This was my conclusion as well, I'm glad we see eye to eye on your thinking.
Did you ever hear of Pearl Harbor?
Pearl Harbor? What's that?
The US accepted a war on Dec. 7, 1941.
The US didn't "go to war" with the Japanese? All them old timers at the VFW are faking it to get cheaper beer or what?
What you insist Lincoln should have done is no different than demanding that FDR or G. W. Bush simply fold the flag and allow our enemies to do what they pleased.
Osama bin Laden and Hirohito sent peace commissioners to talk with FDR and GW? You mean they could've opened a line of communication that might have saved countless Americans and stubbornly chose not to do so, even if unwilling to negotiate? I guess maybe the analogy fails on so many other points that you'd not made it to consideration of that point.
It sounds like something a Deanie Baby would say.
Typical FR tactic, I thought you were above it.
There's no need for a comission with OBL. We know perfectly well what he wants. All we need do is convert to Islam and kill all the Jews, and we'll never have another problem with him. He'll be our brother.
And if we had only allowed Japan to have all of Asia, Hirohito would have been our best friend. Think of all the lives that would have been saved. It's all our fault for getting attacked, don't ya know.
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
Barf!
