GUEST,Oldguy BS: Actions to promote peace (144* d) RE: BS: Actions to promote peace 07 Mar 03


Tia:

"Now, please drop the silly madrasa metaphor. By repeating it, you appear to be doing precisely the rocking and chanting that you accuse others of."
I will stick with my metaphor as long as the peaceniks keep ignoring that facts.

Did you hear on the news that the military is laying out the plans of where to drop what size and type of bomb? 90% will actually be guided munitions, not bombs.

They are using a computer simulation to pick the correct size and type of bomb to drop on each military target so as not to destroy the civilian population. The bombs have an accuracy now if one meter (39"+-)

This hardly sounds like a chant to me. It sounds like good sense and compassion. Have you heard the Former Iraqis on TV today saying that the US should liberate Iraq and explaining the torture that goes on there?

It sounds like something worth watching and thinking about but the peaceniks reflexively come back with "thousands of bombs being dropped on innocent people".

You flip on the TV and you see people marching and want to be part of the crowd that goes against the leaders of the government because it seems cool so you want to be part of the crowd.

I have not heard anybody acknowledge the American revolutionary war. Perhaps the peaceniks don't want to admit that it happened, what happened and what the results were.
