My granddaughter thinks the world should get rid of all nukes. I explained about the cold war. Horrible as they are, we need them as a powerful deterrent (the WOT enemy movers and shakers can hide out, but their supporters all can't) and we may eventually have to use them if we haven't totally wimped out by then. No thanks, keep our nukes, the more the better, hope that cool heads prevail. I don't buy this peace at any price, and if we are going to get nuked, we'd better fire some serious stuff back.
That's one of their strategies, get us in such as a way that we won't know who did it. By that time, I'm not sure I would care as I'd have a pretty good idea who didn't do it.
I don't like wars, but if we have to fight, we'd better fight to win or deliver a punch such that anybody would think twice before messing with us again.
Our social structure is so unstable, I don't know if we are going to survive anyway, but we'd better give it our best shot. Oh well, I've said enough on that.
No, not all of Iraq is Muslim, but many Muslims there support us. That is not to say they aren't being fair-weather friends and will turn on us down the line. I truly believe some appreciate what we have done for them and won't soon forget it. Their courage in the face of the insurgency should inspire us here at home. I'm not going to be consumed by hatred of them as a whole, even though I think the religion is a cancer on the planet. Too bad so many are being taken in by it.
Better no religion than that one as far as I am concerned.
Russia, spread out such as it is had some advantages and had built shelters for some of their people. We made a half-hearted attempt, and some people built their own, then it all petered out, as usual.
An argument wasn't my intention either. I hear what you saying.
I look upon islam as a slightly different version of nazism. Many of the same elemnets are present in both. In fact they were allies in WWII. Just like the nazism, it needs to be stomped out. How it ever got elevated to a 'religion' is beyond me. We both agree it is not acceptable. But it does exist.
As long as islam does exist and is supported and sponsored by governments, we will need to address it. Unfortunately, I still hear a lack of honesty from many in this age of 'tolerance' in calling a spade a spade in this regard.
Have you seen this one Aliska?
