>> What a stupidly simplistic argument. << keep on embarrassing yourself mr buschman. keep up your condescending way of telling gst and myself that we are idiots, while implying that you are so intellectually superior. you're not a college professor are you? you certainly act like many professors. if you are so intellectually superior why don't you explain why the question i posed was so simplistic and stupid. and why don't you prove your superiority by offering a better one. a perfect example of how condescending, arrogant, and intellectually bankrupt you are. first you criticize me for using big words like hegemony, then you criticize me for being simplistic. what a piece of work you are. as for my "stupidly simplistic argument", it seems rather poignant if you ask me. in just about every military campaign one must weigh the cost of casualties versus the stated goal. all i am asking of alomex and you is what ratio of american lives lost would justify saving "humanity". you two are the ones who said buchanan doesn't care about humanity. apparently alomex feels it's more important to save fifty non-americans if it means sacrificing one american. i simply asked if that would hold true for ten non-americans or two non-americans. how many american lives lost defending humanity is acceptable to you? this is a reasonable argument because actions taken by our government throughout the world lead to loss of lives. are you willing to put up with a holy war waged by terrorists all across the world while we fight a ten year war on muslim countries? how many humans are you willing to sacrifice to fight a war on terrorism that we cannot win? of course you call it stupid and simplistic and refuse to answer it because you know you cannot answer it to any satisfaction!
