And remember, you aren't just refusing to qualify yourself to me, you are refusing to do it for anyone who reads this forum. You hold yourself up as some sort of expert on what foreign policy is best for America but you refuse to even state your qualifications to provide such "advice", we'll call it. So, it is not only me you are contemptuous of (somehow, I'll try to survive), it is anyone who would read this forum and might be swayed in one direction or the other. If your cause was truly important to you, you would explain why anyone should listen to your opinion. However, you feel no need to do that because we're all turds...do I have it right?
Wrong again. It internet claims meant anything Jack Hershey would be a trillionaire. People who don't take what they read here based on the content itself are fools. If you want to believe a bunch of bullshit, knock yourself out.
Here on planet Earth, I stick to the truth. Not convenient lies that make us feel good about ourselves. Like Ron Paul, I do not believe that Al Qaeda was justified in the 911 attack. But like Ron Paul, I realize that <i>in their own minds</i> the leadership of Al Qaeda considered themselves to be justified due to: 1. Our keeping military bases in Saudi Arabia. 2. Our sanctions against Iraq that had resulted in the deaths of thousands of Iraqis. 3. Our one sided support of Israel no matter what they do to the Palestinians. (Cue in Trader666's accusation of anti-Semitism.) The fact is that our interventions inspire blow back, sometimes highly disproportionate to whatever we did. The Swiss have about as much freedom as we do. If the Islamists merely hate our freedoms, why didn't they attack the Swiss? And if the neocons love our freedoms, why did they give us the TSA and the Patriot Act?
Reminds me of traveling. Every bar overseas seems to have an ex-pat Brit who claims to be ex-SAS and reminds everyone of it repeatedly. Its a running joke in southeast asia. Everytime you repeat "chicken hawk" you look a little less intelligent. Just sayin'.
Yeah, Brits talk a lot of sh*t. Also, sayin' a thing doesn't necessarily make it true. Seems to me we have quite a few chicken hawks running around these parts...all day long cluck cluck clucking about war and how we should wage it left right and sideways...without the foggiest notion of what it means to be in combat...completely disconnected from the reality of it...bottom feeders who advocate spending our soldiers lives like it was a fiat currency. I think it is important that people realize the cost of these decisions is measured in human lives, misery and suffering. We should not take them lightly or mock them. We should not pretend we are playing Call of Duty. In combat, there are no save points.
Well in my humble opinion DAS Trader clearly won an argument Other guys just started insulting and personal attacks which indicates that argument probably should be over. I think there is no need to insult Ron Paul or his supporters if you don't like their ideas, everyone has right to its own opinion and everyone should respect that. And forbidding candidate from debate because you don't like his ideas is really stupid - then you will have all candidates that basically agree with each other on everything but minor points.. Ironically I guess Taliban or Al Qaeda or some dictator in Africa or middle east also have such strong beliefs and hate other opinions with same passion Don't you become one you hate most?
Maybe you should go on an apology tour to beg Islamofascists' forgiveness for our past and get from them what our national security interests in the Middle East should be, who are acceptable allies, and where we can have military bases.
How do you know what others' experiences are? You don't. You're the one making claims and maybe yours should be questioned. How do we know you're not talking shit like this scumbag?

Map of Ottoman Empire just like Roman and all the others. They all lose in the end. USA will lose in the end and be broken up into separate countries And YOU ARE AT FAULT, stupid people like you that don't want to respect your neighbor You think we in Taiwan love you, we know you are back stabbing bastards. You are descendants of British and we know what foxy liars they are. http://www.allaboutturkey.com/img/ottoman-empire-1580.gif
