The Saudis invited us in - and that invitation, to my knowledge was never rescinded. And Kuwait's invited us in to protect them from Saddam - they leanred all too well how bad an apple he was.

So, does the U.S. military oath of office now include Saudi Arabia and Kuwait alongside defending the Constitution? Are our armed forces really just mercs at the President's call? Is that what we want in our 'free republic'?

The likes of bin Laden and Saddam Hussein would attack neighbors or us for whatever reason they find convenient. I have to disagree strongly with the notion that we can just pull out of all of these conflicts and let other nations sort it out among themselves.

Hussein is an undisputable tyrant and villian, but he doesn't threaten the U.S. His interest is in staying alive and staying in power, neither of which is furthered by attacking the U.S. What evidence do you have to bring me to your view of Osama Bin Laden? Why do you think he would attack the U.S. willy nilly?

What has getting in the middle of the Middle East conflicts earned us? What is the fruit that has been reaped from our thousands already dead and billions already spent?

We tried that course in the 1930s. We sat back, and let the world try to deal with Japan's invasion of Manchuria, Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, and Hitler's land grabs through the mid-to-late 1930s. Ultimately, we did not deal with the threats early, and so from 1939-1942 we had a situation that was VERY touchy - all because we didn't act sooner, when it would have been far less costly.

Touchy for Stalin's Soviet Union, perhaps, but the United States was not threatened. Please explain to me how you think it was.

Sean Hannity and Rush think along the same lines, read the same literature, listen to each other, and frequently come to the same conclusions on issues. It's no wonder they sound alike from time to time.

By the way, Freepers, I think it's about time we came up with a new name for the NION group, using the four letters they're using.

I'll start Nazi Idiots On Neptune

Weak, I know...someone out there can do better...or maybe we can use our own set of letters and come up with something suitably scathing to describe these anti-American losers.

[GSWarrior]

How about No Intelligence Of Note?

[LRS]

*LOL* I'll go with that...

[TheSpottedOwl]

No it's still there. They're just not too swift with the Alphabet. Looks like Al Goron signed too.

Peter Syben, major, US Army, retired

Retired a Major, uh? Some guys really bear a grudge about being passed over.

Susan Surandon: "We support Iraq, a mysogynistic, fanatical, and dictatorial regime, where there is no freedom of speech and where the bodies of dissent pile up."

We believe that peoples and nations have the right to determine their own destiny, free from military coercion by great powers.

However, we do not believe that Americans have the right to determine their own destiny, unless it falls within the scope of the liberala agenda.

What idiots! We should not go to war, they say, since we would be violating the Iraqis right to self-governance. But do they not understand that the Iraqi people under Saddam have no right "to determine their destiny?"
