That picture is a piece of crap and i would use it to wipe my fucking ass and the people that believe what it says can kiss it!
That picture is bullshit propoganda for one reason as lifeguard pointed out. Secondly iraq deserves what they get because they did some horrible things in kuwait and have a madmen as a leader. Also as far as vietnam, while i felt we were stupid for going in the war to get ourselves killed and am against us ever having gone there for SELFISH reasons but our GOAL was with good intentions at least.
FUNNY HOW I DON"T SEE A FUCKING PICK OF BIN LADEN ON THERE OR THE WORLD TRADE CENTER OR PENTAGON BEING BLOWN UP!

Let me put it to ya this way....
my mom is a flight attendant for American Airlines and worked the same flight that crashed into the WTC...she worked it on 9/10...so she came 1 day away from being killed by those motherfuckers...so hey YJ has his opinion about things... I personally think its funny to hear him rant and rave about our government...for me I like hearing things from multiple points of view...so YJ is just another facet on the diamond.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion....including all the people that Washington, Jefferson...etc....and Bush have put to death.

Ah, allow me to retort.
Iraq has killed thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of its own people, namely, the Curds. Take a look at the videotape of all the women who died in the streets, with their children in their arms, all killed by nerve toxins made and launched by, you guessed it, Saddam.
Sure, let's sit back, ignore it, and let the rest of the world handle it. None of our business, right?? I believe that's what we did during the majority of WWII, is it not, when Jews were being exterminated by the millions? Perhaps if we had acted sooner, we could have prevented much future bloodshed. So you see, thousands of lives of the enemy now, saves many more, on every side, in the future. A no brainer, IMO.
And weapons of mass destruction or not, Saddam has repeatedly breached every resolution passed by the UN, and repeatedly provoked war. That, coupled with the oppression and killing of his own people, is more than enough reason to take him out.
As for Bush being a terrorist, absurd. How many of our people has he had gassed or exterminated?? None. Has he planned unprovoked attacks on civilians in other countries?? Nope.
Let's look at what he has done. He and his war planners have taken GREAT care in the War On Terrorism, to greatly mimimize civilian casualties. Precision-guided bombs, sattelite intelligence, and so on, not only aided in a quick, decisive victory in Afghanistan, but also cut down GREATLY the number of accidents and civilian casualties. Hardly the work of a terrorist. In addition to that, no other government in the world gives out as much foreign aid to just about any country that needs it. Again, hardly the work of a terrorist regime. He has taken a no nonsense, hardline approach to dealing with terrorism and protecting our interests, and well he should.
BTW, even if those death numbers are true (from Vietnam, etc.), Bush had nothing to do with them.

Maybe if we would have ignored it, we would still have 2 large buildings in New York and 1,000s of more lives in this country huh? Now everyone here livesi n fear of another attack, and they blame the Al Queda. If it were not for the precious, clueless president of this country, you wouldnt have to live in fear.
So I ask you this.... who are we to interject? Oh thats right, the ruler of the free world
He hasnt? He didnt drop those mysterious bombs a few months ago that landed in a civilian camp and I think I remember killing members of a wedding in a foreign country? Planned or not, attacks against a country in YOUR BEST INTEREST is terrorism. We all know why he wants a war with Iraq, not because they have weapons of mass destructions (because they dont, or so our OWN inspectors say) its because Saddam threatened the life of his father....
No he didnt then, but he's doing the same thing as they formers were. Hes sticking his nose where it does not belong, sending US troops over there to be killed. What a stand up guy.

What do you expect? No problems at all? Perfection? Not going to happen. There are always going to be those unfortunate people who are killed, raped, etc., and there's nothing you can do to completely prevent or stop that. These are the problems we face in a society where freedom is placed very highly, because freedom and order are inherently opposed to one another. There are always going to be the idiots out there. Some sort of balance has to be aimed for. Again, no way to be perfect.
As for sticking our nose where it doesn't belong, our nose belongs anywhere where our national interests are threatened, whether it be a safety issue of our citizens, economical, or what have you.
Ignore a problem? What good does that do? Eventually, it will spread to you, and oftentimes, it is too late, by that point, to do anything about it.
I'm paraphrasing, but all that is necessary for the forces of evil to win, is for enough good men to do nothing. Remember that.
So I ask you this.... who are we to interject? Oh thats right, the ruler of the free world
First of all, as I said, anytime our interests are threatened, we have a right to intercede. Second, it is not just us who would intercede, but a global coalition through the UN. We are not the only ones that wish to see this man and regime go.
First, if they were civilians, it was not intentional. Come on, man, if he was really a terrorist and wanted to harm others he'd break out the nukes, or other serious weapons.
Terrorism is a violent means to intimidate a country into doing something that you want. That is different than war. Certainly, civilians die in war, and there's nothing you can do to completely prevent that. It is very unfortunate. However, some things must be done.
He doesn't want a war with Saddam simply because Saddam made an attempt on Bush Sr.'s life. Before 9/11, Georgie didn't really give a rat's ass about Saddam. At least, not like he does now. That is because he now sees what a threat extremist states and organizations from that part of the world are.
Assuming there is a war, it is HIGHLY unlikely that many of our troops will be killed. Our soldiers are just too highly trained, and our technology is just too advanced.
On the other side, it is also highly unlikely that many of the Iraqis will be killed. The majority of his armed forces are likely to surrender in the face of a superior enemy, and due to careful planning, civilian casualties will also be cut down a great deal.

