[Cannoneer No. 4]

So you are more comfortable with waiting for a mass casualty event and then retalitating, and less comfortable with striking those who would strike us first.

How many dead Americans is your comfort level worth?

No. Neither.
Not second guessing the President as (if you read my previous posts he is doing what he perceives to be his job with the best intelligence and tools at his disposal). But do you really think that, in the long run, having an empire that rules the world would not destroy our republic as surely as it did that of Rome?
just wondering; and damn glad *I* don't have to make those decisions.
If we are going to have an empire then let's just be upfront about it (and get on with it), instead of pretending that we are making the world safe for democracy or some such balderdash.
