Questioning the government isn't the issue. The issue is purposefully taking actions which undermine the governement's legitimate authority for purely political reasons. Since 9/11, the left in this country has completely exposed itself as being so vehemently opposed to the political principles of the right that it will take what ever measures necessary to defeat them regardless of how extreme or treasonous. The principles which divide the left and right in our society have simply become too extreme to manage democratically. In fact, we are already fighting a Civil War between one another. We are simply doing it through proxies around the world. "You get that which you tolerate"

Huh? Why do you think Bush's poll numbers are so low. The 'people on the right' have been disagreeing with Bush on many things, including the war, for quite a while now. For my part, I think the war in Iraq was a mistake because before this nation ever commits troops to any foriegn combat again, we need to first bomb our own leftist elements into oblivion. No nation as badly divided as this one is politically has any hope of waging an effective military campaign any where for any purpose regardless of how justified. "You get that which you tolerate"

I've been here long enough and my brother-in-law was nearly killed in Iraq fighting for this country. That is why I feel justified in identifying with "our" troops.
Not good enough. He's not blood and you're not an American.

Not to mention that "my" troops are over there as well.
Your rant specifically targetted American troops.

Fuck you. How dare you presume to know anything about my relationship with my brother-in-law. You're a pathetic little troll. Didn't I tell you to go stand in the corner? [^]

Isn't that a Hanging Offence? The "left" that you appear to hate so much, why not round them all up (just like the Nazi's used to) and put them all in-front of Firing Squads, and then you (yes Stan) can be the first to squeeze the trigger - that is if you have the "metal". Then there would be no "left" for you to worry about, but then, I suspect you would find something else that troubles you. Sorry Stan, I am not having a go, it is just the way (attitude) some of you Americans appear to have.

Divided nation ? I wonder why ? Your nation like any nation will pull together where such war/conflict is JUST and not contrived which will cause some degree of fragmented public support.

The political principles of the left represent the single greatest threat to the American way of life, as it has always existed, that we have ever been confronted with. The goal is to turn us into a European social welfare state consisting primarily of hundreds of millions of poor hispanics. The threat is very real and represents in every way a growing and serious emergency if we are to maintain any semblance of what it has always meant to be an American.

Bullshit. Hope is the single greatest resource which sustains any type of military confrontation involving a weak military power against a stronger one. These people derive hope from the constant negative, anti-Bush, purely politically motivated, drumbeat from the left, the democrats and their vast propaganda arm (the mainstream media,hollywood, and educational institutions). I never thought that we should have ever invaded IRaq for the purpose of trying to establish a western style democracy. However, in every other way it was a perfectly legitimate, justified decision for a US president to commit our military resources to. In no way was it a 'mistake' to invade. It was a mistake for us to, again, underestimate the power and motivation of the left in the US to undermine their nation's ability to promote its values and interests around the world as they have done consistantly since the Great depression.

:laugh::laugh::laugh: I thought it was all about the x number of virgins awaiting them in paradise. Like the other members of the clueless right, you just can't grasp that Iraq has a different culture. The influence that the US left has on Iraqis is approximately zero. And don't imagine that the right was going to remain enthusiatic about this war indefinitely. It is not only the left that takes a dim view of exercises in futility. The only thing that distinguishes the left from the right is that the left figured out what a dumb idea the Iraq war was earlier than the people on the right.

:laugh::laugh::laugh: "in ever other way" That really is comic. You and George Bush make a good pair. Hopelessly in denial. Utterly clueless about the real problems the US is facing. When Bush was re-elected, I commented that one good thing about it was that the credit or blame for Iraq would be unambiguously his. Your hopeful fantasy that you can blame it on the left is not going to be fulfilled. This is George Bush's war, for good or for ill. My judgement on Iraq will not concern you or him. But the American people are in the process of judging George Bush and they are finding him wanting. About bloody time.

I seem to remember that pretty much everybody was behind invading Afganistan. Anybody remember Afganistan? Whatever happened to those crazy guys?

Could it be that this may be the first time that any foreign power (including terrorist activities) have caused harm on Mainland USA and your fellow countrymen were justly outraged. Also, (being contentious) Afganistan was a problem prior to 9/11, where USA supported the Mujahidin factions against the Soviet Union's war in Afganistan. The Mujahidin factions split which, in a manner of speak, enabled the foundation of the Taliban and their later association with Al Queda. I wonder what went wrong with American Foreign Policy after Soviet withdrawal from Afganistan ?

Stan, You can't be serious. Is this really what people think in the United States of America ? Or is it a "Stan" drum-beating obsession What do the people from the "left" in the USA actually think ? Would anybody from the "left" care to voice opinions !
