View original postThe positions popularity with the US right (at least when the president is either a Democrat opposed to or Republican in favor of military action) was pure coincidence.


View original postI do not know if the UK has the saying, but I still believe "politics ends at the waters edge:" Whatever our partisan internal differences, Americans (or residents of any nation) should present a united front to the rest of the world so it cannot exploit those internal differences. That unwritten rule of US politics went out the window after October Surprise though; now any and all presidents political foes gleefully torpedo them in front of, say, Putin, or Queen Elizabeth.

It depresses me to realize that not a single decade of my life has passed without US military action Larry - 05/09/2013 07:28:39 AM 1164 Views
Yup, well said. *NM* ironclad - 05/09/2013 12:35:14 PM 322 Views
That's not even a vaguely complete list Isaac - 05/09/2013 01:11:25 PM 1028 Views
Which makes this even more depressing? (and yes, many were more police actions) *NM* Larry - 05/09/2013 04:58:24 PM 418 Views
Depressing or whichever, I'm ex-mil so it has a variety of extra overtones to me Isaac - 05/09/2013 05:54:28 PM 742 Views
You're absolutely right. The world is pretty peaceful today. In part due to US power. Tom - 05/09/2013 06:36:05 PM 710 Views
China? Burma? North Korea? Mexico? Joel - 06/09/2013 08:42:48 AM 768 Views
Oppressive governments =/= violent movements Tom - 06/09/2013 08:03:45 PM 787 Views
What a pile of horseshit you're throwing around... Tom - 05/09/2013 03:02:44 PM 719 Views
Yes, I was going off of memory *NM* Larry - 05/09/2013 04:57:21 PM 389 Views
On Qi I vaguely recall Yunalesca - 05/09/2013 07:58:35 PM 888 Views
Fairly plausible; way to put it in the right perspective Joel - 05/09/2013 10:34:30 PM 725 Views
By 'right' do you mean right as correct or right as in political stance? *NM* Yunalesca - 05/09/2013 10:56:59 PM 449 Views
Accurate, valid; no political or moral connotation was meant. Joel - 05/09/2013 11:10:15 PM 768 Views

Replace military action for me with civil wars, terrorism, murder over politics, etc *NM* Roland00 - 06/09/2013 02:44:45 AM 379 Views
War is inevitable, as long as 2 men are breathing. Better US than somebody worse *NM* Nighthawk - 07/09/2013 06:01:46 AM 373 Views
For the record, I'm still really irritated that "deaux" hasn't been corrected to "deux" *NM* Tom - 10/09/2013 05:19:58 PM 333 Views
Well, it was a typo I somehow missed. Corrected now. *NM* Larry - 11/09/2013 03:48:53 AM 353 Views
