What I've learned from 9/11, Skip is: If we hit them before they hit us, then that makes us them. I don't want to be them.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

So i'm right....you'd rather have them set off a nuke in Chicago and then strike them. Rather than go on the offensive and protect the people of the US and save our citizens. Wow, thats some scary thinking. I;m sorry but that kinda thinking scares the %$%$%$%$ outta me. And no, you haven't learned a damn thing after 9/11. Your method will get us wiped off the planet by radical Islam. Thank god you will never be president |

Yup, we may seldom agree but its a way of letting off some steam. And maybe drop an f bomb when needed  And the people here who always join the debates may disagree on almost everything but we have one thing in common.....We care about the issues. Unlike most of the country who i really dont think knows whats going on  While i disagree with Spence and Nebe on almost everything at least they have opinions, unlike so many who have no clue about anything. |

 I'll buy that. Most of this country is vapor-locked. |

I`m Thankful
For being able to go to the post office, supermarket, work, Scusset Beach, Plugathon,etc. etc. ....pretty much everywhere...without fear of being blown up. Though I do wonder.
I`m very thankful for these aspects of my life which nowadays I do not take for granted.... I think about it all the time.
Who can say the same?
Its a very tough world out there... here.... always has been.
I`m Thankful,
SkitterPop  |
Good health and family

Don't want the job.. My point is that we didn't take care of business after we were hit in NY. I think we went after BinLaden half assed. We had him cornered and let a bunch of tribal dolts and crooks go in for the kill in Tora Bora. Well, who woulda guessed that plan would fail? That mountain should be a lake now. I'll stand by my ideals: don't strike first, but when struck lower the boom from hell. if you don't do it that way, if you're always striking first, you only gain enemies, and they are always trying to destroy you. If they are destroyed AFTER they hit first, whoever is still standing might see the benefit in being an ally. Just my thoughts, do you realize that if we were both from the Middle East we'd be looking for blood simply because we disagree? The whole situation is schrod-up. Chicago? |
