Since the world is exploding the question begs to be asked.
No. We are likely well into WWIV.

Putin is a Master only in a few right wing fearmongering minds. His epic move with the missiles into Ukraine is a REAL master stroke... :doh
BushII was the checker player in the crowd, and a piss poor one at that.
Putin is just playing with himself.... :roll:

I am not a pacifist. Care to try again?
Yes, if you neocons continue to hold empire and armed intervention as the necessary foundation of U.S. International policy.
If it walks like a duck a quacks like a duck its usually a duck.
Just as a side note, you don't have to be a pacifist to feel that WWIII is not imminent.
Are we on the precipice of poor spelling?
There were Democrats sitting in the White House when we found ourselves in WW l and WW ll.
I hope you pacifists are right and wish I was as sure as you.
We could have stayed out of WWI and there are quite a bit of historians who think if we had just let the Europeans slug it out amongst themselves WWII wouldn't have happened. But that is all supposition. As for WWII, Pearl Harbor was bombed and then a couple of days later Hitler declared war on us.
If old Bull Moose TR had of won in 1912, I doubt if he would have taken as long as Wilson to get us involved in WWI. But if Taft the isolationist had won in 1912, he would have kept it us out of WWI. But these are just my opinions.
Yeah, but did they start them.

World War Three began a long time ago, in the 1970s. It started when President Carter betrayed and abandoned the best ally we ever had in the Muslim-dominated world—the Shah of Iran—allowing the Khomeniacs to overthrow him and take over that nation. This is when the dangerous, toxic Islamist terrorists first gained control of the resources of an entire nation; from which to spread their poison across the rest of the Muslim world.
All of the trouble that we have had ever since with Islamist terrorist all goes back to that one tragic act of incompetence on Carter's part.
You only know that because Shrub showed..........:lamo
If you read my follow up post and if you're old enough to remember, during the 60's, 70's and 80's during Presidential elections it was always mentioned that Democrats had gotten America into two world wars and Korea and the Vietnam War would be added to the list during the 1968 Presidential elections.
BTW: Do you remember what the 1960 Presidential campaign was mostly about ? Who would be more aggressive stopping Communist expansion in the world, Nixon (Republican) or Kennedy( Democrat)
Americans were pretty split who would be better at the job and not turning the Cold War into a hot war. The voters went to the polls and along with the corpses from the Cook County cemeteries, JFK was elected. The rest is history.
Jesus, NP.Its amazing how you people are not concerned.....First of all we have a president who is totally incompetent especially when it comes to foreign policy.
Then we have the middle east exploding with Israel and the Arabs at each others throats. then we have the Russians and the Ukraine fighting with the Russians taking out passenger planes then we have Iran trying to get a nuke...I haven't even mention North Korea....
Then we have a POTUS who is epitome of the Manchurian Candidate and is clueless.......Other then that everything is just fine. .I don't know what it takes to get you pacifists attention..
Or if a pacifist like you is in a state of denial like your type were in WW2.
I think Obama has a serious golf addiction. A lefty like Obama moving to a heavily conservative Rancho Mirage. :thinking
And Obama's Congressional Representative will be a Republican. :lamo
But Obama will have close to fifty different golf courses to play on.

Since most Americans think that we should have been involved in WW11, I fail to see how that was ever a fair criticism of democrats, just a cheap election time talking point. Had FDR done the right thing and stayed out, he would have been criticized as an isolationist by the right.
I'm just going to guess that might have had a lot to do with the selection of that area for a retirement home.
