the only way war can be ended forever is to fight together a war of peace...a war with our own selves...we need to convince ourselves that our prejudices are not worth the blood of another human.
Oh yes, the old Hippie mantra -- why can't we all just get along and love one another?". Turning the other cheek when there is a homicidal killer on the lose only gets you dead. Terrorists see that reaction as cowardice. Carter and Clinton tried that approach and we got 9/11. When your enemies do not hold life precious, that logic fails.
Then there is my old buddy Breezy whom I have debated a few times at Alli's place.
Here is a sample of her wisdom:
...bomb 'em all! Kill 'em, nuke 'em. Eradicate an entire population due to the fact that there are some radical killers in the population. I have to admit that I dont have the solution, but what is happening (and what you are calling for) is not the answer either. We started this mess A LONG TIME ago. If you do not recognize that, you are failing to look at the big picture.
It is all America's fault. Blame Bush/Hitler. The whole point of the post was that we are fighting a new kind of enemy. This is a war of culture, there is no compromise. They want YOU dead Breezy. They hate everything you stand for. America did not start this war. Do the Marine Barracks in Beirut, the USS Cole, the Achille Laro, the Hostages in Iran, the US Embassy in Tanganyika, the World Trade Center (twice)ring any bells? How are we responsible? If being the richest, freest, most generous, open minded nation on Earth offends these people so much, what are we to do? The Islamofascist will not be happy until we are living in the 8th Century as they do. Read the Koran, read Ibn Kaldun, the true faith says convert or die.
Read the linked article. These scum are targeting children. We must be prepared to go to any ends to eradicate this pest, because believe me, they are prepared to go all the way to get YOU.

Nope, they like me. They want YOU dead.
Im not saying that Bush is Hitler, so get over it. Im not saying this mess started when Bushy got into the white house, or his father either. Im talking about the politics that this country has used around the world for years. Who the hell put Saddam in power? Uh, that'd be us. Who the hell has put a lot of bad guys into power? Once again, the US.
I said flat out that I dont have an answer. But, has the violence lessened anyt since we invaded Iraq? Has anything calmed down? Has anyone learned a lesson from this? I just see billions upon billions of dollars being spent on this war that is causing the loss of innocent human life all over the place. I didnt support and I wont.
I agree Breezy, past governments of the US have caused some of the problems. Making our country appear weak like Carter and Clinton being chief issues. None of that past history changes the current situation. Could haves and maybes does not change the fact that there are people who are trying to attack the US, are targeting CHILDREN and civilians, possibly with Nukes. How far are we willing to go to defend ourselves? The only reason there was not a "hot" war with the USSR is the fact that they knew we would go to the ultimate extreme to defend ourselves (as would they). Do the terrorists believe that we are still prepared? Are they willing to risk their children, their mothers, their holy sites?
Uh, yeah, I believe they are risking their children, mothers and holy sites. have you seen any pictures of Iraq lately? Its a mess!
Uh-oh gotta go. more later
Surely you do must agree that the citizens of Iraq are better off? You are intelligent Breezy, do not by into the Michael Moore lies.
The muslims have been doing this since about 640AD. That's about 1,100 years before the US existed. I see no way in hell that a sane person could believe that 'we started it'
