"All of us have heard this term 'preventive war' since the earliest days of Hitler....I don't believe there is such a thing; and, frankly, I wouldn't even listen to anyone seriously, that came in and talked about such a thing." --President Eisenhower, 1953, upon being presented with plans to wage "preventive war" against the Soviet Union
"How far you can go, without destroying from within, what you are trying to defend from without?" - Eisenhower
<...terrible harm to ones people...oh, gee, what should we do? should we wait, or should we preempt?>
Where have I heard that before...
...oh, yes....that's what JWB and Colin Powell said in 2002-3, explaining why America had to invade Iraq, and right now, today, otherwise America was at risk from all those chemical, biological weapons Saddam had...visions of mushroom clouds over Chicago...it's a Defensive Preemptive Necessary War Of Prevention/Aggression For Freedom and the HomeLand... ...We Must Save Civilization!!!... ...only cowards and traitors can't see it (so send them to Guantanamo, or a Re-Education Camp in Inner Mongolia)...
...what you say...that's what the Czar said, when he declared war on Germany in 1914...And President Wilson said it again, in 1917... (and both of them jailed their irritating Socialists who disagreed)...you'd probably have me jailed, if I was Chinese, for speaking against the occupation of Tibet...
...that's what Napolean said, when he invaded Russia in 1812...
...that's what Batu Khan (Genghis's grandson) said, to justify his invasion of Hungary in 1241...the Mongols were a long long way from home...didn't matter...
...that's probably what the Cro Magnons said, as they drove to extinction the Neanderthals 30,000 years ago...
I stand with Eisenhower; you stand with GWB and a long line of Preempters...
