For the defeatist wimps who said &quot;it will be another Vietnam!&quot;... Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Please post your official apology here. You may recant your idiocy without begging or grovelling, just a quick admittance of how wrong you were.

Apologies are as follows (This is your part!):

For what should they apologize? Having an opinion at varience with your own? Refusing to following the imperial march? carrying that Americans might spend years wasting their lives in a death trap?

I don't see that they need to apologize.

No Victor, that won't happen. Bush will get reelected for practical purposes. Who the hell do you want to be president? Some idiotic democratic? There goes the country, how about another Carter?

Anyways, I demand an apology from those who said this would be another Vietnam. They obviously are the minority view and were proven wrong. The Taliban are set to surrender this friday.

You'd think that Victor, except every few weeks the government will issue a terrorist warning to keep people scared, and every few months they will attack another backward 3rd world country. I think there are enough countries to last until 2004.

Get your head out your own ass. (that's to the thread's creator too). I didn't think it would be another Vietnam - just a quick act of revenge (right or wrong). But if people want their own opinion that's their choice. Anti-war protestors shouldn't have to apologise to anyone for their views.

And conservative parties have always been anti-freedom (wtih the odd rare exception). A coupla hundred years ago they were anti democracy, last century they were anti-women's suffrage, now they are anti-gay rights.

They're always prooven wrong in the end

"Bush will get reelected for practical purposes."

-He's already destroyed the budget surplus and a good deal of civil liberties.

"There goes the country, how about another Carter?"

-I suppose. I'd preffer a more Clinton-like, or LBJ-like figure, but I'll take what I can get.

"You'd think that Victor, except every few weeks the government will issue a terrorist warning to keep people scared, and every few months they will attack another backward 3rd world country. I think there are enough countries to last until 2004."

-And by then the economy will be so messed up... unless Bush actually does something right... (:lol

Besides, I have more grounds to oppose the war on... admittedly, if I'd known it was this easy, I would probably have been less vocal.

Sure they can voice their own opinion. But that opinion has been proven wrong because the taliban surrendered. Now I am asking for a sensible apology.

Not true. Leftists communists have had the history of murdering large parts of their population. Like Stalin and Mao. Don't tell me they aren't true communists, in my view they are. I am a freedom fighter fighting for the best of the civilized world.

quote:

The term liberal and conservative basically did a switch. Before 1929, the Conservatives were against small government and for isolation. Today the Liberals are for big government and isolation and the Conservatives are for small government and free trade.

Anti-gay rights are for the better. Its not like they deserve any rights anyways.

The liberals would of destroyed four hundred times more civil liberties like the right to carry guns.

Anyways, he didn't destroy the budget surplus, the recession did. His tax cut provided relief for average middle class people who had their backs broken by immense taxes enacted by the Clinton regime.

Umm, how did you equate that to Communism? Labour are not communist. The Liberals are not communists, just like the conservatives aren't fascists. How do you manage to link things to the extreme?

Isolation is not a conservative goal, it is now on the side of the "liberals". True Liberalism is free markets, but the "liberals" today like you propose against that. Liberal means free, therefore you don't fit that description I do. The "liberals" of today mean immense taxes and other crap.

"Now I am asking for a sensible apology."

-So people should apologize for their opinions? When did you become PC?

"Not true. Leftists communists have had the history of murdering large parts of their population. Like Stalin and Mao. Don't tell me they aren't true communists, in my view they are. I am a freedom fighter fighting for the best of the civilized world."

-More like wannabe Hitler.

"The liberals would of destroyed four hundred times more civil liberties like the right to carry guns. "

-That's not a right.

"Anyways, he didn't destroy the budget surplus, the recession did. His tax cut provided relief for average middle class people who had their backs broken by immense taxes enacted by the Clinton regime."

Alright, with that settled everything is settled. Many here were going after conservatives because they accuse them of being nazis for showing opposition to gay rights for example and to abortion. Just because they have that opposition do not make up false crap about them and let them be. They will like-wise let you be.

quote:

Because they is a word that fits a group. I like using simple english. Other words:

Them, They, etc. Those words describe a group.

You hit this one on the nail:

Does this sound familiar:

Before the gulf war:

Iraq has the world's 4th largerst military....They beat Iran....Amercans aren't used to fighting in the desert....The Army has ordered 25,000 bodybags....If Iraq attacks Israel it will cause WWIII....We won't be able to win in their home territory....Its a quagmire....IT WILL BE ANOTHER VIETNAM


Fast forward to Milosevec:

They've been fighting like that for 500 years....We will need a significant number of ground troops....This could lead to war in Europe....We on't be able to win by bombing....Its a quagmire....IT WILL BE ANOTHER VIETNAM


Fast forward to Afghanistan:

They beat the English....They beat the Soviets....It will ignite the entire Muslim world against us and lead to WWIII....We will not be able to penetrate thier caves...We will need 50,000 ground troops...Its a quagmire....IT WILL BE ANOTHER VIETNAM.


Whoever we have to use military force against next:

There will be comments about our inability fight on that foreign soil....There will be the list of foes that were beaten by whoever we have to engage....There will be predictions of high casualties and enormous amounts of groundtroops....There will be the prediction of WWIII....It will be a quagmire....IT WILL BE ANOTHER VIETNAM.

Zykla (or whatever), oh you're soo brave. Sitting infront of a screen miles away from any war or the people you're calling wimps. You're sp brave.

Loser.

Besides, do you know anything about the vietnam war? Probably not. What have the war accompliced? It has removed one regime and replaced it with another.

Will it be democratic and promote peace and stability?
I wouldn't beat on it.

Will this mean anything really?
No.

Will people that hate the west and the US change their mind?
No.

Is this doing anything about the reasons for international terrorism? No

Just heard that 40 professors that's not patriotic enough have been blacklisted in the US. making the world safe for democracy...

Nietzche once said something like "when figthing against beasts you'll have to be careful not turning into one yourself.". hypocricy.
