Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

"My point was that our vital interests should be our guiding light."

And that is exactly what is wrong with America, spearheaded by the republiklan party.

There was a time when our guiding light was Christ, who did not look upon people according to geographic lines, but rather as all being children of God. There was a time when principles mattered.

Now the guiding light is capitalism and self centeredness.

It's Democrats who want religion out of public life and who make fun of Bush's faith. Suddenly you want our policies guided by Christ? Of course, liberals have an interesting way of interpreting the Bible, so that homosexual conduct is ok and Jesus endorses high taxes and socialism.

Why is it that Democrats object to using the military when our vital interests are at stake but are all for nation-building exercises in Haiti, Bosnia or Somalia? Is it somehow more noble to get killed in a dispute over which corrupt dictator will run some third world country than in defending our country's vital interests? That seems to be the Democrat approach.

They want us to leave within a year....we should leave by Monday. They have demonstrated they are incapable of peaceful living. They are split into two groups, as all Muslims appear to be. They're either hell bent on killing each other, or they stand aside and watch it happen without making any effort to stop the killing. They weren't worth the first American life lost, let alone thousands. I'd happily pay 10 bucks a gallon for gas while watching the entire mideast go up in flames. Fuck'em!

Really? How many civil wars, suicide and car bombs were there in Iraq before the invasion?


Fuck em? I thought that the offical line is that you are liberators who is paving the way for democracy in the middle east, to bring freedom, becuase you care deeply about this and are willing to spend your tax dollar on them? Is this not the case? Please explain the reality, vs. the offical line,


Are you saying that Bush is expending and wasting american soldiers lives when we send them over there to liberate?
Is this a crime in your opinion? More importantly, will he listen to you if you and a majority disagree with him?

Can you think of any time in the past where he has asked for, or listened to, or respected the majorities' opinion? Your thoughts?

Are you implying that Iraq was some type of Shangri-la? They've been slaughtering each other for centuries.

That's the Presidents party line, not mine. We should have bailed as soon as it was apparent there were no WMD's.

Yes! Lives are being wasted. Crime? I don't know yet. Really stupid...for sure. I doubt he will listen to any opposing view. He is stubborn to the point of absolute stupididty.

He asks but does not really care to hear opposing views.
The point of my intial post is that the people of Iraq and Muslims in general have demonstarted that they are incapable of sustaining any kind of peace among themselves, regardless of who happens to be in charge. Why waste lives trying to save these fools from themselves? Why should Americans be at war with each other over this? What's needed is a totally united, all American, FUCK YOU, to the whole god damn middle east.
