Actually, the best thrill for the $ is standing offshore and shelling the
everloving hell out of some *******(s) who truly deserve it!

One can hit their rack after a hard nights work and go to sleep with that warm
fuzzy feeling.

Can't be beat.

If you want to defeat someone, it helps to see through their eyes.

Crusades, Tripoli, 1920, Al Saud, Operation Ajax. Perception is
reality, moreso than ''truth''.

Doesn't sound like a "first thing we did was attack Muslims
on the other side of the world", with the implication that
it was preemtive in any way. If you want to build your
case, you'd better a) read the entry first, and not just
hope we don't read it, and b) learn a little history from
some books (I'd recommend Tindall's "America: A
Narrative History" volumes for a general overview)
before you sound off.

Hiroshima would have been sufficient. Nagasaki was just for fun.

There's debate over that too. An off shore blast using an old
battleship would have served as an example. The American military
wanted to see just exactly what the bomb would do to real humans, so
the decision to use hundreds of thousands lives as guinea pigs was
made. War makes scum out many sorts.

The birth defects after the war were atrocious. They set up special
hospital wards for some of them, just to keep the victims out of sight.

::yawn:: How original. I'm surprised you didn't bring
up the Romans and the Greeks to support your viewpoint.

If you want to defeat someone, do what Genghis Khan
did.

Nagasaki was because the Japanese didn't respond to
our demand for unconditional surrender.

Well, its too bad you are so disconnected from the boys and girls that make
up the American armed forces. We have fought animals and defeated them
before, and we're defeating them now. Not one generation of Americans has
known exemption from having to deal with countries and peoples who tortured
and murdered their prisoners as well as their own countrymen. The muslims
aren't much different in that respect than the Germans, Japanese, Koreans,
Vietnamese, Sandanistas, Serbs, Taliban or fundamentalist muslim anywhere.
We can and do defeat them without turning into something repuilsive, or
proscribing a lack of freedoms in our own country that would alarm Thomas

Nagasaki, Dresden, My Lai, etc.


david, David. DAVID !

* "Dresden" was during the presidency of FDR a Democrat.

* "Nagasaki" was during the presidency of Harry Truman a Democrat.

* "My Lai" was during the presidency of LBJ a Democrat.
