I think the best reaction to someone trying to make a political point by talking about Star Wars is:

Yeah, and 'member that time, 'member when Yoda lifted the X-wing using the Force? That was AWESOME!

If Bush were a Sith Lord, he'd deal with Paul Craig Roberts by telekinetically choking him...not that there's anything WRONG with that :)

Guys in the Empire do live much nicer. And you get all those guys in white suits to clear the way for you. Empire. Has a nice ring to it.

Freud never met Bill Clinton. I'm not sure whether that is a good thing.

The congenital lying above and beyond the political norm, would undoubtedly have been diagnosed. (As even his political pals said of Slick: "Did you know he is an unusually good liar? I mean really unusually good.") Freud would likely have come up with some Oedipus complex to explain Bills' other penchants...

Looking across the Hudson River at the two empty spots in the skyline really helps to put articles like this into perspective. How quickly people forget...

*LOL* Bush isn't like any of the Star Wars heroes.

I said if they were raised to hate and kill you...If you thought that child would grow up to do what it was taught to do, reared to do, wouldn't you?

I understood what you initially said, which is why I asked you my question.

My answer to your question is an emphatic 'no'. I would not kill a child that was raised to hate and kill me.

The current episode of "Star Wars" is dynamite for the duplicitous Bush administration.

No it's not. It's just a movie.

You have touched on a topic many, probably almost all here will not explore. In tribal warfare of which the war of the Jihadis is a kind as they come from a society which is still tribal in its thinking, there are no boundaries between combatant and non combatant. Some upper class Muslims, such as Saladin, did incorporate chivalric concepts (picked up from the Persians and to a lesser extent from the Crusaders) into their code of conduct but most Muslims adhere to a tribalised code of total revenge and cruelty towards enemies.

The later decades of the 20th century saw the emergence, as policy, by various insurgencies of deliberately incorporating underage combatants of both genders into their combat forces. US forces dealt with some kid soldiers in Viet Nam but nothing like the masses of them used in Somalia and Iraq. Along with underage combatants Muslims use young and adult females as auxiliaries who can attack the wounded or disable infidels. During the uprising of 9 April 2004 native woman gathered on highway overpasses to help crash convoy vehicles by dropping carpets or large objects on the windshields. Those who meet such tribal hordes of homicidal kids and knife wielding females quickly lose their reluctance to shoot to kill.

I frankly believe that the families of known Jihadis should be sought out and dealt with. Many of the current crop of terrorists operating in Iraq are from Jordan, or paliwog land or Saudi Arabia. I think a visit by some SF types t these families is in order. I wonder how excited would be Jihadis would be to take up the cause if they got to see some pictures of what happened to the younger brothers and sisters of some other Jihadis. There are ways to do in Muslims that contain an unmistakable component of making it difficulty (by their beliefs) for the deceased to enter the Muslim happy hunting land. This is war to the knife and we should treat our enemies as what they are with no mercy at all.

for them, all was right. we were heading towards a nice socialist government, then we get this republican in office, and actually, the world got better for them. now they can take all this screaming about loss of rights that we've been talking about for years, and blame it on bush.

I hadn't yet gotten that far, and the book I am reading didn't go into details about Chickamauga so much and instead concentrated on Lee and in Petersburg...

[ Is Bush a Sith Lord? ]

No... but he IS a bit of a Sitthy..
You know, him, being Vincente Foxes b!tch or main squeeze.. and all..

i thought the movie was based on reality, wwii germany and hitler, vietnam and their leader.. and now hillary. if you want to see a correlation, look there.

she's a senator
there's a possible interminable war
she's smart, cunning, crafty, and conniving
she'll do anything for absolute power
she was very close to a major leader (bill)

anything i'm missing?

[absolootezer0]

biblically, you are supposed to.
check out Deuteronomy 20: 16-18.

Mr. Roberts doesn't know his Star Wars. The Dark Side is the right side.

But the folks dressing up as Stormtroopers and Darth Vader are on the Dork Side.

Sorry about the delay in replying. Electric company put in new pole. My juice was off for over 2 hours.

It needs to be spoken about and brought into the light. I believe the time for recognizable enemies in unifroms are a thing of the not to distant future.

Now more than ever, children are being used a soldiers. Africa is awash with them. And other countries are starting to use child soldiers as well. They are every bit as deadly as their adult counterparts I believe, maybe more dangerous. What American soldier would shoot a child? They would hesitate I believe, which is what the child soldier is relying on. Hesitate till they knew this child soldier was their enemy.

Those who meet such tribal hordes of homicidal kids and knife wielding females quickly lose their reluctance to shoot to kill.

A whole new warfare is emerging I believe. The line between civilian and enemy combatant is bluring.

I frankly believe that the families of known Jihadis should be sought out and dealt with.

I heartedly agree.

This is war to the knife and we should treat our enemies as what they are with no mercy at all.

This PC war we are fighting isn't gonna cut it.

My answer to your question is an emphatic 'no'. I would not kill a child that was raised to hate and kill me.

Let me break this down a bit. Suppose a child of 8 or 9 was strapped with a suicide belt. That child is about to walk into the middle of 30 to 40 children playing in a park...would you shoot that child before they made it to the innocent children?
