I'm surprised he didn't write anymore on the war. When he talks I listen. Haha, I love the Bush or Tic Tac: The objective analysis of who would be a better president.

Maddox is God.

Roman, the only person you have to be in line with is the one that you look in the mirror at.

Please tell me what alternate dimension you are in that any country would actually invade the United States.

I think he was trying to get the point across that OldRoman's statement of "All liberals suck." was also painting with a very wide brush.

I second that.

I really hope you are not referring to me. If you are, I'd ask you to become accustomed to the situation before pontificating. I actually do hold these views that I state. So, it's 100% for real, although I see you would like to think otherwise.

Now THAT'S irony. Oh so very true.

I've read it a little bit. I've been really into the Guardian Unlimited www.guardian.co.uk

They espouse their view. I've done my fair share of reading in the alternative media, etc. and it validates their claims. That way I incorporate them into my own belief structure. It's not in my classes that these professors are talking about their views on the war. I've become friends with them and see them at protest actions and we talk for a while about the war, foreign policy, etc. It's completely out of the classroom.

I'm surprised they kicked out two reporters as well. But Al Jazeera is still allowed to film the footage of the war from their office in Baghdad.

Actually, I am 20 (21 in November) and am pretty much saying what a variety of professors etc. here who are essentially experts in the field are saying. (I've been able to talk to a variety of conservative and liberal ones as well because we are trying to put on a symposium here about the effects of war on the University community as well as international effects) And the resounding amount of them, conservative and liberal, agree that this war is piss poor foreign policy and it's gonna hurt our "homeland security".

--John Stuart Mill I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill. -Mahotmas Gandhi I am against this war because the lies of the Bush administration to try to get us into the war, the convenient fact that Iraq has oil and all the obvious ties to oil companies that the Bush administration proudly wear upon their sleeves, etc. And I am not against this war just because of my own personal safety. I am against this war due to the safety of US troops, the family of US troops (they don't need their loved ones coming home in body bags), the safety of Iraqi civilians (if you believe we are doing this to liberate them from anything but their oil, I have a condo in Florida that I'd like to sell you ), the financial aspect of this war that is going to fiscally f*** us over for years to come, the environmental and health destruction caused by the usage of DU rounds, and even the safety of the US. Many of the news organizations have reflected that this war is causing a great upsurge in the enlistment in their militaristic terrorist organizations. Waging this war makes the US a much less safe place, not more safe.

http://media.guardian.co.uk/iraqandthemedi...,928597,00.html They got 2 of their reporters kicked out of Iraq, but they are still allowed to film. I wonder if Geraldo got a job with them and that's why they got booted.

Hell yeah it is.

No, I don't see that media, haha. Luckily I am at a school where we even have an organization called CUBSUCK. It's basically Cardinals, White Sox, and Astros fans all unified in our hatred of the Cubs. But, I wouldn't put it past the Cubune etc. to say that. And tonight, after Sammy ALMOST hit the homer, they must have replayed it like 9 times giving excuses about the wind, etc. on why he didn't get it to go out.

the intelligent conservatives on this board that can debate intelligently (CK, Baggs, HSC, etc) I may not agree with you on the usage of the military in situations like this one, but I am glad that there is a place with people that don't use ad hominem attacks as defense and can do the right wing proud (unlike the right wing fascists like Jerry Falwell, etc.) Thanks guys.

It's from the Boondocks. www.ucomics.com

It's great that we saved her. But that's sad that she and the other troops are even over there in the first place.

Wow, 15 and already an expert on Middle Eastern policy!

I said the administration putting them there is terrorism. There is indeed a difference.

The murder of civilians is how it is equal. Missiles in marketplaces? Shooting into cars? Bombing a farm? Are those military targets? We have hit non-military targets. The suffering of all is what equates one with the other. But maybe you would not see that, being the great humanitarian that you are. Funny, but last time I checked, the liberals actually won the 2000 election too. I find it funny that you can't critique liberal/radical ideology tactfully like Baggio and CK can (I do respect you guys, CK and Baggs, I may not always agree with you on a lot of stuff but you usually keep the debates pretty clean and free of ad hominem attacks. Always fun and intellectually stimulating to have a good debate) but instead you have to resort to lame insults, OldRoman. And, OldRoman, I am sure everyone will admit that it is mainly the leftist radicals in the early 1900s that got us the weekend, the 40 hour work week, etc. I guess it's easy to not remember the contributions of worker unions and human rights workers just because they are leftist in ideology. And for somebody who is such a philanthropist, you sure seem to harbor a helluva lot of hate, OldRoman.

So...let me get your logic. It's wrong to insult people, but you can insult me? Explain to me how that works. How dare I have an opinion that is against the corporate government! That is just so not American to voice your opinion and use your Constitutional rights!

Show me an example of when I insulted the troops, OldRoman. Come on.
