1. Yep, and it seems just like yesterday that we were saying that GW Bush ought to be
sending his daughters into combat if he thinks that war is so great. hmmmmm The more things change, the more they stay the same.

13. why should it matter where the people on the planes were from?
If a bunch of guys from Saskatchewan got together and hatched a plot and blew something up, does that mean we should therefore punish the entire population of Saskatchewan by invading and occupying their country? I don't understand the logic behind projecting the deeds of an individual upon an uninvolved population.

8. You're right, Mr Freeper- It's not our war.
The Global War of Terror is in fact Israel's war on Islam, which we have been fighting for them since well before 9/11.

6. Children are not extensions of their parents, no matter who the parents are.
And no matter what some parents think.

12. I was using an absurdity to make a point.

If you're following what I'm saying here in the video, it's not in favor or war, OR imperialism. I well know as someone who has grown up in the poverty armpit of America, Dayton, Ohio and Eastern, Kentucky, that Obama's kind (the political elite), and their children never fight these stupid primates vs. primates bloodbaths.

Believing that we need to kill others to survive and thrive is just another form of slavery.
