Quote from Trader666:
DAS your question is idiotic because of course nobody likes it but that doesn't mean we shouldn't ever do it. Do you think we shouldn't have fought WWII because bombings pissed off the enemy? Are Germany and Japan still our enemies?
I didn't ask if you would like it, I asked what you would do about it. I ask this question because it is a question we force many people to answer when we 'accidentally' kill their relatives. Since you still haven't answered it, I will pose the question, yet again. If another nation's military was hunting terrorists, and they mistakenly blew up your house, what would you do about it?
Now, a chicken hawk like you might not do anything, but people who care about their families may be driven to take up arms. It is in this way we created terrorists. That is not Americas fault, or the fault of the average American, that is the fault of our failed leadership.
Quote from Trader666:
Are you implying we shouldn't go after Al-Qaeda or those who've supported or harbored them because it might anger Islamofascists? One of you idiots made the analogy of poking a hornet's nest with a stick. I say, the problem is the hornets and instead of a stick we should spray them with gasoline and set them on fire.
Are you really so naive that you think it's OK for Iran to have nuclear weapons?
Should we go after our own creation? I think most experts are on record as saying Al Qaeda is all but ineffectual, their leaders have mostly been assassinated, and they are operationally sedentary. Bin Laden is dead. We were placed on this war footing for the sole purpose of getting those who visited 9/11 on us and we seem to have accomplished that.
Now it is time to return to our constitutional roots and take care of our own country. You may not be aware, but America is over 15 trillion in debt. This is no longer a question of should America be the world's policeman...that question has been rendered moot by the reality of we can no longer afford to do so.
Also, I do think it is ok for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Although I would prefer a world where no one had nukes, I realize this will never happen (at least until the human race evolves to the point where we are all able to perceive our connection to each other).
If I were Iran, I would definitely want one because it would ensure that neither Israel nor America attacked me. It may not be desirable for Israel to have to compete with a nuclear power that doesn't like them but that's Israel's problem, not Americas. Israel has nuclear icbms and submarines and so is more than capable of taking care of itself. Seriously, does Israel need America to hold its hand? Also, if the theocratic government of Israel was not so keen on oppressing Muslims perhaps Iran would soften its stance towards them. Besides, last time I checked, Iran has invaded 0 countries.
Explain that moron.
