1967ist - last chance to fight a war to unconditional victory

[AntiGuv]

I'm a 1956ist.

"Which one are you?"

I'm for killing all the Islamofascists, all their supporters, financers, media fifth columnists, enablers, all their families, friends and relatives tomorrow morning and feeding them to the fish and pigs.

Just in case you were wondering.

2006, the year of missed opporunities.

I truly believe we will look back on this month as the last chance to prevent disaster.

Sadly, I also believe we will fail in that attempt.

Cheers,

I'm more of a 1096ist.

I believe that the current geopolitical situation most closely resembles that of pre WW I. Extreme political alignment into two camps of hegemony, a whole new generation of devastating weapons that need real world testing, and alliances that put virtually all countries in an us-or-them category. The only resemblance to WWII is the anti-semitic rhetoric. Hitler was a far more formidable foe than that unkempt schoolteacher in Tehran.

Definitely 1914. The homegrown opposition is for isolationism and the impending war will be fought dirty using WMD's just like WWI. I bet the isolationist sentiment before WWI grew from fatigue over years of adventure under Theodore Roosevelt. Just as in that time, we can't stop because the job is too hard.

Could be an exact replay right down the act that opens it.

>>But as our crisis deepens, it's worth considering 1914ism, and with it the possibility that all of us, whatever year we think it is, are poised on the edge of an abyss that nobody saw coming.<<

Nobody saw it coming?! Baloney. A transcript of Bush's speech after 911 lets us know Bush saw it coming. That is why we are in Iraq. Imagine the same Rina/syria/lebanon mess with a strong Saddam in Iraq.

Also, if you read the koran or went here you saw it coming: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/696408/posts

I'm a 1938ist, but in the context of my tagline. Except I now think it is 1939. It's gonna get worse before it gets better. A lot worse. It is literally unconscionable to most people in the west just how bad it can be - and probably will be.

None of the above. Attempts to draw create false historical analogies are the behavior of sophomoric intellects.

Here is the crucial fact that shatters all the hysteric handwringings and breast beating of the Junk Media Always Whining types.

Our current enemies, all rolled into one "Axis" do not have the power to destroy the USA. We have the power available right now to crush any Conventional Military challenge in days if not hours.

Our enemies know this and will NOT face us across the battlefield. All this bluster and hand wringing in the Junk Media about "What year is it" is merely the prattle of drama queen hysterics with no clue what they are talking about.

History never repeats. The situation is always different if for no other reason then the previous events having all ready happened. This is a problem like no other. Trying to draw false analogies to previous wars is the behavior of room temperature intellects with NO clue about current factual military and political realities.

I'm a 1796ist and think we should call on Horatio Nelson.

You left out the Armageddonists. We are headed towards teh final battle.

LIBERTY! :o)

I think its 476 A.D.

I tend toward the "1938ist" simply because we have not yet had an incident so massive, so horrifying, that it will convince the donks and other people on the short bus that Islam is out to kill us all or die trying.

Call 911 as equivalent to the "Panay" sinking. It was bad, but compare it to a when a city dies, in a moment. After all, there are 1000 million Muslims who cannot play well with others...

The modern world is in 2006. The Islamofascist world is in 1006 (or thereabouts). The clash between these two different worlds is due to the fact that the Islamofacists are awash in oil money while nursing thousand-year-old grudges and religious ideas.

This era may have some similarities to earlier times, but it is quite unique largely for one reason: The modern "westernized" world fights with ridiculous self-imposed restraints, while the Islamofacist world fights a world-wide guerrila war without restraint of any kind other than their failure to conjure and implement an overarching strategy.

I'm more of a 1858-1860ist..... George being a hybrid proto-Lincoln type before the Lincoln type actually takes charge.