And living in isolation isn't going to work; remember WW2? Anyway, we need to react with force, becuase the worst thing we can do is to sit back and take it like that faggot clinton did.

How do I address this topic? I have a strong thought process when dealing with issues of international doctrine and military intervention. I may be a bit biased...
What do I think? There is a concept most in the medical community are familiar with that is called triage (French for sort) that mandates the most help for those that will benefit and sacrificing the few to have more warm bodies at the end. In the case of Saddam Hussein, the soldiers that will fall shall save others in the future. Does anyone else remember that he gasses his own people? This type of savage leadership shows blatant disregard for human value and should be acted on by not only the US but also the international community. Is he a terrorist? Only to his own people...
So, is Bush a domestic terrorist? I believe the intent of his new doctrines, cabinets, bureaus, and approval of snooping techniques (to be inclusive of electronic monitoring) are honorable but the implementation will no doubt be interpreted very liberally. This may lead to a deprivation of freedoms we took for granted in the past but will provide a greater shield from future attacks. Where is the middle ground between providing a safe way of life and depriving the quality of that life that is so characteristic of American ideology? This will be debated greatly by the leaders of this nation in the coming years so it will be intersting to see where the hammer falls.
The difference between the citizens of this country being raped, homeless, murdered, starved, and generally violated and Iraq is that over here our government is actually trying to STOP it and NOT sanction or perpetrate it.
For the record, an anti-government view is acceptable as a right to individual opinion...this is the idea that the nation was founded on. I do not support this view as I have fought for that flag that so many take for granted and know the luxuries that we enjoy here.
No doubt YJ's post was meant to provoke thought and provide an alternative view to mainstream thinking. The mind is like a book...it can only be used when it is open. Think critically of this post and see the side of those affected by US international doctrine.

I just feel that you should take care of your own before you attempt to straigthen out the world. And you might say he is taking care of his own by doing whatever he's *talking* about doing. No. Its in his best interest. He's pissed off at the world because they got us. Yep, for once we DIDNT win. We were assaulted on our playing field. Another country came in, killed thousands of people and he cant handle it. Why not? Got me, hell this country seems to go in to some other country and invade it every year. So he's looking for a stress reliever because this all happened ON HIS watch and that makes him weak. When your own are thriving and successful, then worry about the rest of the country and aiding them and feeding them and keeping their country safe, until them mind your own business and concentrate on what you have to do to keep your job.
Face it, our interests arent being threatened, this isnt about our interests, this is aobut Bush's self-gratification. Bin Laden killed Americans, fine go kill him. Dont take it out on every country that opposes. We're shutting down North Korea's nuke plants.....might threaten the world, yet we are allowed to brew and create them? Ha, what kind of fucking country is this? Who are we? Why can be do things and other country's can? We like being the big dog huh? Letting everyother country know we're the **** and they're petty no ones. Bush's time as well as this country's is coming very soon....
Ignoring problems you have nothing to do with keeps your focus where it belongs. Doing a job the American people elected you to do (although he wasnt elected, he was given the job).
Good men do nothing. Ignorant men participate.
Oh innocent people were killed... oh well **** it, we'll call in an accident. Maybe North Korea feels threatened so they're pulling out their nukes? Oh wait, they cant, we're shutting them down.
Then we're terroists because we threatened force against N. Korea if they didnt shut down there potential products of weapons of mass destructions. And if they didnt, you better believe we'd bomb them, so thats terrorism my friend. Restricting another country's ability to defend themselves, thats also very cowardly.
If Anyone [b/] dies, thats 1 too many for a cause we have nothing to do with. I hear everyday about our highly trained military crashing a helicopter and killing 4 or 5 people.
Bush doesnt give a **** about the commoner's best interest, only his. Everyone knew that before he was GIVEN the job. He tried to play hardass as Texas' governor thats why Gore won this election, but because of the communist electoral college, Bush is our new "leader". If Bush keeps on at this rate, this "superior" country will be very weak, look what a couple of planes did, crushed this nation. Imagine what a couple hundred would do. If he continues to look into only his best interests, lives and our "Superiority" WILL be compromised.

Preventing future attacks and setting the world's woes in order are two very different things. Bush has never said that he's going to heal the world, or that he can heal America from all woes, as that is impossible, what he has said he intends to do is invalidate the the threat that is Saddam. Saddam is a threat to the US and other peoples of the world, including his own, and that ONLY is the point of the US intervention that appears to be soon upon the horizon. The US/Worlds woes and crime and preventing another attack are not even remotley related to each other.

