No, it's a historical fact, that Allied Forces brought down so much pain on the German people that Facism is illegal. The, "zeig heil", thing? Yeah, it's a crime to execute that salute. We should have brought down the same amount of pain in Iraq and Afghanistan, so as to make, "al Qaeda", a dirty word.
If you can't handle historical relevancy, then prhaps you should find something else to do with your spare time, other than debating politics online.
What you're leaving out is that, by and large, individual soldiers serving under the Nazi flag had all sorts of uniforms, decals, equipment, and a bunch of other things identifying them as Nazi soldiers.
The insurgents do no such thing.
The only way to bring down that kind of hurt on them would be to indiscriminately slaughter civilians alongside the insurgents, thus manufacturing more insurgents as we go.
Ergo, a terrible comparison.
We do? Please, show how we suck at it. Can't wait to hear how you explain to us how American soldiers suck at defeating the enemy.
Iraq.
There, that was fast. :lol:
So, you'll support a pre-emptive strike by any president--regardless of political persuasion--based on the intel that he has at that time? Be honest!
Honestly, not all the time. If the threat is the kind of thing where to make a mistake is to mean the certain death of hundreds of thousands of Americans (nuclear of biological attack) then definitely. If not, then definitely not -- there are more intelligent ways to handle
that kind of threat than beating them to the punch.
Ok, you've said it, but you've never once--that I've seen--taken a Right Wing stance on anything.
If you haven't seen me do it, that's really not my fault. It's happened often enough.
Judging from your monicker, I'm guessing you're a big time 2nd Amendment guy, but I think that's where you're Right Wing'ness ends.
My moniker has nothing whatsoever to do with my politics, but I appreciate the effort.
I simultaneously believe the Constitution was one of the best governmental structures ever invented, and that it had just as many flaws as the founders that put it together.
I think we need a much smaller government, but I also think we need to work our way there.
I think that the Republicans and Democrats are equally to blame for the mess we're in, and I'm sick and tired of the two major parties getting away with having a veritable monopoly on political power from coast to coast.
I don't think the Tea Party movement is the answer to that conundrum, but I applaud the sentiment.
Ta-da!
