ISRAEL - IRAN - SYRIA - HAMAS - HEZBOLLAH - WWWIII?

Might doesn't make right
-------------------------------------------
It had aways had done so in the history of the human race and yes stopping annoying Israel would result in a far better deal for the Pals then firing rockets at random into their areas!

CI, among other things, stereotypes Jews as people who steal land from others. The fact is that Jews, as a result of their culture, are extremely charitable and humane.

Despite hundreds of attacks by the Pals, Israel was content to live within the "pre-'67" borders. However, the '67 war was the final straw, encouraging Israel to move into the WB and Gaza.

Does it explain why the US is hellbent on fighting two wars now that doesn't pose any threats to us?

How about our wars in Korea and Vietnam?

We are the primary funders of these wars, but there were other countries that "contributed" to those efforts.

The US never learned the simple lesson, that the war on terror is an international responsibility. We can't win any war on our own.

BULLSHIT

The U.S. needs to fight wars to maintain its global position.

the Iraq war was illegal, and instead of the $50 billion estimate for the war, we ended up spendings hundreds of billions, and towards the end of the war, it was costing our country $2 billion every week; all wasted on a war that was never necessary for our own security.

Public Law 107-243 107th Congress Joint Resolution Oct. 16, 2002 (H.J. Res. 114) To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq

Whereas in 1990 in response to Iraq's war of aggression against and illegal occupation of Kuwait, the United States forged a coalition of nations to liberate Kuwait and its people in order to defend the national security of the United States and enforce United Nations Security Council resolutions relating to Iraq;

Whereas Iraq persists in violating resolutions of the United Nations Security Council by continuing to engage in brutal repression of its civilian population thereby threatening international peace and security in the region, by refusing to release, repatriate, or account for non-Iraqi citizens wrongfully detained by Iraq, including an American serviceman, and by failing to return property wrongfully seized by Iraq from Kuwait;

Whereas the current Iraqi regime has demonstrated its continuing hostility toward, and willingness to attack, the United States, including by attempting in 1993 to assassinate former President Bush and by firing on many thousands of occasions on United States and Coalition Armed Forces engaged in enforcing the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council;

Whereas members of al Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens, and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq;

Whereas Iraq continues to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations, including organizations that threaten the lives and safety of United States citizens[/u];

Whereas in December 1991, Congress expressed its sense that it supports the use of all necessary means to achieve the goals of United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 as being consistent with the Authorization of Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1),' that Iraq's repression of its civilian population violates United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 and `constitutes a continuing threat to the peace, security, and stability of the Persian Gulf region,' and that Congress, `supports the use of all necessary means to achieve the goals of United Nations Security Council Resolution 688';

Whereas the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-338) expressed the sense of Congress that it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove from power the current Iraqi regime and promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime;

Whereas on September 12, 2002, President Bush committed the United States to `work with the United Nations Security Council to meet our common challenge' posed by Iraq and to `work for the necessary resolutions,' while also making clear that `the Security Council resolutions will be enforced, and the just demands of peace and security will be met, or action will be unavoidable';

Whereas Congress has taken steps to pursue vigorously the war on terrorism through the provision of authorities and funding requested by the President to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such persons or organizations;

Whereas the President and Congress are determined to continue to take all appropriate actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such persons or organizations;

Whereas the President has authority under the Constitution to take action in order to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States, as Congress recognized in the joint resolution on Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40); and,

Whereas it is in the national security interests of the United States to restore international peace and security to the Persian Gulf region:

Now therefore be it, Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, Authorization for use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002. 50 USC 1541 note.

The "complaint" is a very simple one; the Iraq war was illegal, and instead of the $50 billion estimate for the war, we ended up spendings hundreds of billions, and towards the end of the war, it was costing our country $2 billion every week; all wasted on a war that was never necessary for our own security. You may find some justification for our military casualties, and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi lives lost in addition to those billions spent that didn't benefit our own citizens, your inability to understand cost/benefit is zilch.

That's what shows you are wrong; you don't address the evidence presented by reliable media sources and resort to ad hominems. Either you are fooling yourself to understand the truth, or you are struggling with yourself about the inhuman treatment of the Palestinians that you must know is illegal, inhuman, and not acceptable.
