Thread Name: War (against countries that support terrorism)
Subject: RE: WAR.........
I know, let's move in some "golden arches" and some "W-marts!" Then, these guys will learn to love Americans. No problem has ever been solved through armed conflict. Hmmm?

This debate upon who is a terrorist and who is the enemy is rhetoric. In the eyes of the world, people are judged by the actions of their nations. Seems the bad is always the focus. This 35 some odd year war needs to end. Sadly, we can not remain nutural. Should we have merely watched as Japan attacked Hawaii (which wasn't even a state then)? Gee, why did they do this? Let's talk about it.

Gen. MacArthur: "The soldier above all wishes to avoid war, for they must bear it's deepest wounds."

Now be polite:)

I know the popular media image of military people is that they are warmongers. I never met one.

If these people and governments in other nations are interested in freedom and prosperity they will shut the terrorists down. How would the U.S. react to her citizens going out and committing atrocities in other nations? Would she ask why? No, she would say, "you can't do this," and end it.
