This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen you write. Are you saying that killing thousands for breaking a contract is just? That is beyond stupid.
And name another time when we've invaded a country to get a fugitive. That is simply ridiculous, dude.
What started WW1? The Taliban are fucking monsters who harbored and succored terrorists for decades. Enough. Iraq invaded Kuwait and signed a cease fire agreement that was violated. There was no new war, just a resumption of hostilities in earnest. Even Clinton bombed him. It was enough.
What is beyond stupid is cowards who stick their head in the sand and refuse to accept that there are scumbags acting to tap that ass for all it is worth and yet whinge endlessly when they get the dick they deserve. I aint putting my head in the sand and I aint presenting my ass for the jolly rogering some seem to be willing to take.
Not for nothing but you are going to have go a long way towards proving that either of our actions resulted in greater net misery. Both the Taliban and Saddam were murdering monsters

The UN didn't say fine. The US went it without a resolution. The UN just isn't able to punish them for it. Learn your history. The only countries they don't own that agreed were Australia and the UK. Germany, Canada, all those others who usually support them? Hell no.

I don't know what "not for nothing" even means....
The rest of your rant is just that. You claim we went to war in Iraq because they broke a contract. That is not a valid reason to kill thousands of people, dude...color it however you want.
As for Afghanistan, there are tons of shitbags in the world...including many in our own nation. That doesn't mean it's okay to invade a nation and kill thousands of citizens of said nation.
You seem to be okay with the idea of going to war over just about anything. I'm not. I don't think bullying a bully makes us any less culpable, particularly when we harm a whole lot of the bullied at the same time. Your whole philosophy in this regard smacks of some kind of twisted mix of national pride and ethnocentric narcissism. We've no fucking business going to foreign lands and killing people just because we don't like the way they do things. FFS, that's not much different from what Al Qaeda did to us a decade and change ago.

If I break my tax contract with the government they come with guns and put me in jail unless I defend myself. Then they shoot me. Contract enforcement.Quote:

If you house and support Clyde Barrow and the popo come to get him and you say, "No, fuck you" and they bring their guns and you fight back you gonna get shot up too.
I am surprised a lawyer doesn't believe in the law.

Your analogies fail on many levels, but the most important shortcoming within them is that they miss the fact that the people killed in war are not the people culpable for the conduct being punished.
It would be like the IRS coming and bombing your entire block because you failed to file a tax return....or the cops shooting people until they finally get barrow.
I do believe in the law, and one of the core principles of the law is sovereignty. Iraq and Afghanistan are (were) sovereign nations and were NOT subject to U.S. law. We invaded them because we didn't like something they did...not because they attacked us...or even one of our allies.. We didn't approve of their behavior, so we invaded.
Where was the bombing of France over Roman Polanski?

Some of them are and some of them aren't. Who is responsible for the deaths from a police chase that kills a pedestrian? What does the law say, counselor?Quote:

Well no. It would be like the IRS shooting me when I stood my ground with a gun and told them to fuck offQuote:

Was Iraq sovereign after it signed the cease fire agreement? If you are going to argue that that contract meant nothing then let's by all means never accept another surrenderQuote:

I believe we should go there and get the pedophile freak. There or anywhere else. He aint exactly hiding.

The cop if he was negligent, and the person being chasedQuote:

That would be illegal, too, and whoever shot you would likely be prosecuted for itQuote:

YesQuote:

And maybe other countries should invade us for not turning over fugitives. I do recall that Bush and Cheney were indicted.

Holding a gun and telling someone to fuck off isn't violently resisting arrest, and it isn't justification to shoot someone. Further, the IRS isn't a police agency. Even further, the military aren't cops. Even further still, IRS obligations aren't a matter of contract. Your silly little metaphor fails at every level.

First off, thank you for adding my quote to your sig, I'll wear it as a badge of honor.
Second excuse the backtrack here but there's something I need to clear up

There are many ways to serve one's country. If the best one has to offer is military service, then he/she doesn't have much to offer at all.

People who do public research into public health issues, scientists who develop technologies for national defense or infrastructure upgrades to help America be more competitive...tons of people contribute far more than manual labor or service as a meat shield..

So you want to know how to make the infrastructure upgrades, but your party doesn't want to spend the dollars to help America be more competitive.
How is paying people billions to "develop technologies for national defense" honorable and someone in the military using those technologies not?
