  If you had a choice, to be a slave and live on your knees for the rest of your life or to bomb another country what would you choose. Enjoying American freedom you may say it does not come to that. But it does. Given the opportunity another country will bomb subjugate the US for it own good and so it it so sad the world is like this but it is better to be the ones bombing than the ones being bombed. It is very sad and wrong but that is the way the world is.

  The Irony is we still get bombed 9/11, OKC, WTC in the 90s, abortion clinics. The problem is that we enslave not that we can be enslaved. If we enslave than we are no better and will be destroyed just like those that would enslave us and have enslaved us in the past.

  Countries like the US and Israel are slowly becoming worse than their past enemies. If they don't stop soon they will become like their past enemies hated and killed with little remorse and with little defence from third parties.

  It comes down to imperialism ultimately. or it comes down to self interest, which may or may not include imperialism. The survival of the US is not dependent on invading other countries, therefore if we have a foreign policy and leadership that discourages invading sovereign countries then we should do just fine.

  I think many of you would benefit from some research into the Taliban and Saddam Hussein's regime.

  Other nations are on the move, they do not attack because they are hemmed in, but give them an opportunity and they will! It is conquer or be conquered. That is the reality of the world we live in.

  1. No country would invade the US.
  a. Private gun ownership
  b. Big bad ass military... which is unfortunately deployed.
  c. We buy all their crap.
  
  2. Preemptive war
  a. We have become the invaders
  b. They are fighing back just as we would if Iraq invaded our country.
  

  Conclusion, we are the aggressors. We are the terrorists.

  The number of "experts" on foreign policy that base their assessments on ignorance and hatred never ceases to amaze me.

  1. We invaded a sovereign state.
  2. We destablized a stable sovereign state.

  Kinda like yelling fire in a crowded room then just being a bystander to mayhem? No more no less.
