Umm.... I'm getting the impression that Truth-Bringer has major issues with you Sadistic Savior.
Oh boy does she. It irritates her to no end that people dont ignore me. She will address every member of the forum begging them to ignore me...it's like watching Wile E Coyote try to catch the Road Runner.
I would be really surprised if she hasnt already contacted the administrator in an attempt to get me banned.
So far, I've seen no evidence that you are a Nazi so what did I miss?!
She likes to take quotes from me way out of context, as she did above. Thats why she wont link to it. Because people will follow the link and see that she took it out of context.
I'm no fan of killing millions of innocents, much less a single innocent person, but that is the ugly fact of war.
It doesnt have to be. There is no point to retaliating against people who dont make the decisions anyway.
If we are assuming here that the US has already been hit, it is hard for me to rationalize another UN style approach which generally accomplishes little.
I gave an alternative to a UN-style solution.
Me: Most of them wouldnt care. MAD only works if the other party cares that they are retaliated against. If the other party see's death as a ticket to paradise, MAD no longer functions as a deterrant.
True if you are dealing only with the pawns that terrorist leaders send out to do their dirty work.
Most of the leaders believe the same thing. They are not rational. Bin Laden is just as convinced that he will go to paradise when he dies as any of his suicide-bombing minions are. If someone like that ever became a dictator, yes, they are fully capable of dying if they believe they can take us with them.
Middle Eastern governments that support these pawns and their terrorist networks care very much about self preservation.
The current ones do. In a chaotic situation such as Iraq, there is always the possibility that a radical could take power.
Well......trade sanctions have been tried and you saw how Saddam dealt with it.
Trade Sanctions will not result in a long-term policy change. That is why they are insufficient. That is why we cannot trust any non-democracy, no matter how benign.
Trade Sanctions mean nothing if the masses have no decision-making power anyway. Because the ruler(s) will always be the last to feel them.
