		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Gordy&lt;/strong&gt;---Good...I am glad we agree that communism is/was a dead endâ€¦.but you missed my point---America could have remained neutral and just let the cards fall we they may haveâ€¦.you must admitâ€¦without Americas military build-up (post WWII) communism would have survived and spread much further than it didâ€¦

&lt;em&gt;where would America have developed alternate trade routes to Europe? Drop trade altogether?.....&lt;/em&gt;yesâ€¦.but againâ€¦america could have done something other than take military actionâ€¦.or supply those that were involved in warâ€¦

&lt;em&gt;Hitler offered America the ability to instantly surrender itself to him or he would go to war with it&lt;/em&gt;â€¦.goodâ€¦I am glad you are starting to see things clearlyâ€¦but here too, If america was not involved in trade with Hitlers enemies AND/OR allowed all the isolationists and anti-war factions to steer american policy----the world would be differentâ€¦.

&lt;em&gt;Alliances&lt;/em&gt;â€¦againâ€¦isolationists and anti-war (pacifist, too) factions wanted a much different approachâ€¦ the world would be different if america followed those pathsâ€¦.

&lt;em&gt;He wanted that war so badly, but it neednâ€™t have happened. War is expensive, it is the worst thing you can do and as such should always be a last resort, it should not be something you enter into lightly on maybes and could bes. It is something you enter into only when you are absolutely sure there is no alternative and that the threat is there.&lt;/em&gt;

Werent there numerous UN â€œactionsâ€ that supposedly gave Saddam an opportunity to come clean? I donâ€™t remember him ever doing thatâ€¦..you donâ€™t take a killers â€œwordâ€ on somethingâ€¦I agree---war is the LAST resortâ€¦I never said anything else----pre-emptive war is the last resort....it does matter if it is war or &quot;pre&quot;-emptive....

&lt;em&gt;Bush didnâ€™t even really try to find an alternative in Iraq&lt;/em&gt;â€¦..isnt the UN going to save the world? 

N&lt;em&gt;or would you have, with your tough guy idealogy and dreams of blowing up little kids to scare the fear of America into your enemies, you still agree with what he did. That is why I call you a hypocrit when you claim to hold human life sacred&lt;/em&gt;â€¦.dreams of blowing up little kids? This is where the lefties go/are crazy.. What do you think..I WANT to send my children to war? No no no no noâ€¦.but if they are called to service or volunteer then yes---they must serve our countryâ€¦..

&lt;em&gt;have seen America turn from the land of the free, where Atheists are accepted as Americans, where it is okay to be a liberal, to what you have now, NeoNazi propaganda where the Jews have been replaced with the left. Where no attempt at understanding what the left actually is has been madeâ€¦&lt;/em&gt;....I have no problem with atheists (I believe I was one for some time)â€¦..liberals? we always need different povsâ€¦I just believe the liberal pov is wrongâ€¦..I donâ€™t think you are evilâ€¦.that is were we differâ€¦.why do you think I am on this site? It IS an attempt to understand what you guys believeâ€¦.so far I have found an extreme amount of hate and foul language on YOUR (libs) part....

&lt;em&gt;Where it is worse to be a â€œLiberalâ€ then to be a child molester&lt;/em&gt;â€¦.where do you get your facts? who the hell said that? I think we can agree that is not true....

&lt;em&gt;The bill of rights is more then just a damn piece of paper, and that is something you will never understand&lt;/em&gt;â€¦..it also protects us all----but you guys here want me off the siteâ€¦.it is not me that does not follow the terms of agreement----it is your wacko leftiesâ€¦..

How did we get on this topic anyway? I will see you on other posts...</description>

		<description>Okay first off: I am a liberal. I have read up on history and guess what genius, communism didn&#039;t work. Doing the same stupid thing over and over again hoping for different results is not what liberalism is about.

As to the sinking of ships, that is pretext, that at least gave America a reason to get involved in WWI. America developing seperate trade routes? To where? World War One. Everyone with an interest in trade in Europe was involved, so tell me, where would America have developed alternate trade routes to Europe? Drop trade altogether? Even then America relied on a certain amount of import and export for its economy. 

Now onto WWII: Hitler offered America the ability to instantly surrender itself to him or he would go to war with it. Well, that doesn&#039;t sound like much of a choice to me, particularly seen as Hitler was never known for keeping his promises. There was no real choice.

