Sad to say, but there has and always will be Wars and rumors of Wars....
And he's fighting for Democracy, he's fighting for the Reds
He says "It's for the peace of all" He's the one who must decide, who's to live and who's to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall
But without him How would Hitler have condemned him at Labau?
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war
And without him all this killing can't go on

Wars have been going on for thousands of years and will continue to do so.
Unfortunately, innocent lives are lost.
And yes, the U.S. government itself is guilty, as well as others.

3. Though I am positive there is deception when we have gone to war & that corporations have obviously taken advantage....the difference between us and them...is that THEY want to kill our civilians. They have no problem bombing train stations in the UK or plotting suicide missions in busy squares in the US. News flash...they are not targeting military. We are simply playing chess and are taking key positions to be better prepared for aggression against us or our interests. Since I am American. I am GLAD. I'd rather be here than anywhere else.
War is ugly on both sides....but, I am glad I am an American and that I served on the side I did...and that I get to live here and enjoy the luxuries and privileges I have.

We wouldn't have to be prepared for aggression if we weren't there, correct? Also, what do you believe our "interests" are in the Middle East?

You are so screwed up in the head.
Anything that kills little children is unacceptable to me. We do not have to live like this and the fact that we do is proof that an evil intelligence exists.
SnF OP and thank youi. You deserve about 5000 flags for bringing this forward.
WAR IS FOR WARMONGERS
You got that?edit on 3-10-2012 by randyvs because: (no reason given)

Some thoughts from someone that has actually served in the military.
Several things on this comical video which sensationalizes and embellishes with propaganda and alarmist BS....
1. When I served in Iraq, I didn't shoot any women or children. No one in my unit shot at any women or children. I never witnessed anyone targeting women or children...HOWEVER, we came under fire several times...from women and children. My friend in particular had his hand shot off and still has bullet fragments in his head because he took fire from a kidand refused to kill him. So...to the creator of this ridiculous video...I say, FU.
2. We do not target civilians. We target key strategic positions. Unfortunately, the cowards opposing us, many times hid amongst civilians or set up HQ purposely among civilians. The dead's families should point fingers elsewhere.

History has proven otherwise. If you think that the world would be in a utopian fairytale land where the United States would have no enemies or potential attackers if its foreign policy stance was to ignore everyone and keep to itself, you are not living in reality. Religion, ideologies & ambition would drive other countries to seek power or expansion. No one likes the fact that we (The United States of America) have to be the aggressor or take a preemptive approach in order to be relatively safer....but that is the world we live in. I for one am glad and happy and grateful I am on this side of the equation & sympathize with those who are not. And make no mistake, that is what it comes down to. Oil money? That's just a benefit...the ultimate goal is to lock in allies (UK, Israel....etc) and cause instability and internal issues for those with potential to give us problems, while we establish key military positions. That's it. And given the ideologies of some of our potential enemies, I have no problem with that.
EDIT: I want to clarify that the objective is NOT to win any wars or "spread democracy"/ That would be nice but it's complete BS. It is again, to take up strategic positions and maintain the allies we already have by trading political favors and improving our role in global trade. There is economic instability right now, as the world populations grow and technology changes the playing field so, more than ever we have to adapt and stay active. Anyone who thinks we don't have to play that game is naive.edit on 3-10-2012 by Unidentified_Objective because: Momma says knock you out
