Here is something to debate. Enjoy!

"As a former "moderate" and former believer in the naive utopian views contained in, among other texts, Thomas L. Friedman's "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" I have developed a unique geopolitical perspective.

"Since begining my awakening process in 1996, I have increasingly embraced a hybrid of neo-Clausewitzian and Apocalyptic approaches to geopolitical analysis that would make all liberals, and even certain factions within the GOP, cringe. It goes without saying, that Communists, Marxists, Nazis, Fascists and other procrustean types hate me.

"Specifically, I beleive that war between great powers is inevitable and happens in a recurring cycle which cannot be broken by any but Almighty God. The sooner we accept this, and structure our lives, our expectations, our geopolitics, our economics, and our strength of will, to this reality, the better it will enhance the chances for the long term survival of Western Civilization. This might seem counterintuitive, given the conventional anti Clausewitzian "wisdom" that great war has become so destructive as to make all conceivable unlimited wars fought between great powers immoral. However, consider the ultimate end state of the current conventional "wisdom" - is it any different from what would be brought on by the mentality of "better Red than dead" or, the more current variation, "better Muslim than dead?" There has been no consensus whatever that the next great war shall be the end of all times or that certain "worst case" wars against large nuclear armed powers (or axes of them) are unthinkable under all circumstances. Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, a CIA veteran, among others who have done so, has presented analyses which completely refute the ideas of "nuclear winter" and "total destruction." I postulate that should we ever be so unfortunate as to be put in a situation where we have not explicitly prepared to fight and win a war against the greatest powers, up to and including a full nuclear exchange, and, we face another world war axis, we may well think to ourselves that we desparately want to live, and that we do not envy the dead. We might well castigate ourselves for failing to consider the obvious fact that war between great powers is the most likely eventual outcome and that no peace lasts forever. Shame on us for dreaming naively otherwise!"

Can someone explain to me why DU'ers do this stuff? What are they hoping to gain? I just cannot figure out their thought process.

Yeah, that's totally inappropriate (and I thought it would get removed) but it still makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it.
