White Shogun said:Maybe I would if I was still young enough. The truth is you don't know whether I'm in the military, have served in the military in the past, or have family currently serving.
And I don't care. It's time that the internationalists/ interventionists/ imperialists fight their own battles.
White Shogun said:Most of the posts I've read here denigrate the military for being an arm of the pro-Zionist U.S. government anyway, and you don't seem to support those who serve in it.
I don't support a potential war in Iran, and that means I don't support the soldiers? Who are you, Karl Rove???
White Shogun said:If thats the case, what do you care if we go to war with Iran anyway?
Well, for one, it'll cost hundreds of billions of dollars. That money, and manpower, could be used for much better purposes, like securing our borders. Do you know that Bush's proposed 2007 budget will be around 2.7-2.8 trillion dollars? Including big increases for the military. Furthermore, we'll most likely fail in Iran, just like we're failing in Iraq.
White Shogun said:You guys seem to think that one must be anti-Israel or anti-Muslim but cannot be both. Well, if I had to describe my position, I'd say I am both anti-Israel AND anti-Muslim.
I am, too. But what about people like Bush and Gingrich who are itching for war with Iran? Your interpretation of the situation is obviously not theirs.
White Shogun said:But I don't think the United States and the West should allow nations that are obviously hostile to the West to build nuclear weapons.
"Allow them?" Who are we, the Global Police? Does national sovereignty mean nothing to you?
White Shogun said:They hate the West because, pick one: we're secular; we're Christian; we're wealthy; or, my personal favorite - we're not Muslim.
Religion is a big part of it. But there is a clear link between suicide terrorism and military occupation. It's a combination of their religious fanaticism, our support of Israel, and our military presence in the Middle East. We should end Muslim immigration, stop supporting Israel, withdraw our military from the Middle East, and defend ourselves from terrorist attacks. But that'll never happen.
White Shogun said:Let's say we do not intrude on Iran's plans to build nuclear weapons. Do you think they will use them in self-defense? Only against Israel? Is it okay if they hit Europe, as long as the United States is not affected by fallout or are not ourselves a direct target of a ballistic missle?
If the European countries can't defend themselves, that's their problem. But who needs bombs when there's immigration and high birth rates? (And rioting.) Just like the Hispanics in the Southwest, they can take over without firing a shot... or pressing the button.
It's a different kind of war.
