Entry: Wake Me At Armageddon Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/wake_me_at_armageddon#5629 Post contents: It's a stand-off, eh? If it is, then it's an "anti-Mexican Stand-Off", that is, when all parties have the guns pointed at themselves, and nobody really wants to commit suicide...as for the argument against war, as defined by the Constitution, since when does the Constitution mean anything in America? Did President Washington have any Constitutional Authortity regarding the so-called "Whiskey Rebellion"? No, but it didn't stop "them". Every sensible person realizes what kind of disaster Iraq really is, especially those people that are what we call "sensible" had have been there. My father was in the US Army for 20+ years, and MANY (10+) of my friends from high school enlisted into the various armed services, and most of them have been to Iraq and Afghanistan more than once (I've "only" had 2 friends killed in those two hell-holes) and they have all expressed a desire never to go back. War is HELL, and this war is no different. The only difference is that no one, that is reasonable, can find any reason for it. As for that shitty little country, and it's influence and benefit of this (these?) war(s), it doesn't matter. We don't have to worry about how Israel benefits, or suffers, what should concern Americans more is how their own conscious is affected. That's the beauty of democracy - if 50.000000001% are psychotic maniacs, and are unaffected by murder, then that makes it OK, right? Of course NOT. That is the very EVIL of democracy. In the long run, as democracy exists, there will be evil in the world, not that monarchism any better. Evil exists in the world due to the Fall, and that's the way life is, but don't make your self part of it by voting. At least with monarchs the blame is on THEM not you the voter. I'd rather Elizabeth I or II go to Hell than some poor slob that voted for Tony Blair, even though I pray for both their souls. Sent at: 2008 05 16
