Shades, you're looking at this from the "American" perspective, where freedom of opinion and speech is a treasured thing. To the terrorists, however, who look with disdain on such things as democracy and personal expression and do not treasure them, we do appear divided and weak.
The more you complain, the more divisivenes you cause, the more you give them cause to keep up their struggle.
I unerstand, though, that you can't see it that way, but that's how it is.

Oh, the arrogance--the "I am right and you are just too dense to realize it." What an argument. I am sure that you have done extensive research of the thought process of terrorists and therefore are an expert and speak with authority when you tell me what they are thinking. If not, your opinion is the same as mine--an OPINION.
I will continue to honor the tradition of my country and voice my dissent when it occurs and you can continue to be afraid of terrorists.

Fine. You do that. And when they come and kill you in your sleep, your family can bury you with your "peace now" sign and I'll send flowers to your funeral.

shades , I do not spew hate, more like a father chastizing his kids, furter more I never suggested that any american silence their voice, just wanted them to see it from the TERRORIST point of view and accept responsibility for what their actions bring.

While I am not going to argue that Clinton did everything right in the foreign policy theatre, you are going to have a hard time convincing me that his policy was "weak ass." Have you forgotten about Northern Ireland and the Good Friday Agreement? What about Bosnia? Or the abiity of US officials under Clinton to dampen tensions between Greece and Turkey in the eastern Aegean? Or the Partnership for Peace facilitating military cooperation between West and East European countries? How about when the Clinton Administration worked to keep Mexico from the brink of economic disaster? I could go on. |
Let's see, NOrthern Ireland. Hmmm....that is a maybe. Bosnia? Uh, Exit Strategy and Chinese Embassies. WOW! Great there. NOT! Greece and Turkey......Uh, he stopped a war? Not. The Tension is still there BTW. ANd it will be until one is annihlated.
Clinton Sucked as a foreign policy president. Pure and simple.

I don't fear the terrorists, either, because my country is doing what it can to make me and mine safe and keep us out of harm's way. For three years going on four, they've done that job admirably, even though the Left cries foul every time someone mentions the Patriot Act, and holds the Bush Administration in contempt for its efforts at Homeland security (if we were subject to repeated attacks, I'm sure they'd be bitching about that, too).
I do admire and even applaud Shades' fortitude in pursuing that system of belief, but you're right, Modman, when you say that it has a downside that the peaceniks just don't get.

Terrorists are responsible for their own actions. I do not force them to kill or injure--no matter what I say or do, I do not have control over bin Laden and I am not responsible for what he does. If we want to argue this way, I could say that the burning of Beruit foreshadowed 9/11 and the US and Israeli governments should take responsibility for it. It is ludicris. Yes, the US government breeds resentment around the world; however, to say that resent is a justification for mass murder is beyond laughable. By the same token to say that my dissent against the government is aids the terrorists is laughable.
that needs a good horse whipping |
and you wonder why I think you are full of hate. I will have my opinions, you have yours. I do not need to be horse whipped into agreement with you.

Clinton was critical to the Good Friday Agreement. He made a crucial call at the last minute before negotiations were finalized and sealed the deal. In addition, the negotiations would have gone no where if it weren't for George Mitchell. You can not deny a Clinton success here. The process was working through the end of the Clinton presidency. The fact that Bush did not engage the Troubles with the same vigor as Clinton did should not reflect on Clinton's foreign policy, but Bush's.
Like I said, I don't think Clinton was the best, but he was a far cry from "weak assed."

Are you comparing the US Army to al Qaeda? I don't think that there is the same training behind a government army and a terrorist army--the US Army doesn't try to kill innocent civilians (the last time I checked). You will have many socialist-lefties loving your analogy and I am sure many members of the military would be disgusted.
I would gladly lay my life down! would you? |
It depends on the conditions. Why die now to end a war if it will only start again tomorrow? I can do more good working for peace alive than dying for a five minute respite in war.

no I am not comparing them to al qaeda... but get real. if you think the seals, force recon, green berets and delta force are not trained in a form of terrorism, your much more unconcious than I thought.
