@Foofie,
Quote:The problem with my position is that it is based on the ethical reality that when the United States kills it is based on protecting itself, and the world at large, from greater conflagrations in a nuclear age. Meaning that after inheriting the mantle of superpower, the U.S.A. needed to keep a lid on aggression by maintaining its superpower role. That cannot be done if the U.S.A. functions like a Girl Scout den mother, singing "koom, bah, yah."
But, let's be honest, my position is just an opinion.
It
is just your opinion, Foofie. We could say that it is a terribly naive one but you actually know better and still you seek to perpetuate this silly, silly myth.
The US has had no need to "protect" itself. The US has constantly created these boogeymen to keep fools like yourself slavering for more illegal invasions. It's all been a gigantic lie, a hoax of epic proportion. You're not alone. There are many many fools even here at A2K.
Read the following. It's short and to the point. It doesn't require of you that you stop being grateful that you live in the US. All it requires from you, from any thinking person, is that you stop believing the vast torrent of propaganda that you are fed daily by the US government and its media arm, aka the US media.
Psssssst. Then you can pass it on to Finn and Gob1. There is no reason that these two guys should be as ignorant as they are. But don't stop at them - as I said there are many at A2K who are woefully ignorant, many who actually studiously practice this ignorance.
You can do it, Foofie. You can shine a bright light on this ignorance.
