliban agreed to hand over Osama and his henchmen in 1998.

"Taliban 'ready to discuss' Bin Laden handover if bombing halts
The Taliban would be ready to discuss handing over Osama bin Laden to a neutral country if the US halted the bombing of Afghanistan, a senior Taliban official said today.

Afghanistan's deputy prime minister, Haji Abdul Kabir, told reporters that the Taliban would require evidence that Bin Laden was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US.

"If the Taliban is given evidence that Osama bin Laden is involved" and the bombing campaign stopped, "we would be ready to hand him over to a third country", Mr Kabir added.

Well it's a good thing a spineless pussy like you isn't running our country and making tough decisions bc a lot of innocent people would get hurt. You say war is not necessary you know nothing. You can quote youtube all you want and all these other supposed experts you want ,but i know what i saw and experienced you are going off someone's opinion. War is terrible and should only be used as a last resort but it is very necessary. I have tried to be nice and at least try to have some sort of dialog with you but your just as bad as the religious extremist who hate us. You are no veteran your a spineless COWARD who hides behind the people that gives you the rights to have conversations like this, and then bad mouths them for it. I have more respect for the people who hate us bc at least they stand for something. I'm have no time for cowards

All I know is that Ron Paul would be the best president.... He's the most logical. But it seems like that's not going to happen. The next great big war will start soon. The left and right love war. Plain and simple. It's all about money.. When push comes to shove just don't point your guns at the American people. I hope you guys don't follow that order.

 

[SpyWizard]

they won't.. at least they wont against citizens, but a militant group.. they'll do that..

War is "very necesary" in you opinion? Look at the economic history of the United States from post Civil War to 1890..that's when the United States surpassed the British Empire in GDP to become the powerhouse of prosperity. A time of price deflation and prosperity with a tiny military where anyone could purchase any drug from the pharmacy and own any weapon they desired. Once again, the military and government don't give me anything, they rob me and treat me like a farmer treats their livestock. My rights are natural, they derive from the fact I'm a sentient human being capable of making decisions based on my own desires.

Your last statement is very informing. You respect "them" because they "stand for something." What did Bin Laden stand for? He didn't "hate America" because we have Budweiser and "freedom." Bin Laden spelled it out, he hated America because we occupied Muslim holy land and armed Israel against muslims. What does the Taliban hate? Foreign invaders..doesn't matter if you're Alexander the Great, Ghengis Khan or George Bush on a mission from god. The people of Afghanistan have always resisted foreign invasion. We have a spike in domestic terrorism because of US policy against non Al Queda muslims; specifically killing muslims in Pakistan that have no connection with Al Queda.
