True. And those that prefer to keep their sovereignty instead of taking demands from DC should develop nuclear weapons. This is an obvious consequence of the US engaging in wars of choice.

But Iran has publically stated that they want to desroy our ally, Israel, and they are supplying armaments to kill our troops in Iraq. They are also of the facist Islamic mind set that they want to see death to the West. I can see their desire to arm themselves, but I can also see the US stance of being against it.

In nature you have survival of the fittest. Liberals don't believe this law of nature should apply to humans, we should all exist in peace and harmony. History has shown this has never happened and common sense dictates that it never will. If there is not going to be peace and harmony then I want our side to have the most muscle.

[/ QUOTE ]

You go ahead and pray for muscle. Muscle only lasts for so long. There WILL come a point in time when the US is not the biggest kid on the block, and when that time comes, your children and/or grand children will most assuredly hope that the current superpower is more congenial than you are.

I'll bet they won't be! Might is right. All great civilizations in history have had a strong conquering military. Our prosperity has made liberals soft and emotional. Life ain't fair. You want everyone to sit around, hold hands and smoke pot in harmony. It isn't happening. The world is full of conflicting views and desires, eat or be eaten.

You want everyone to sit around, hold hands smoke pot in harmony and take a little blue pill so they can still have mindblowing sex like in the 60s. It isn't happening. The world is full of conflicting views and desires, eat or be eaten.

So you're saying human civilization hasn't advanced, and will never advance?

I think you're 100% wrong. IF mankind is to survive, human nature will have to continue to evolve. We'll never make large strides in the future if our primary concern is which country can kick the most ass.

Don't confuse me for a pacifist. If someone starts a confrontation and there are no other good options, you fight. That's the world we live in right now, but I don't believe that's the way the world will always be.

But I will smoke some pot if you have some.
