you realize less innocent people are killed during a war than are killed via the hand of an unchecked dictator, right?
lolol
Misses the point. We do not care if someone is a dictator. If we did we wouldnt support all the dictators that we do. What we care about is protecting private interest and prop it up to make it look like we are trying to defend injustice abroad.
As I have posted several gazillion times and which you can't seem to wrap your brain around is that they have to get particularly heinous for us AND MOST OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD to actually do anything.
I sure as shit do not support this sudden Ghaddafi business. He should have been taken out 30 years ago when he was actively insane. He's pretty much been an international lamb for about a decade.

You're having a laugh. Anybody who thinks we're trying to bring democracy to these countries is fooling themselves. We don't want countries to be democratic when 80+% of their people want IRan to have nukes.
We're just trying to install a new dictator who will play ball.

looks to me like we dont declare war as often as you think zappa
http://www.johntreed.com/declarationofwar.html
and I UNDERSTAND IT WASNT JUST THE US DOING IT. but be fucking real, its not germany , nor south korea leading this shit. It's us, we sit atop the UN, we sell them the same bullshit we sell the american people, it doesnt make it any more justified.
and what else were they supposed to do to show dissent? fucking call uo Obama? Go to our media? what the fuck were they supposed to do?
Why cant we let them just fucking handle their irrational middle eastern politics in their own matter and why dont we fucking spend the money on building up our own infrastructure? You support building schools, and roads in iraq while our education system is failing and our infrastructure is crumbling?
And how are we not occupying those nations? how are we not occupying afghanistan and iraq? If some country had over 100,000 soldiers here and could do what they want, when they want Id consider us occupied.
in a world with no absolutes it is not our duty to install our morals and ways of life on people halfway across the world. Do you feel more safe now that we are going broke blowing shit up and losing lives in a fucking desert halfway accross the world?
Cause I sure as hell fucking dont' we are taking boarder patrols from here and sending them to iraq. We are taking young men and sending them there. We are diverting precious recources from a struggling private sector and blowing them up over in some fucking desert. I cant believe you are such a fucking pawn of the military industrial complex, but oh wait that doesnt exist right? its just some hippy mumbo jumbo made up because we hate war right?
zappa youre wrong. The brutality of the dictator has NOTHING to do with why or when we take them out. If that was true we wouldnt of given money to the hundreds of dictators that I cited in the post i directed at you. We do not care how badly a dictator brutalizes his people, unless it effects our interest.
if we did we wouldnt of given 100m to ghaddafi or we wouldnt of support Saddam at all. We wouldnt of supported any of the other fucking dictators either

was it right? was it wrong? .
But no pakistanis have hijacked a commercial jet, and no buildings have been targeted for demolition with people in them. good tactic? maybe so, maybe not - but extremely effective.

15 of the 19 were saudi. So why are we in Iraq and Afghanistan?
and if we are in afghanistan, why dont we destroy the poppy fields? To ensure that our DEA has work to do and so our prison complex has people to arrest right?

So when it does happen, those people are REALLY shocked, when they get a limb blown off or like see a guy blown in half, still alive.
I dont know about that. Im pretty sure i'd have some problems if I saw someones head blown off in front of me and ive been playing violent games since I was 10-11 yrs old
PTSD from returning troops is rampant

For real.
But overall I think whoever views this thread will more than likely side with us rational thinkers when it comes to something like war in which an "evolution" of sorts I believe is taking place. Slowly but surely.

That's mostly b/c we're on a mushroom/drugs forum. Try having this debate on a muscle car forum, it's the polar opposite.

Same goes for semen.
But yeah, I have to agree, that guy didn't sound like he had a clue. Also, I'm almost certain military code for White Phosphorus is Willie Pete not Whiskey Pete...
That being said, I've no doubt that it's been used as an offensive weapon in Iraq.
