nice example and for that occasion described you are very right. but i think that you can't compare a burglar at a lonely street with the happenings in a whole world.

for your example you are right and i would be happy but this is the whole world and some higher standards should apply. it is a different picture.
So are you saying that in the situation above the percieved threat was sufficient to warrant the action, but the percieved threat of Sadam did not?

yes, that is exactly what i am saying.

saddam was a very evil person to his and other people, but he was not standing in front of the US trying to play the robber from your story.

and as i said, we are talking different leagues and different standards apply.

How many fingers am I holding up? Not sure? How can you be sure of what Sadam's intentions were?

He preached an awfull lot of anti-american retohric. 9/11 demonstrated that people who make verbal threats against America may be quite capable of carrying those threats out.

I'm not saying it is right, I'm just saying that none of us can say what would have been, and none of us will every know all the information the decisions were based on.

right and exactly as nobody knows what really would have happened or not happened i think it is not right to go in there and do it as a prevention. just in case you know? maybe there were other ways? ways that the US government did not consider to be successfull but indeed could have been? we don't know...we just don't know....

the only thing we can do now is stand together hoping that the past will not turn out as a bad future and still then we all could not tell how future would have looked like with another sort of approach. this damn horse is dead and burried and rotted....

Ok guys, I am no longer posting on this topic. It is very emotional to a lot of people as you can see and we are not accomplishing anything. I am sorry if I offended anyone, it was not my intent. Those that supported me in my posts, thank you. The war is over!
I hope that we can discuss these things in a manner that does not cause Big Daddy or anyone else to refrain from expressing their feelings. Big Daddy and I do not agree on some things, but I respect his opinion and his right to voice it. I will continue to engage him and others on such topics, and I hope that I can heed my own advice in doing so.

I am dying to talk about the end game and how we get out of the Middle East. I also want to talk about the parallels to Vietnam. It is okay if you don't agree with me. As long as you approach it in a respectful manner, I promise I won't try to embarass you or make you look like a fool. I simply ask the same in return. [thumb]

Open dialogue and content are what we need. Yes, I talk a good game and all, but I am not always right. No one is.

no.. I have a very "unique view of this world"... as my political science teacher said after we argued with him over racism/politics for about an hour after class... such as a thing that I believe in that when you learn about racial differences it actually causes it... among others.

My african-american political science teacher was shocked when I said that.

Think of this:

Young boys and girls play with each other and see themselves completely equal.. it is when their biological clock / society makes them learn about their differences do they "stick" with the same gender. By "sticking" to people similar to themselves they alianate from the opposite sex and put the opposite sex on a different level. Thus treating them differently...

Same this with racism..

ADMIN GODS forced me to remove it. I guess I had it for such a long time that I never really noticed or cared for it [hihi] You think they will like a dancing Vag$na better? [confused]
