<<Here's the road we are on:>>> Naaaaaah, you are the one off on a detour again.
<<1. the U.S. and allies continue to occupy Muslim territory, continue to bully and kill them, trying to force their capitulation. >>>
So the US and all its allies, which vary from time to time, are all a bunch of badies out to kill people? And force a capitulation to what demand? Who are the good guys? Name some- the French? Arafat? <<<2. More and more Muslim nations, and then sub-national organizations, acquire nuclear weapons.>>>
And what is your answer - back out of the ME, lock our borders, and do nothing about it?
<<3. they use them against the U.S., either in our homeland, or against our allies, or in our overseas Empire.>>
Thanks for explaining why the US is building up its security and armed forces, and for justifying the efforts of the Administration
>>4. The level of fear in the U.S. increases vastly from today's level. >> BS, The US converted fear caused by 911 into action. Or did you miss that?
<<5. McCarthy, and his methods, are re-habilitated, with Muslims assigned the role Communists had in the Cold War. 6. Anyone in the U.S. who advocates compromise, multilateralism, respect for other nation's sovereignty, listening to the issues raised by Muslims, any non-violent solution to any foreign policy problem, they are all silenced. Anyone who criticizes Israel is branded as anti-Semitic. The Peace movement is labelled as subversives, traitors, weaklings. >>> That does not leave many left over, maybe they will shut down this thread. <<<You are an Authoritarian, who believes in using Fear and Force to unify the nation against the Others. You reject all the ideas of the Enlightenment. You pretend to be defending the country, while attacking the principles it was founded on. You are the real Enemy Within.>>> Making new friends again are you? Sig |