Next up: Alliances. Guess what, if America signs a treaty, and an alliance is a treaty America has to honour that treaty otherwise nobody would ever sign a treaty with America. When Kuwait was invaded it gave America enough pretext for a war, and it was no pre-Emptive war. Hell I would argue that during the war when Israel bombed the shit out of Egypts troops mounting on its borders that was no pre-emptive war, it was a pre-emptive strike but it was clear that the intention to invade was there and no amount of negotiation was going to change that.

But when Bush took the unprecedented step in American history of launching a pre-emptive war against Iraq, he took a lot of guess work, some outright lies, and fiddled evidence into his arguments. He wanted that war so badly, but it needn&#039;t have happened. War is expensive, it is the worst thing you can do and as such should always be a last resort, it should not be something you enter into lightly on maybes and could bes. It is something you enter into only when you are absolutely sure there is no alternative and that the threat is there.

Bush didn&#039;t even really try to find an alternative in Iraq. Nor would you have, with your tough guy idealogy and dreams of blowing up little kids to scare the fear of America into your enemies, you still agree with what he did. That is why I call you a hypocrit when you claim to hold human life sacred.

We are seeing the same crap being spread about Iran now. Tell you what, five years ago and I would have believed you, but I have seen what has happened since then. I have seen America turn from the land of the free, where Atheists are accepted as Americans, where it is okay to be a liberal, to what you have now, NeoNazi propaganda where the Jews have been replaced with the left. Where no attempt at understanding what the left actually is has been made.

Where a opponent in a debate is automatically a &quot;Hater&quot; or a &quot;Moonbat.&quot; Where it is worse to be a &quot;Liberal&quot; then to be a child molester. Where disagreement and thought are termed weakness, and careless disregard for ones duty is strength. Where a president who has spent more days off in his reign then any president on record before him has, is termed a hard worker. Where you have your country being run like a company by a man who has never run a successful company.

Where it is more important to have a PR blitz on Katrina then it was to help the victims of Katrina. Where the President on 9/11 was praised for his strength, when what he really did was run and hide. He adressed the nation from a bunker. A president who was praised for his courage, and yet has  never trully admitted that he has been wrong on specific policies. This is an America where a patriot is a person who is willing to sacrifice everything his country stands for just to be kept safe.

The bill of rights is more then just a damn piece of paper, and that is something you will never understand.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Bruce Gorton&lt;/strong&gt;#105

Unlike what nearly all of the libs on this site do---I will explain and give detail/fact with my response...so please bare with me &lt;strong&gt;bruce gorton&lt;/strong&gt; since you did not do the research...


1.)American revolution....Americans were paying a fraction of the taxes that the citizens in England were paying....the citizens of america cry foul play when asked to help fund their own defense (fr and Ind war)---&quot;we dont have any representation you dont have the right to tax&quot;.....hum? nearly 1/3 of the polulation was not only against breaking away---they actually joined the royalist fight against the &quot;rabble&quot;....another 1/3 was &quot;neutral&quot;....there was a very small few that were actually willing (and chose) to fight (and even these are questioned with Paines famous â€œThe summer soldier and the sunshine patriotâ€)....the options? as MANY citizens of the time cried----King George is not that bad---monarchy is much better than an uncontrollable &quot;democracry&quot; with demigods and iconoclasts.....Delaware rarely sent anybody to the cont congress.....penn was controlled by quakers----that believe it or not werent so &quot;kind&quot; and &quot;helpful&quot; to the american cause....there was little unity in breaking away-----and many in the south referred to this as massachusetts fightâ€¦regardless----if the American citizens would have been content with their local ELECTED officials and the colonial governor---history would be different...america did not â€œhaveâ€ to fight off a King and Parliament...they just needed to pay their taxes...no?

2.)War of 1812...All america had to do was escort its merchant ships with naval vessals on their trips to europe to stop the impressment of sailors...opps, Thomas Jefferson decimated the navy so this was not an option...ok...all america had to do was re-call all its citizens west of the ohio river valley, opps they were making too much money...all america had to do was stop calling for an invasion of canada to retake one of its original lands...opps, the warhawks were all about the land($)â€¦..america did not â€œhaveâ€ to fight impressment or native americans in the western territories...islolation, bruce?

