36. Excuse me, nobody was trying to kill them before
Edited on Sat Mar-12-05 10:01 PM by Is It Fascism Yet
they invaded somebody else's nation. Nobody was trying to kill them when they were graduating from high school three months earlier in Kansas and Nebraska. Nobody tried to kill them until they went to another nation, unprovoked and dropped bombs on it and roamed the streets with rifles shooting cars at check points. Our troops killed 100,000 Iraqis and engaged in torture. Now, maybe (some) men can call that self defense, but to me, it looks like they went and picked a fight and now they have got one. That is what I mean by "murder on command". Our adversaries were not trying to murder us until we tried to murder them first. It is they who fight in self defense, and it is our troops who are murdering on command. What I am telling you is that I don't think people whose minds run on estrogen instead of testosterone are going to travel thousands of miles on command to pick a immoral fight with people they don't know who haven't harmed them. I don't think it will happen. Do you? It's an interesting question. I know I wouldn't go, and I don't care if it's a combat position or not. I would not go peel potatoes or file papers at headquarters for these war mongering bastards either. It's not just the killing I won't go to, I won't go to any part of the whole damned war.
