You must have been against WWII also by using the the same reasoning.

Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in order to bomb Clark AFB a few hours later because we had colonized the Philippines. We had no business being in that war and the long term consequences (the "temporary" 90% top income tax bracket and withholding) have been a curse on the nation.

At least we finally did the Right Thing and freed the Philippines.

Face the real world and get a life.

I've lived and traveled all over the world. Do you ever get outside your mother's basement much? Just asking.

I retired from killing people in 1990 at the time of the first Gulf War. The bible says "Thou shalt not kill". Seems pretty simple to me. I am ashamed it took me 28 years to figure it out.

How many dead Iraqi women and children do you require until you feel safe?

...How many dead Iraqi women and children do you require until you feel safe?

I give up. How many dead ones does it take to make us safe? Do you understand jihad? Do you approve of suicide/homicide bombers? Did you quit beating your wife?

If you have "retired from killing", you may want to curl up in a ball and wait for them to come for you! You probably killed a few mice, or roaches!

How many dead Americans do you require before you're willing to defend America?

“… We had no business being in that war …”

Tell me, if America had not joined the Allies and fought against Hitler and his associates, who would have stopped the Axis?

Remember, colonizing the Philippines isn't what set der Führer off.


Considering the prevailing mindset of the Axis leaders, there is no reason to believe that they would have ever been content with what they had.

Sooner or later, someone would have said, dibs on North America!


Tell me, do you think the signers of the Declaration of Independence had any business throwing off King George III?
