Albert Pike thought we should be. Just a thought.
maybe we should go over there and help. but as you can see, when our government does it, you can see how much more _____(This is not the street!!!!!!!!) up it gets.
also, ever heard of the term "blowback"?
So we just need to sit back and let it happen? Let children get tortured? Just because its not our job or just because we were blessed by the grace of a supreme being to have us born in the USA. I bet you money if that was your kid or if you were born in Iraq you sure would want something done. These people can't choose where they want to be born. And for this man to continue to on the police force says worlds about the some of the people there. I am just saying you can't say we are not the police force of the world. At what point does a MORAL responsibilty become the RIGHT thing to do?
For discussion:
If our country can should we? I'm not saying the Iraq war is right but should we step in if a humanitarian issue is needed? I know this happens a ton in Africa but to what can we if anything do? What allows this to become acceptable in people?
our country shouldn't be policing the world. if you see someone doing something awful, go fix it. don't force the entire population of the united states to pay for it.
I don't care who did or didn't say, they were right - "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"!
Like I heard in a movie recently (Gone Baby Gone, I think), I take sides and if you hurt children you ain't on my side.
Let's Roll!!!
ah, let's go around the world making sure that nothing wrong happens ever. makes sense.
While those savages deserve to meet their maker, I'm sure that you could find similar cases of abuse here in the US. Nope, we've done enough for Iraq.
kudos
The evil that one human will visit upon another is unfathomable. Fortunately, there are men like us in the world. Each of us a point of light in the darkness. The Scottish Rite refers to us as 'Soldiers of Light'. If we have the courage of our convictions, our daily lives are an affront on the vanguard of darkness always threatening mankind.
i'm all for it. but the united states government should have nothing to do with it. i find that when people aren't forced by their military obligations to fight someone else's war, they don't.
we have a contract with the united states saying that they will protect us from threats, foreign and domestic. this is not a threat to us, theretofor, the united states is violating their contract with us by funding the conflict against those people.
"It's atrocious, it's atrocious!" is the cry I hear, but I rarely see someone buying a ticket to go over there on a plane to kill them on their on volition.
that pretty much sums up what i have to say about it.
