Sounds like you’re in favor of a third US war in the Middle East, within 12 years, following two that have turned out less than well (to put it generously)

And you brand anyone who is skeptical of your desire for a third US war in the midddle east, as a “pacifist”

That’s like calling Gen. Douglas MacArthur a “pacifist” for warning against another ground war in Asia.

As for being a Reaganite, that’s where I stand - Do you believe the fact he didn’t invade any countriies (other than tiny Grenada) made him a “paciist”? He still won the Cold War

Oh, you believe Reagan won the Cold War. Guess again. Red China never fell; Russia made a comeback under an autocratic “president” with KGB training who believes that the fall of the USSR was the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the (20th) century” (not WWII mind you) and is working as hard as he can to create USSR II in the form of the “Eurasian Union”, never mind assisting Iran in building offensive nuclear weapons that Iran intends to use in an offensive manner. And noteworthy is Russia and Red China’s continued joint military exercises, which bespeaks a strong alliance there, and none of it pro-US. (Thanks for helping me bring things back on topic, in part.)

You mistake me. I don’t want a “war” (as the liberals have called their fiascoes in Iraq and Afghanistan); I want a victory, especially while we still have the military capability of achieving one (but it would take the will). Shirking our responsibility in this arena will lead to world war, and (most likely if things keep going the way they have been) the actual Great Tribulation, since nukes will be in use.

PS. That alleged MacArthur quote to JFK has no source. A similar one was claimed by pacifist James W. Douglass, not a very honest broker (comes from JFK and the Unspeakable).
