Cost of War

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Go there. It's very interesting.

I found the link to it here.

No one said war was cheap.

Lemme guess, you're a conservative so you're supporting Bush...

Nobody said war was necessary either.

His polls have gone lower than Bill Clinton's. That's a huge sign.

War is innevitable. Just face it. Humans will always fight each other. Besides, would you have wanted to live in fear of Suddam?

And (Bush > Kerry^10). Haven't you seen those flash animations?

That's the most screwed logic I have ever heard. "omg, people fight... so... lets fight!"

I'm sorry, but what kind of a pussy would have lived in fear of Saddam? Yeah... one man, so lets go take over a country.

The Afgani war was defendable, but there was no reason to do any of this bullshit in Iraq.

I personally didn't want a man who tortured and killed his own people to have that much power. But that's just me.

Don't get so wound up Gyro. It's not like yours or my opinion means anything in reality.

True, but what does taking one asswipe out of power have to do with invading a whole country?

I agree, if nobody else did, I would have swam to Iraq and RE4-d that prick (headshot then melee).

one man cannot hold power if the people don't let him. freedom is not a thing someone can take...sure they can imprison your phsical being and stuff but true freedom can never be taken. it has to be given up. the only soverign you can let rule you is reason jsl. they (the people of iraq) fell to the simplest rule. fear. they feared him. they where afraid that he would harm them and for them it became true. if they decided 'hey look her MF i am not gona stand for your crap any more' then they could have ended it. but no, they lost their way.

lots of things balance on this, for example, (think about this) something will be true/real for you if you have fear that it is or that you want it to be.

You're so mature. I'm pretty sure everytime I've seen you insult someone or something here you've done it by calling them a faggot. I'm pretty sure he's married and is against gay marriage, therefore, by using my brain I've come to the conclusion he's not a faggot.

Instead of following the crowd and just saying you hate him, provide a legitimate reason why you don't like him.

I'm not defending him, I'm not even conservative, you're just a 12 year old moron.

Bush has lost the United States more money than every single other president combined.

He hasn't had one good idea.

Umm... seriously... no. If anyone said "hey look her MF i am not gona stand for your crap any more" they would be tortured and killed. What kind of dream world do you live in? Do you really think that if you said "I'm not afraid of you anymore" that you would magically be free and no one would harm you or your family? Welcome to reality.
