The good people of Iraq you so sympathetically speak of yadayada are at the same time those “We the people” you speak of in the Consitution that “only fringe whackos believe in” anymore. Horsecrap.
The poor, poor people who had nothing to do with 9/11? Horsecrap.
Some of those same people in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Iran, and in the United States of America are the very isolationists who allow these death cult regimes to rule.
As for the old, tired, Just War Doctrine argument- perhaps you might pull it out and re-read it from a different perspective.
Those who choose to cut and run from this vote are no better. In fact, I look upon their ilk as no different than Saddam in his spider hole or Bill Clinton in the Oval Office. Dangerous cowards who care naught for anyone but themselves.
Thank God there are others who won’t cut and run and who refuse to live on Easy Street in Isolationville- those who have sacrificed for freedom here, there, and everywhere deserve better- especially from those who have not.
There are all manner of insulting thought processes on this thread.
This is far larger than any of us, individually. At least try to wrap your mind around it and be part of the solution.
