Frank Miller is awesome. |

| This is what I'm talking about. You have to meet sixth century barbarism with twenty-first century barbarism. That is all they understand. Put Israel and Palestine in a ring and let them two duke it out to the death. Invade North Korea and get it over with. Continuing with this detente BS for decades with no final resolution will just create generations of even more hostile kids. |

| Because they waited so long to do it. I say invade anyway, I bet he's bluffing. Even if he's not, chances are great that he way over-estimated their military prowess. |

Miller is in Hollywood, where even broaching the subject exposes one to accusations of being a Bushitler sympathiser. You can imagine the heat he must get for choosing not to be a drone in the leftist hive. For going against the Hollywood establishment he gets called fearful and ignorant, whereas if he toed the line and made a film denigrating the U.S, he'd get nothing but adoration and slaps on the back. And then they'd call him brave. |

Damn it, your right. America needs to invade another country, it was getting kinda boring on the news recently, and the anti-white guy/anti-western sentiment from the average joe on the street is wearing off.
Can't you leave well enough alone?
Anyway, next time choose a country where you can actually win within a reasonable time frame, will ya?
Let's see, maybe Monaco (is Monaco a country?), or the Vatican. The Swiss Guard only have pikes as weapons and golf carts to get around in, so I imagine the drones will be able to pick them off without too much trouble. And there won't be so any problems about identifying them either. They also have a distinct dress style, check out this link.

Bonus points for both countries as they both belong to Old Europe, especially Monaco which is the smallest French speaking country in the world. Nice, midget cheese-eating surrender monkeys. Hoo waa!
I imagine the USA should be able to finish this in about 2-3 years, judging by its past successes in war over the last 40 years. |

Do you think these "terrorists" are just random people who are pissed off at the US?
There are people in power that are supporting, organizing, funding,harboring, and recruiting these Islamofascists. Even Barack Obama knows who the enemy is.
It is ignorant to deny that we are fighting a war on terror, and that there ARE actual enemies.
Also, ever since Gulf War 1, Iraq had openly defied the world, and Saddam had been giving the finger to everyone. Somehow people easily forget Saddam Hussein, and paint Bush as a tyrant.
Ignorant people are the ones that "forget" the atrocities Saddam Hussein, and his regime caused in Iraq.
BTW, here is a nice quote from Barack Obama
| Quote: |
Iran�s President Ahmadinejad�s regime is a threat to all of us. His words contain a chilling echo of some of the world�s most tragic history.
Unfortunately, history has a terrible way of repeating itself. President Ahmadinejad has denied the Holocaust. He held a conference in his country, claiming it was a myth.
But we know the Holocaust was as real as the 6 million who died in mass graves at Buchenwald, or the cattle cars to Dachau or whose ashes clouded the sky at Auschwitz. We have seen the pictures. We have walked the halls of the Holocaust museum in Washington and Yad Vashem. We have touched the tattoos on loved-ones arms. After 60 years, it is time to deny the deniers.
In the 21st century, it is unacceptable that a member state of the United Nations would openly call for the elimination of another member state. But that is exactly what he has done.
Neither Israel nor the United States has the luxury of dismissing these outrages as mere rhetoric. |

Well, no. They're quite good at war. Occupation has been the failure.

The whole "religion of peace" thing died quite quickly. Now the story is that they are "misunderstanders of islam", which is just another empty platitude. But over the past few years I've noticed a strong trend towards Western people realizing that islam is the problem. It is still largely un-pc to say so in public, but getting less so.
But I disagree that invading or otherwise attacking these states is a solution. Just stop importing hordes of muslims and *presto* we're more safe. Terrorism is first a policing/intelligence issue and second (a very close second) an immigration issue. We have absolutely no way to separate the obedients from the 'cultural muslims'. Immigration policy should reflect this. |

This is true. The US military has proven it can clear a battlefield with a quickness. It was designed to kill people and blow shit up, and it's generally regarded as being the best in the world in that capacity. I think alot of people are confused and unable to see the difference between winning a military conflict and maintaining peace in a foreign country once the smoke clears.
Oh, and sharkey's an idiot, given fact. |

| True Caniff, and the irony is the American government is its own worst enemy when it comes to these imperial solutions. |
