War is always bad, no one should like it, no one should consider it beneficial, but sometimes we are forced into it and although we may be willing to find a diplomatic solution, the offender may only seek the destruction of us, so we are forced to fight and lose some lives and morality, or give up and lose it all.
rowrow2inarow wow you are full of hate, The real villains are the ones that bomb the Innocent. I will pray that America survives so you have the freedom to trash it and its service men and women some more. but please wake up to the dangers of this world..oh and a little secret if America was gone tomorrow you'd be the first they come looking for..thing for one minute if there was no America scary isn't it...
War is not holy. There is no glory in murder! Fear compels us to fight, ignorance compels us to act on false claims. The truth is berried under the dead and dying masses. Ignore their pain and put on your rosy colored glasses. Greedy monsters push soldiers to their doom, because war is more profitable than peace. The real villains are not the ones with the guns but the ones with the big fancy offices who call the shots. T
@rowrow2inarow Didn't I just hear recently Dubbya say Iin the Huffington Post that "War boosts the US Economy?!? And didn't I hear it in a dream -- who is running our lives?!?!?!? I know they don't control MY mind!!!! WAR IS EVIL!!!!! AND WALL STREET WILL GO TO HELL!!!!!
@rowrow2inarow just wanted to go more indepth just incase people think your stupid with the fear pushing you to fight... well there is a simple rule to this its called fight or flight or the 2 f's basically states that when you are in fear you'll do 1 of 2 things fight or flight (depends on situation do you know what it is how big it is and person for which is done more often)
America, land of the free, home of the brave...who's soil is trenched in blood, who's air is filled with greed, who's water is overflowing with animosity towards those they view as lesser than they. Stop the killing, stop the war! War is never the option! The world belongs to all of us, and we are entitled to live in peace, in every part of the world. Peace should not be the luxury of a privileged few, it should be the common thread that binds us all together.
Foolish people here, when the terrorist attack if you do not fight back they will attack again and again and again. You people think war is never the answer, but you forget history. We sat back and refused to go to war when Hitler invaded country after country, do you think he would have stopped if we had not stopped him? The terrorist won't either. Go ahead bury your head in the sand, I'll be out here on the front line keeping you free to do so.
actually this is the second gulf war, I know, I've been in both, and sometime you have to do something until it is finished, we pulled out early last time. If we did not respond to 9/11 we would have been attacked again, if we start taking out terrorist, known terrorist before they hit us, we don't get hit, it's quite simple actually.
the generation that knows piece will be the generation that will not allow themselves to die for politicians. the generation that says no i will not go to war

killing and murdering are 2 different things in the bible god had the Israelis kill whole cities full of people. if you cant understand that then stfu and go watch the real world or go to a live earth concert and let the adults take care of things
@ChoukoCha So your way would have been let Hitler continue killing until he got bored with it? Sometimes the only way to stop a killer is to kill him, they wont just go away.
Well jett245 I came from the Marine corps and I am against this war and am not a pot smoking hippie so why don't you stop making really ignorant assumptions about your fellow americans
jett245 i agree with you totally. people are so dumb when there are muslims peice of shits killing americans and they dont want a war. we should bomb isreal and iraq and build disney lands
those muslim are crazy and those american are crazy to fighting for nothing.fighting is dumb .and if all places in the world are bombed i dont think anyone live to play in the disney land,
you cant solve all the worlds problmes w/ bombs. and its not all muslims dude, just a hand full. just like how not all Americans are jackass's, its just a handfull (and you in the handfull)
@1963ki War is regrettable, but sometimes neccessary. If we never are willing to fight then evil will triumph becuase it is willing to kill. If we had not been willing to fight slavery would not have ended, if no one was willing to go to war Hitler would not have simply walked away and quit killing. Peace is more than the absence of war, sometimes war is the only way to buy a real an lasting peace, regretable but true.
@mmareus What if you dont know who´s evil and you think your on the right side? Og course Hitler is one thing, not to forget the US did make business with this guy before the Soviets tuned the tables. And in Afghanistan there was no Hitler in Iraq there was one, they called him Saddam and he got in this position because of the US no one else!

The way I see it, this song by Buffett, with its insults and accusations (i.e., its own little war of words) is part of the problem and not part of the solution.
This song is NOT part of the problem. The problem is too many people ("sheeple") willing to take the Government's lies and deceptions at face value and not make any effort to raise consciousness or question the status quo. Someone must speak truth to Power -- the Media now belongs to the Corporations. It was Benito Mussolino who defined "FASCISM" as "the perfect marriage of the Corporations and the State." Wrapping it in an American flag does not make it smell any better.
Hey I liked your video. Sam Harris has a new song called War on War on Youtube and he's got a contest starting in March for people to put video to it. you might want to check it out!!
The reason we went in Iraq because Saddam was going to sell his Oil in Euro instead of the dollars. Now that Iran is talking about the same thing and i won't be shock & awe that we will go to Iran next. It's not about freedom or getting Saddam out. In the 70's and 80's he was our buddy . It's about the mighty dollar!!!!!
The filthy Bush pigs who are trying to force all American parents to sacrifice their children to the God of war are the same filthy pigs who helped carry out and cover up the 911 inside job!
Do you have a child in Iraq? A friend? A relative? Lets bring them home. You do not have to carry a rifle as they do. They carry a rifle to protect their lives and the lives of their friends in a bad situation. You do have a weapon just as important as their rifle to secure safety for them. Ron Paul. Your dollars are his bullets. He needs ammo now! Dig down our active vets are in peril and need you. Any amount will do! Just do it!
I don't know about US law, but under international law it is illegal because it was waged on a fabricated premise. For example, because the CIA and other intelligence agencies created fake reports and warnings over WMD and Alquida and used them as the justification for an invasion it is illegal. IF Bush had declared war in on the grounds of democracy alone it would have been "mostly" legal.
1) That would only be grounds for war if the UNSC approved it (As a signatory to the resolution the US is bound only to act against non compliance with the agreement of the other signatories).
2) None of the resolutions that he failed to comply with provided grounds for an invasion.
3) Bush specifically laid down the grounds for war as being WMD and terrorism, but those grounds were fabricated, making the war illegal.
You've got it the wrong way round. It's not the war itself that is illegal, its the reason for the war.
There could b a million legal reasons to go to war, but if yo choose to fabricate a reason then the war is illegal, regardless of anything else.
As for balls, well, let's just say that Congress wouldn't have had the balls either if they were asked to go to war over the resolutions alone. It took a fabricated threat to get them moving.
