“Oh, so being “defender” is what makes things right?”

Usually, that’s a reasonable standard for national defense or even personal defense. But I could be wrong, we certainly could lead a blitz on the rest of the world after all we are the master race. There’s a certain degree of consideration for those whom must defend themselves against an aggressor. Or am I wrong?

“So, I guess by your logic that makes Vietnam a just war since we were a defender there as well.”

No we weren’t the defenders there, we were interlopers trying to keep a corupt political system in place because it served our interests. We were on the defensive because our politicans wanted us to be. This is one of the first… fighting with one arm behind our back conflicts…our new style of dumb warfare.

" You did support the Vietnam War didn’t you?"

No, I didn’t. It wasn’t a war we had any business in either.

" Does that make Bill Clinton an aggressor since he attacked the Balkans?"

Why is it always about BC with you? It’s like you think others are so enamoured with BC that they can’t think for themselves. Your hang up isn’t mine, sorry. BC aint the best thing since sliced bread. He only appears that way because he’s sandwiched between the Bush family.

" In fact, didn’t he also attack Iraq? Or, is it when you bomb from 30,000 feet it doesn’t count as aggression? "

And how many American troops were blown up enforcing the nofly zone? You always seem to think those who disagree with you are doves, not really. But I’m not a chicken hawk either. You don’t have to be liberal to see BAD military policy and actions. You don’t have to be liberal to SEE lives being wasted to hold power back here. In fact, you can be conservative and recognize what a screw up this is and how bad the leadership is. Maybe not you as you try to justify this F ubar situation. Sorry, ain’t drinking that cool aid.