He is taking care of his own, to the best of his ability and the powers delegated to the president. BTW, criminal matters such as murder, rape, etc. are largely the job of state and local governments, not the federal government, and not the president.
You're absolutely right he's pissed. Fuckin' idiot terrorists killed thousands of our people. I'd say he has a right to be mad, because some 3000 of his fellow citizens were murdered in such a horrid way. I tell ya', I'm pretty pissed, too!
We don't go and invade another country unless we feel there is a damn good reason. Have we made mistakes before? Sure. We recognize those mistakes, learn from them, and try not to repeat them.
Our country IS thriving and successful. Don't think so? Try living in Afghanistan. You'll quickly learn what success is. In order to keep this success, he must do his best to prevent those that are jealous of our wealth from harming us.
Our interests aren't being threatened? I'd say when 19 idiots take out two buildings, along with some 3000 people, our interests are threatened.
It's not about self-gratification. It's about preventing another atrocity such as the one we saw on 9/11.
We are allowed to keep nukes because we won't misuse them, unlike other radical governments.
That's where you're wrong. It does have to do with us. Anything anti-Western has to do with us, because we are basically the Mecca of Western Civilization. Saddam is anti-U.S., and there are many other radical governments and organizations that are just as bad, if not worse.
He was elected to do this job. Foreign affairs is part of the president's job.
The common man does nothing, the good, rational man acts in a rational manner to combat the problem.
Nah, ignorant men don't participate. They are naive, think that it is everyone else's problem, and think they are safe. They do not see the consequences of doing nothing is far greater than doing something.
Call it an accident, maybe because it was an accident? Dude, if Bush wanted, he could go apeshit and destroy every other country out there.
North Korea is an extremist state, and a failed state, I might add, that is anti-U.S. That is a threat.
Threatening of force is not terrorism. Terrorism is the use of force to intimidate a nation.
A country can defend itself properly without developing nukes.
See above. It does have to do with us.
Bush's best interest is to do what the majority of the American people want, in this case, fight terrorism. Otherwise, he'll be out in '04.
This nation was weak, in that we were naive. Now we know better, and we are only getting stronger. This nation is far from crushed.

So other countries dont have the right to be pissed at him and the US? Scroll back up and look at the number of lives we've taken, you expect other countries to sit there and take it because we're the "supreme dominate country" At least the Al Queda is doing something to make the playing field fair.
Every time we've invaded a country its been pointless and all for not, jsut got a few hundred troops killed here and there, no big deal, he doesnt care, its not his life.
If we were truly thriving and successful, we wouldnt be trying to step on other countries for petty reasons. The reason we are doing well is BECAUSE of those other countries that provide us with the necessities we need to live and what do we give them in return? Some products and a couple missles.
I agree and maybe Bush should think about this next time he wants to attack another country, he might win the battle, but he'll NEVER win the war. Theres too many countries that hate us now and out to get us or aid those who will get us..... we'll have Bush to thank in a couple years
Whos to say we wont misues them? And if we did say that, who would stop us? No one. We're the big dog of the world and we want it to be known, thats lame. Who's to judge a radical goverment? I think our government is radical? Everyone is so blind by what they here on television and what theyre being told by our goverment.
LoL...theres a hundred countries that are Anti-US. Even the UN is backing out, everyone's tired of our ****. Tired of our desperation to get back the respect we lost when we lost the Trade Centers. Get over it, they got the better of us. End of story. If anyting it should open the goverment's eyes to listen to them. That was the whole point anyways. Instead of listening, Bush is out to kill more people, like a 6 year old on the playground. You're not going to win the world's favortism by bombing and raiding them
And what a great job he's doing. "If they dont agree with us, we'll just kill some of their people and threaten their rights and ability to defend themselves"
So uhhh......any idea why we have them?
This nation is still weak, always will be. Bush keeps making enemies for us and we'll have to reap the concenquesnces of HIS actions and thats bullshit. Thats what this lovely goverment is doing for us all. We elected Gore and got Bush and look what he's doing for us? We're living in fear because of that piece of ****.

YJ I really have to agree with you.
In the last century the US has really messed its self up. We've concerened our selves with foreign matters while allowing our country to go to hell. Right now were throwing sh*t at Afghan and Iraq claiming they are dangerous and worthy of war but not to long ago we were praising these countires and **** over weapons by the shipful in our war againsts the commies and other countries. Had we never got involved in Iran or felt like arming the Taliban to fight the Soviets we wouldn't have these problems to clean up.
Also if we wished to imporve the quality of life in the US, statistically terrorism would be a very low priority. But no one gets political prestige from improving health, controlling alcohol and smoking, or making safer auto transportation, they get it from bombing the hell our of country just to waste a few $bil. and create a few a new enemies.
IMO the US could use a few decades of isolationism, just get things in order within the borders and then we can worry about a few rats running around in the desert.