3.)Spanish American war...we agree on something...

4.)America could have chosen other trade routes...were the germans sinking ships in the northern pacific at this time? If so, please explain...America was not the economic power house that it would become after WWII----so----it was not as reliant upon Europe for trade as many would think...come on you should know this one-----ISOLATIONISM was phrase of the time...clearly america did not â€œhaveâ€ to goto to war...appeasement and isolationism saves lives, donâ€™t they?

5.)WWII Hitler offered america a deal...if followed america would be spared...they might live under das fuhrer but they would not â€œhaveâ€ to goto war...unfortunatley â€œlend-leaseâ€ basicallly meant that america was aiding germanys enemies...if no â€œlend-leaseâ€ who knows? Again...appeasement saves lives, doesnâ€™t it? We did not â€œhaveâ€ to stop a genocidal maniac...

6.)Korean Warâ€¦as &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; all think...communism isnt that bad...let south korea fall...we did not â€œhaveâ€ to attempt to stop the spread of communism...

7.)Vietnam...as above...

8.)Kuwait...you are big on alliances, huh? I would certainly want you on my team---but that is nowhere near reality---donâ€™t alliances mean you are fighting other peoples wars? We did not â€œhaveâ€ to stop a mad man from turning the middle east into even more of a hell-hole then it is, did we? We did not â€œhaveâ€ to attempt to stabiliaze an area that contains one of the worlds most valuable resources, did we? (yes oil, oil, oil, oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Now, I know that you might be saying these above points are foolish and unfounded (if you want me to cite anything in particular you will have to give me a moment to search my library)...but the point is...

We could remain isolationists---or even worse act as appeasers...what history has shown us is that neither of these two work when you are a world power and there are problmes that must be addressed......you must step in...you must act...does that make sense? We must act...we â€œhaveâ€ to act...

And I did all that without calling you a nasty name......it was not too hard....I am not a hater believe it or not.....but &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; guys...wow....hatred spews forth!!!!</description>

		<description>Immenent strike like bloody Iraq was a immenent strike? Every reason has been shot down.

Okay, wars in American History with other countries:

1: American revolutionary war: Pretty damn obvious as to why America got involved in that one.

2: 1812: America got involved in it mainly due to the fact that England had not declared peace or that the revolutionary war was over.

3: Spanish American War: Based off of a lie, true enough.

4: WWI: America got involved because the Germans were sinking American ships. Pretext pretty damn well laid.

5: WWII: America got involved because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour. As Hitler&#039;s Germany was allied to Japan, Hitler declared war on America soon after. Read that again Nazi Germany declared war on America, you didn&#039;t have much damn choice but to fight the Nazis.

6: The Korean War: America was allied to South Korea, and entered as allies against the Communist north.

7: The Vietnam War: As above.

8: The first Gulf War: America was allied to Kuwait and had a treaty with Kuwait stating that it would move in to the defence of Kuwait.

This is just off of the top of my head dickwad, so don&#039;t come to me with your &quot;America could have just stayed out of every war in history&quot; bullcrap. Read your own bloody history some time.</description>

Wars kill people you idiot. It is not something to take lightly, like it is some sort of game and you can bet those kids you probably refer to fondly as collateral damage didn&#039;t vollunteer. Of course seen as they aren&#039;t white Americans you don&#039;t really give a stuff do you? They aren&#039;t really people after all.

Pre-Emptive war, do you know what that even is? It is a war without a good reason. It is a war that is based on maybes, guesses, and lies. It is a bullshit war. If you have a good reason to go to war it is no longer pre-emptive, it is justified.</description>

		<description>Neocon - 

At post 64 you reiterate the entire point of this post. You said &quot;And of course I am for stem cell researchâ€”just without killing a life to save a lifeâ€¦..&quot;

That was GW&#039;s original argument. The point of this conversation is that they have found a way to get the stem cells without Harming the embryo. It can still be implanted in a woman and survive full term. 

This post describes the false logic that the President uses when he says he is still against Embryonic stem cell research even though he knows the embryos will be unharmed. 

It sounds to me like you are making the same illogical argument as the President. Against it when kills...against it when it doesn&#039;t kill. 

I of course don&#039;t think that 8 cells outside of a uterus is a life, but that is for a different argument on a different post.</description>
