The point is, we tend to claim the high moral ground in this country for our military actions, and since we sometimes behave as badly as our enemies, it's just another "my country right or wrong" hypocrisy. That moral high ground is mostly a myth anyway. Which war was "moral"? If you don't think the OSS or the FBI used coercive interrogation methods you have been watching too many movies. 'Moral high ground' is a term used by liberals who disagree that a threat may exist or should be defeated. Wrong as usual. Moral high ground is a synonym right-wing dip****s like you use to justify your feelings of 'my country, right or wrong." It's the simplethink that people like you use to justify the slaughter of a million plus SE Asians and 100,000+ Iraqis and Afghanis in pursuit of a right-wing war against the wrong countries. I thought it was a left wing war. LBJ was a Democrat. === As was Kennedy of course. Classic case of selective forgetfulness on Harry's part, not to mention some revisionist history. That there were and are right-wing dip****s who believe in my country right or wrong has nothing to do with Kennedy, who, btw, was hardly a leftie. Kennedy increased our involvement from a couple hundred covert guys to thousands in uniform, LBJ took it to a half a million. Nixon was the one who got us out and Ford closed the door. Nixon got us out after raising the stakes on bombing but finally paid attention to the protestors and his impending political demise (Watergate, remember?) and started the process of really ending the war, none of which has anything to do with my comment about right-wingers who are the "my country, right or wrong" dip****s. -- I feel no need to explain my politics to stupid right-wingers.

Have you forgotten about Saddam invading Kuwait and the 34 nations who joined with the US to boot him out? As for war planning, the Pentagon (under any president) is constantly developing "what if" scenarios for virtually any conflict or contingency. Greg posited that *all* the wars in which we engaged in the 20th Century were entered when Democratic presidents were in office. My counterposit was that Greg was incorrect, and I offered an example. The cause of that first Gulf War is not relevant to either Greg's claim or my counterclaim. And of course your second point about planning is correct. Retrospective analysis of complex actions like wars usually requires looking beyond simple reasons. Trying to attribute them to the party of the party in the White House is simple minded. -- Let’s elect a gay black woman with a latino lover president, if only for the possibility of provoking a right-wing mass suicide.

Reagan planned the Gulf War, 3 years before Saddam invaded Kuwait? Do tell. You guys really have to get your story straight. I have no problem finding plenty of articles from liberals complaining that the Reagan administration was too friendly to Saddam. That was a move started by the Carter administration and by Zbigniew Brzezinski in particular. How many Americans died in the first gulf war? Are you really going to compare that to Vietnam or Korea, both unnecessary wars and we lost both. Oh, wait, you libertarians believe Reagan and Bush were Democrats, right? Yes we do believe there was very little difference between GHWB and the democrats. Actually, Korea is not lost. Is still going on. Still meetings in Panmunjom I think. |

Well, of course, that was hogwash, and fellow was hooted in class for the day. I think it might have been the instructor who said that, actually.

In any event, I enjoy your dissertations...for a while, anyway. :) You never pointed out anything I said that was not true. Oh, really? Gosh. Well, then, let's post an example that shoots your comment about U.S. wars in the 20th Century/Democratic presidents to hell in a handbasket. How about...the *first* Gulf War, kinda planned in the Reagan misadministration and planned for real and executed in the G. H. W. Bush administration. How many Americans died in the first gulf war? What? Are you now claiming that the first gulf war doesn't count as a war stated under a Republican president because not enough Americans died? It is the excuse you guys use when anyone wants to bring up Kosovo, Haiti or Somalia. Well, of course, because in everything important, Kosovo, Haiti, and Somalia, and the first Gulf War are all equivalents in the non-critical loonytarian mind. You are the one trying to equate a 100 hour war in Kuwait with a 10 year war in Vietnam and a war in Korea that is still technically going on. We are simply in a cease fire. No I am not. I am simply pointing out the error of a previous comment of yours, you know, the one in which you claimed that *all* our wars in the previous century were initiated during the presidencies of Democrats. And please don't tell me that Jimmy Carter was responsible for that war. Carter is responsible for lots of the present wars! He basically showed we would do nothing if we were attacked. A year of hostages in our embassy? Ghengis Khan would have laid waste to Iran. Fact is he did it over his ambassadors being killed back in the 1200's. Carter is responsible for none of the hostages Iran held being executed, and Reagan is responsible for selling us out in Iran. -- Patriotic Americans dump on Krause. |

If I take all of these little interventions into account it is 14 to 4 and the 4 include Granada, Panama and the Mexican border incursion to catch Poncho Villa along with the 100 hour gulf war. In the D side you have WW1 that we really could have avoided, Vietnam and Korea that were totally unnecessary WWII that was inevitable. There were 10 other minor to major involvements from Kosovo and Bosnia to misadventures like Somalia. Whatever point you were trying to make as to connections between wars and who is holding the white house was specious. I don't know much about the Korean Conflict, but I do agree Vietnam was avoidable. Is this how you tuck your tail between your legs and slink off to lick your wounds? -- Patriotic Americans dump on Krause. |
