again its fine for you to take this is moral high ground but you are not the one who will be put in harms way when the Islamic world reacts to events like this. Its not even a case of being "bullied" its just common sense.
You are saying
you want people to be ruled by fear of what the bully will do if you anger the bully.
You are saying
you do not want the bully to stop being the bully.
You are saying
you do not care if the bully is given the freedom to continually be the bully.
You just want the bully to leave you alone.
Only, the bully is not going to leave you alone no matter what you do or don't do, because
the bully doesn't want to be nice.
The bully
wants you to continue to fear him.
The bully
wants to control you. . . and you're letting him. The bully's
mission is being accomplished because you're too afraid to stand up to the bully.
That's where the US soldier comes into the mix. We stand up to the bully. We're like the referee on the game field, the tough guy who stands up for the little kid on the playground.
Don't you want your loved ones to be
free from the bully?
If you cared about them at all then your answer should be
yes. Your answer should be,
yes, I want the bully to be stopped, ended, thwarted, and overthrown.
But you're not talking peace and freedom, you're talking continuing the tyranny by kissing the bully's arse.
To add:
You're exactly wrong - I am
directly affected.
How on
earth can you support something that will kill your loved ones because of what one person on the other side of the world does? How can you just
tolerate that hanging over your head? Why aren't you
standing up and putting a bullet in the bully's head to protect your loved one's?
If I had some gang in my country ruining my life I would not just sit by, I wouldn't want to raise my children, and my grandchildren, in such deplorable conditions - telling them to 'shh, be quiet and the bad guy will look the other way.' I would fight and die if I had to - if it would make a difference.
What's wrong with you?
If the people who wanted this so-called peace stood up for them selves and actually did something about it the US then everyone else wouldn't have to constantly step in and police the world.
But, sorry, we do, because we don't want our countries to be taken over by the same spineless, gutless inaction that has sent the rest of the world into the pit. We refuse to let such tripe control us in that way, and you should too.
If you actually cared.
Quit making others into the scapegoat, it's bull****.
