I think we should pre-empt.
But that won't happen.
The USA as a nation just does not have the guts to go out and what they will end up doing, until we first have a huge body count of dead americans first.

Look at our history as a nation.
It has always taken dead americans, or extreme oppression, for us to muster any will to fight.

Look at Iraq. Half the country is already sick of it, even though its so very important that we win there.

It's astounding that we have 230 years of US history to looka at, can't seem to get it right, when a threat is afoot.

We have been late to the game, and ill prepared for every single war-

we often get caught with our pants down-
as Pearl Harbor, 9-11,
and to a degree we had no clue that the USSR was about to fold, when it did.

It seems we as a nation, slog forward, making grandiose proclamations, and occasionally brandishing a sword.
Then we go to sleep, or ignore the global threats.

I'm sick of it.
So here we go again.
Flowery talk, brandish a sword, and let Iran have its nukes.

then, after they use one, on us, or give one to terrorists, to use on us-

the namby pambys will come out of the woodwork, and scream at washingtons weasels:

"how could you let this happen????"

they might well scream at themselves:

"why do you people elect idiots who won't do what needs to be doene, like General Sherman or General Patton would have done??"


Yes, I'm ticked off.
This nation is so reactionary, that its gonna be the death of us, literally. When it comes to WMD, you can't roll dice.
We need to take out Irans program, REGARDLESS of what 'collateral damage" there is, and avoid yet another major attack on our nation. We tried diplomacy, and it never worlks. So lets as a nation demand that our leaders make the smart choice for a change.

Of course- that won't happen.
Politicians pander to the masses of idiots, not to the few who see the threat coming.

Churchill was ALONE when warning about Hitler.
Something we need to think about ourselves, correct?

I'm in total agreement.

Churchill was ALONE when warning about Hitler.

And then the British tossed him right after.
