'Strike First' to Become Formal U.S. Policy

Great, now we're at war with the world. Or, at least every country that has weapons that we don't think they should, regardless of whether or not they have any attention of attacking us, or anyone else.
 
saddam has needed bitch-slapped for a long time.

jesse ventura should wrestle him for control of the world.
 
We are witnessing history in the making....

Don't know whether its good or bad....but this is the first step.
 
great, now the terrorists can use that logic.

You mean they don't already use that logic?

Well, yes of course they do, but then again it's the liberal mentality to whine.......so carry on.
 
notfred & Lucky, don't know how to break it to you, but the rest of the world pretty much hates us, I don't think a Jungian Hot Seat therapy session is going to work with folks that would rather cut off your head, videotape it & distribute the tape.

However, if you're willing to try that, we can take up a collection for some training for you & an airline ticket, just don't forget your

chain mail turtleneck.

nicely put, i would rather take the fight to them than wait here for the next shoe to drop, the next time they strike us here in america, it might be IN YOUR BACKYARD
 
People who are bias like the lunatic fringe always are don't need any excuse. They want a strict Islamic religious state and to destroy the US and Jews.

As for the strike first policy I think that it is about time. We should have never let the Taliban take over Afhangistan and we should have elimnated Sadam a long time ago.

Wrong. The rest of the world doesn't hate the US, but give Bush enough time and they just might.

If everyone in the U.S. was a whiney little turd like you, i'd probably hate our guts too. Fortunately, the vast majority of Americans aren't self-loathing sycophants who have "dumbed down" the field of morality to the point where a mass-murdering terrorist suicide bomber is held up as being a misguided but noble savage. Unlike people like yourself.

Wow that was brilliant. You have high levels of smartness. What should we do. Wait for another attack? Or do you think it might be smart to be proactive and destroy terrorist infrastructure in-place instead of waiting for them to come to this country?

Sorry Dave, my reply was specific to the post quoted and not my true feelings on the topic at hand.

Glenn1: Chill dude. I'm not a self-loathing American, in fact I'm not an American.
 
sandorski, get your corrections in while you can, cause pretty soon we'll just obliterate you first and ask no questions later. The wondersul thing about being a super power is that super power corrupts. The people who pull the strings are, of course, among our most diseased, those obcessed by a need for control. We must act to save ourselves from the enemy. We know the truth, we have all the answers. We must act. Naturally we will only do what is right. We have the power.

There are, of course, none more self-loathing than those we cannot trust Love and everything that flows from it. Everything you fear has already happened.
 
And Hayabusarider, you'd better watch it too. Getting Corn all worked up with your lertist whining. Shame on you. 😀
 
Overall I'm glad this is being done as it is what I believe is the right thing to do considering the circumstances. I'm not into politics much if at all myself but after Sept. 11 what American cannot be worried about what is going to happen in the future with our country? Everyone should be glad this decision was made...

Does sovereign state have any meaning to you people? Manifest Destiny? Opposition to the ICC? Fanatics are dangerous in Afghanistan, the Knesset, and the White House. But if the governed ALLOW out-of-touch and/or pudding-for-brains theocrats or bureaucrats make policy that's an issue that the governed should address. Civil unrest caused by uprisings against oppressive governments in Northern Ireland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Indonesia, Turkey, and Yugoslavia meant very little to our leaders b/c the head of state was typically willing to do our bidding. We've been on the WRONG side far too many times.

Saddam is a great threat to his Arab neighbors and Israel. If we have proof that he's plotting to harm the US we should use it to develop a regional concensus on relieving him of power. Personally, I believe proof of threat to his neighbors is enough. But today's despot is yesterday's ally and vice versa. If you doubt it peruse our historical alliances in the region back to the 1950s.

And let's be honest. We point to Iraq b/c Saddam aspires to control the region. If he was still our boy (ala pre-1990) he would get lip service from State.
