]I think people like Rick for instance, deserve better than to be cannon fodder for one of Negroponte's death squads.
Doesn't it? Which is the mindless part? That they were singing carols and exchanging gifts? Or that they were killing each other the next day?
You should be on a war front somewhere. All those who advocate war should.
OK I am not discussing any particular war but all wars in which I repeat
"But the participation isn't mindless its voluntary. WW2 was relevant wasn't it? All the wars are relevant when the men participating can lose life and limb."
This still holds regardless of whatever gifts were exchanged.
If I were on the warfront somewhere I would be helping someone like my man Ricky!
Which men will lose life and limb? The leaders or the foot soldiers?
Why aren't you there helping him?
So its the foot soldiers and civilians then who lose life and limb. Whats relevant about war if they don't participate?
Lets just say that all the people who did not volunteer for the occupation did not lose limb nor life and also did not kill any civilians.
So they are the ones who reduce the relevance of such adventures for the leaders that promote them.
Yeah everyone remembers what happened the last time there was a draft.
Would you support a draft if they were "needed"?
Because there are sufficient volunteers. Q.E.D.
Yes, it does, actually. A good share of it, anyway.ricky said:Don't you find it even remotely interesting that car bombings only occured in Iraq after the US invasion [just like the suicide bombings] and only after Negroponte took command?

Oh, not in the way you find it interesting. But does that make it our fault that arabic people kill each other?
You mean with religious justifications, no?SAM said:Its very simple. When was the last time an Arab/Islamic country invaded another for religious reasons?
