I agree with being the "police of the world" as it has been described here.
If we don't do it, no one else will.
No one else. Stop. Pause. Reflect.
I'm not particularly fond of the situation, but it is what it is.
I believe we have gone to war about as wisely as was possible at that time, in my memory.
I'm cursed with the knowledge of just how heinous our fellow man can be, coupled with a set of principles that says that on my watch, "this will not stand." The fucking advantage-takers will not have the advantage any longer.
You girls can debate it all you want, and I will not argue, but I say that if given the chance, I will stand for me, my country, my principles, what is right and fair, my family, SOMEONE ELSE's FAMILY, and all of the simple rights that all desire. When I am there on the ground, I will give my life before I back down on these kinds of principles. My life. It's worked so far.
I saw in my lifetime Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge roll, for one small example. Not in a history book, on the ground. We live with evil. We really do. If you don't know who the Khmer Rouge are (reflect a moment, here) then you REALLY need to STFU and take a remedial history lesson (including ALL genocides, including later ones) before spouting off. imo
I'd like to hear about your INVESTMENT in changing this world, just ONCE. If you feel that voting for Obama was one of those, (for example) tell me about it...if you feel like it... in a nation that is STILL AT WAR, (while most sit on the sidelines)
