SO, by your logic and in your own opinion, we the innocents, should just lay down, let theterroristsUS Military, private defence contractors walk all over us, slaughter our loved ones as they wish, and let them force whatever they wish upon our throats?
Do know that innocent people did not bomb or kill or torture any of the terrorists or their families. They did to us all first.
Had the terrorists sought for justice or societal progress in the humane way? None. They rejected ALL offers of even negotiations, and sought for annihilation for anyone who stood in their way, leaving mankind with no choice but to react and defend themselves.
Thus, before you blame the innocent ones, do look closely at whom the terrorists truly are, and why they existed and continue to exists.
The political violence that broke out across Ireland in 1919, and which continued on and off until 1923, had its origins in Irish nationalist demands for Home Rule within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and unionist resistance to those demands.
The IRA fought a guerrilla war against the Crown forces in Ireland from 1919 to July 1921. The most intense period of the war was from November 1920 to July 1921.
Intelligence communities agree with you? Which one? Persian, China CCP and Russian ones?
Baer has publicly acknowledged that he worked field assignments in Madras and New Delhi, India, Beirut, Lebanon, Dushanbe, Tajikistan, Morocco, and Salah al-Din in Iraqi Kurdistan during his twenty-one years with the CIA. During the mid-1990s, Baer was sent to Iraq with the mission of organizing opposition to Iraqi president Saddam Hussein but was recalled and investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for allegedly conspiring to assassinate the Iraqi leader.
I must have been reading your op in an alternate universe. You don't know me, and I never come off as anyone owing me anything. I simply said what I said, and that's that. I based what I said about you beccause that's how you portrayed yourself, like some hoo rah badass who enjoys his tours a little too much. I'm done here. You have a good one. ETA:I see all of these threads about people serving, and you're disgraced because I said that my family served honorably? REALLY? Ok, champ.

You confused me there. I do in believe psychological interrogation methods. There is a reason we have lie detectors and voice analysis programs that help let us know when you are lying. Breaking legs and arms back fires more often than it helps. So using simple, but effective psychological torture is effective, much more effective than breaking bones.
No Idea why you think torture makes me aroused. How about you be constructive and provide information that I can see instead of saying I love torture.
Congratulations, your family did their duty. So has mine. We deserve nothing special for doing our duty. So you can call names all day long. You and your family did nothing no other American would not be required to do.
Neither has my family or myself. Being in the military is not a badge of honor. We did our duty, and there is no reason to speak of it. What I find sad is people wearing military duty as a badge of honor. It isn't. You did your JOB, which I remind you, we are generously rewarded for by the American people.edit on 18-10-2012 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)
Killing innocent civilians is one of the main things which increases terrorism. As one of the top counter-terrorism experts (the former number 2 counter-terrorism expert at the State Department) told me, starting wars against states which do not pose an imminent threat to America’s national security increases the threat of terrorism because:
One of the principal causes of terrorism is injuries to people and families.
(Indeed, Al Qaeda wasn’t even in Iraq until the U.S. invaded that country.)
And top CIA officers say that drone strikes increase terrorism (and see this).

An eye for an eye will only leaves the whole world blind in the end. Thus we do have RULE OF LAW, of which ANY human whom is wronged, or think he is wronged, can seek for justice, locally and even internationally, as ICJ cases had proven with actual war criminals whom slew both combatants and non combatants, and not soldiers carrying out their orders in defense of their loved ones and country.

It is people with blindness, ignorance, hatred for authority, misguided idealogies, hatred for the west using mythical and unsubstantiated lies/propaganda, and hatred for the rule of law, that allows them to grow and fester. SO..who are the morons now?
May you and others like you judge yourselves fairly and honestly before the mirror. Truth is painful, it often is, but is far more betther than living in hate, lies and delusions.edit on 18-10-2012 by SeekerofTruth101 because: (no reason given)
