Argus Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 They are the ultimate in cowards. They are prepared to shed the blood of hormone-fueled 17 year olds for their own power and glory. Utterly sick and depraved.And what does that make Canadian and American politicians who depend on young soldiers willing to volunteer to 'spread the faith' (a.k.a democracy) with the end of a gun? I don't consider spreading freedom to be the same as spreading religious hate and violent oppression. You do?

Argus Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 There have been plenty of negotiations with Iran. If we need to bomb it into the stone age to keep them away from nukes I'm okay with that. And no, it won't particularly bother me if that means a million dead Persians. You should have noticed that the attack in Iraq and Afghanistan and Lebanon did not result in deaths only to one side. How many Canadian deaths are you ok with resulting from an attack on Iran. ? Another million? Another million? When was the first million? Did I miss something? Any allied attack on Iran, unless it was nuclear, would likely involve some casualties to the allied side, but given the danger of a nuclear armed Iran attacking Israel, and their counterstrike taking out half the middle east, well, I'd suggest avoiding that risk is worth quite a few casualties.

I don't consider spreading freedom to be the same as spreading religious hate and violent oppression. You do? Some don't know the difference, or assume there is none. Thus, the term "moral relativism". Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
