how long until mccain starts calling the Syrian opposition as patriotic rebels and demands the the US taxpayers start funding them with non-leathal material? What happen to McCain? Did he take an oath to support and defend the Constitution? What a disappoint......
What is the Constitutional basis for the USA's involvement in Libya? Whis is Obama targeting M. Khaddafi and why did Obama order the killing of Khaddafi's youngest son? Will Obama and McCain, etc be subject to a war crimes trial in the world court?
@mzambo666 The United States did not start any inter-hemisphiric wars without international consensus or even praise until very recently. In fact, the U.S. has brokered peaces throughout the world, ended wars by noble intervention, and maintained the sovereignty and security of the world for nearly 70 years. Its capitalist, democratic example has illuminated human civilization for hundreds of years.
huh? Names something italy, france, or UK has accomplishedin the last 100 years militarily without US leadership or assitance. (falklands does not count).
years of evolution is not easily overcome, but human history is littered with examples of individuals who said, "No", to their inner ape, their instincts. It can be done. The trick is to SEE it first. Then you can resist.
"The United State has to lead, if the US doesn't lead--then nobody leads"----this is an epiphany for me-----the hegemon is, indeed, hegemony! No doubt, France is aggressively promoting its geopolitical interests, notably in the war zone of so called Third World Countries. On a side note, I wonder how France feel about Senator McCain's comments?
@MsWanderer1 the difference between them killing each other, is that the wrong people may end up winning, like fundamentalist fascists, and growing as a force
Fuck John McCain. I say this out of the sheer intellectual frustration of dealing with his supporters and of all of these stupid, stupid "wars". America is going down, in a big way. Notice the chinese aren't out policing the world
@99minerkc Industrial innovation for one. They're also the country that remained economically functional throughout the world economic crisis. There are some benefits to their form of governance. The problem is that the enforcement methods employed are horrific by most standards.
@theskepticalheretic Yeah, you would think that by now(2011)some more acceptable human rights would be in place. Oh well, you made some good points here. thanks for responding.
As an American I'd like to state that I have no intrest in leading the world. Most of us are sick of leading - it's a thankless job, and one that someone else should be given the chance to fail at.
@ArcaneKarma hey..who asked you? Did vietnam ask you to lead untold thousands to their death, Were you asked to lead into Iraq more untold thousands to their deaths? Golly YOU led yourselves to the oil. US known as criminal warmongers and so they play the game of you lead so we don't look bad now. A thankless job??? The robbery of other countries resources has been very profitable for some. Thank you very much. Please try to understand how your gov/ military work. Give the world a breaK!!!!
@landlogger - oh please, if we're Dr. Evil than countries like Australia are Canada are our henchmen. Maybe the world needs a knight is shinning armor, someone from North Korea, or Iran, HA!
@ArcaneKarma PT 1: Respectfully you will learn as time goes on. I hope. No one is interested in attacking U.S. Has Iran or North Korea ever attacked or even threatened? All this terror fear stuff is a scam to keep you supporting US wars. All this info. is out there. They are corporate wars. Rich get richer and poor die. My hope is that one of the Nato countries will be the shining knight and say stop! this is enough. Many are ready to do this.
@ArcaneKarma PT 2: If there were all these dangerous Muslims roaming in the states wanting to kill people well There is all kinds of Government, military, higher up people wandering around by themselves and they haven't been killed even though they are easy targets!! there is nothing to justify the killing of a million plus people. Especially on a George Bush lie. Canada and Aust, were not in Iraq or Vietnam thank God. US still leading. Words are hollow. Obama lies.
@landlogger - Australia was in both Iraq and Vietnam. You’re being incredibly naïve about how the world works. There aren’t a hand full of evil rich people whom are making the world a violent place. In fact, in the 20th century you were less likely to die a violent death than in any previous century. Would you be happy if we could being Saddam Hussein back from Hell, or put the Taliban back in power? I’m willing to put enough faith in your character to guess not.
@ArcaneKarma PT 1: Expected this kind of reply as I've met your type many times. You don't even respond with intellect just defending which furthers nothing. You will see whether you want to or not. I suggest tthat you ask the civilians of Iraq if the world is a violent place! I have friends there and they would disagree as they live in it. It is not OK to kill people for oil and strategic territory. Aust. believed Bush lies like so many did. This is painful. Learn on your own. Save lives.
@ArcaneKarma PT 2: You could start here. U.S. victims of foreign policy and coups.
krysstal.com/democracy_whyusa06.html I never mentioned evil rich people but even you have to wonder. By the way their are those getting it together to charge Bush for crimes.
@ArcaneKarma You don't seriously believe that the USA has appointed itself as world leader for selfless reasons ? The USA has been building an Empire by invading militarily or bribing world leaders to allow US corporations to strip 3rd World countries of their resources. Thankless? Ha ha ha, it's like Hitler expecting gratitude from Poland. Wake up, the US has been infiltrated by globalists and manipulated into helping their push for economic world domination. A Fascist State is the end result.
@felixq78 - Your sentiment is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s as if the United States is hapless Don Quixote, who comes upon a princess already dead, and is accused of her murder. The naïve militarism of the United States has lead only to hardship and scorn. The answer to your question is that we didn’t appoint ourselves as world leader, we simply become one after the Cold War.
we have no choice but to lead. What makes america so great is that we can sit back and think. What country in the world benifits the world by being the most powerfulcountry. If china was the most powerful country would the world be better. If Iran was the most power? If India? Or the passive, and indeccisive EU? America must lead, for only we can!
God forbid other countries should learn they can function as UN enforcers. AND the weapons they use might not be USA manufactured. This is an unneccessary risk of lost revenue.
"What sense does that make?" - McCain on his very high horse
You know, I can't believe I'm saying this, but frankly, I mostly agree with John McCain. Iran was in the exact same position as Libya last month, with uprisings in the street, protests for democracy, ect.
I have no idea why we decided that we militarily oppose Qataffy but not Ahmadinejad. The Iranians fought for democracy and lost, and too many of us just ignore this fact.
