    H yes the American dream. What are you doing now, sitting on your front porch with an AK47 in case the government, the army, the police or a hoard of blacks come trying to take away your freedom. us1.jpg us2.jpg us3.jpg us4.jpg us5.jpg us6.jpg us7.jpg usa1.jpg

    Apparently, according to another poster, I need to emphasize America's supposed superior democratic credentials when compared to Iran's by placing the word "votes" in inverted commas whenever I refer to the latter.

    I don't think the poster in question fully understands the famous maxim, "If voting changed anything, the politicians would have banned it by now".

    But I digress.

    It is obvious you do not understand tactics or the meaning of war. You are suggesting a gentlemen's war.....no such animal. Next time we send troops in to fight a gentlemen's war please volunteer and lead from the front.

    Would we still have the same public policy paradigm if the wealthiest were burdened with wartime tax rates even for a War on Drugs?

    War has been said to be a failure of politics; what "profit" motive do our elected representatives have to fail us so often?

    We are. We started with the ones most likely to threaten us, and are working our way through the list from there.

    Fortunately for us, democracy has been proliferating on it's own for the last few centuries, so it is likely many of those nations will already be assimilated before we get to them. It will save a lot of time.

    The "people" have never been our target. Or the focus of our aggression. The governments in control of them are the target and focus of our aggression.

    What is your alternative? Tyranny of the minority instead? How is that better?

    There is no such thing as a gentleman's war. I do not dare to suggest that I know more than you on military tactics, even though I served for 10 years in the Australian Army Armoured Corps, crew commanding a Fire Support Vehicle in an Armoured Cavalry unit. I was the troop sergeant so I didn't lead from the front, usually my troop was lead by the troop leader. Armoured Calvary though usually operates in front of the "front line". So what are your credentials to discuss military tactics?

    War is a disgusting thing and a blight on so-called civilised man that we have to resort to such a useless waste of human life, ridiculous amounts of money and resources in what is supposed to be an "enlightened" age. People do abhorrent things during war, soldiers are programmed to kill the enemy, but if we looked at them as soldiers, doing a job, fathers, sons, husbands and boyfriends then we would surely go mad, so we look at them as less than we are, as some sort of lower life, makes putting their heads in the crossed hairs a lot easier.

    You are right, there is no such thing as a "gentleman's" war. You don't however fight a rabid dog, by catching rabies and mauling it to death, it is often not the fault of the dog it is sick. We are humans, human is the root of the word humane, we try our best to corner the dog, and using a clean shot, put him out of his misery and dispose of the risk. Well that's how "civilized" people do it.

    Arrogant thoughts and statements like this do more to insight hatred of the American people to both their allies and enemies than any missile. Why not start with the Vatican City, then move on to Morocco and Fiji. These would have immediate results and show the world that you mean business.

    You could have a national holiday to celebrate your benevolence, maybe even have a parade and wave flags. The world could breath a sigh of relief knowing that it was a little more like the "good ol US of A". Stop any thoughts that the Pope has of world domination.
    Thankfully yes it would, it would take a few hours to rain a firestorm down on Fiji, I hope they see the light "hallelujah" and convert to Americanism before it's too late, they are such lovely people.
    And you will go to extreme lengths to ensure there is no collateral damage, I know, we have seen the US in action many times.

    and the only alternative colour to black is white? Hmm I thought that there was a whole rainbow of colours.

    Because that's what benefits the constituency they represent.

    It can't be real times of war if the wealthiest are not being burdened with wartime tax rates in our objective and market based, political reality.

    I am ok with that. Our defense matters more to me than their love.

    Because they pose the least threat to us. They are not invading people or killing people or committing terrorist acts. It makes sense to deal with the biggest threats first.

    "Americanism" does not exist. There are lots of democracies that are structured completely different from America.

    And as I said before, it is entirely possible that they will already be a democracy by the time we are done assimilating the more hostile nations.

    Yes we do. Precision weapons are not cheap to develop of manufacture.

    In this context there is. Someone is making the decisions...if the someone is a minority, it is tyranny of the minority, right?

    I'm sitting in front of a computer enjoying the spectacle of you making an ignorant, xenophobic ass out of yourself. Thanks for the entertainment, sport. :beer:

    Tell that to Neda Agha-Soltan and Zahra Kazemi.

    Oh, that's right - you can't. They were murdered by your "liberal democrats" in Tehran.

    Too many ""Americans" want war with Iran/question-Why?"

    Answer, they believe in the 3 evil spirits of Revelation 16 and want yet another Armageddon. They are like the wicked servant who said in his heart, my master delayeth his coming." Matthew 24:48

    They have denied Christ and put "those who make the Word of God of no effect", upon the highest thrones of society.

    Below is nice confession of depravity, reactionary blindness & weakness by Sadistic Savior. Considering that "people are not his target", we should be thankful. How many more millions would have been destroyed if they had been his target?

    Pity the poor Pavlovized dupes can't see that we should be a city of Love, Life, Truth, Mercy and Faith instead of the terrorist war crazies we have become.

    I am an atheist. None of that stuff matters to me. My feelings about Iran have nothing to do with any belief in a higher power.

    Exactly. People who complain about America really do not know how bad bad can get. We are pulling punches.

    Just because I've been out-voted doesn't mean I ain't right.

    I'd probably be in favor of war if we hadn't heard that same song and dance 12 years ago. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    No. But it does mean it is likely you ain't right.

    Were you one of those millions of folks who were in favor of the Iraq invasion before they were against it? "Likely" doesn't mean anything.
