well, my opinion is simple:
FREEDOM ISN'T FREE
During the American revolution, we were helped out by the French. We won in part because of French Aid to the revolutionaries. Because of this, our country is what it is today...the benchmark for freedom. It is our responsibilities as Americans to do what we can...we can not be SELFISH. Someday, that country that we help out may one day be our ally(Japan and Germany come to mind). If we choose to "let bygones be bygones" aren't we allowing "evil" things to occur? Imagine if we had let Hitler continue his rampage on Europe. Where would the US be today? Living in fear?

The notion that war never solved anything is childish and foolish.
As far as Iraq goes, they found terrorist training camps, evidence of planned attacks and the idiot was handing out money left and right to terrorist groups. What more do you want? Big deal, they managed to move the WMD's they did have elsewhere, the question should be where did they go?
Had we not attacked them it would have pretty much told the world "Yeah we're a bunch of saber rattling morons, attack us we won't do anything." What gives us the right to choose their new goverment? What gave them the right to plot against our country? You can have whatever goverment you want just don't threaten the USA. About bloody time we stopped acting like the UN controls us and acted in our own intrests.

Sounds to me we have a new 4rotorrocket

DRAGON I AGREE WITH YOU .....punks with no patriotism need to be sent to north Korea or have a rag or towel around his head and dropped off in iraq gaged with a tape recorder with the volume as loud as possible that says that he supports sadam husaien so he can get shot....then maybe he will get your point..........as i read this it pisses me off that people that have not served in the military have so much to say about what is wrong with this post as they think they know what there talking about.......this post IS supposed to **** people off so that they get off there *** and stop these political ******** from getting all these soldiers killed, the same soldiers that provide the safety to the USA and allow dumb asses like the idiot that made such an idiotic comment make such a dumb reply as he did........
it is about time that people know the truth and that we get the right polititian in office if there really is a right one......Bush at least had the ***** to do something and more than likely saved more American live by starting this war......
i hate the bullshit Clintons
They are just like the cops in the states ......instead of stopping crime they are out giving tickets [/quote]
So now I am unpatriotic?? Now that pisses me off. I may not be white and my ancestors may have not been from America but I had 9 uncles in WWII. My Grandpa at westpoint. To more uncles who served for over 20 years. My cousin who was in the USMC and myself going into the NAVY.
Oh wait....theirs my rag. Let me put it on my head to prove you wrong
ok obviously you havent learned anything from your family cuz if you showed this thread to them they would probably make a better comment then you did.....
oh by the way, its not true what they say about the NAVY so you are wasting your time trying to join and to find a boyfriend there......
trust me you are in for it with the Jewish racist comment you made......
by the way i would put on a bullet proof turbin or ragg on your head today
Dude? Do you have something against me or something? Cause you really pissed me off with that statement. I never said anything towards you despite the fact you said I was unpatriotic. I'm joining the NAVY because i have a love for my country that I want to show. I am proud of my decision despite what you may think. And last time I check enlisting doesnt give you a law degree. So quit trying to pretend that you know so much about politics. Military people are republicans.....Teachers are democrats. I grew up in a family where the guys where in the military and the women were teachers...I hear the same stuff you just said.
BTW...Your an Idiot for believing my statement against the jews. I have no prejudice against anyone. Even middle eastern people
And Dragon....Sorry you took my first post the wrong way. I simply meant that I knew this post was only going to **** people off because political statements only make people mad. I didnt mean that you always post stuff to **** people off, So sorry if you took it that way.

Bush's real reason for invading Iraq? Or, at least part of it?
Finish what his father started. I don't remember the quote but he slipped and said something along those lines.
And aside from war what else has Bush done when it comes to domestic affairs? Granted part of the economy slide is stuff that was set in motion during the Clinton administration but seriously. I didn't really like Clinton and I don't care for dubya too much right now either so dont call me a supporter of either.
And, i agree that we do need to enforce sometimes but at the same time i think they're sending U.S. forces to Liberia now? Seriously, do we really need to be there?
