I didn't vote for that, either.Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17416496332922933822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-64611581335863034472011-03-31T00:57:37.466-07:002011-03-31T00:57:37.466-07:00The 2004 election was a statement of Who We Are an...The 2004 election was a statement of Who We Are and I for one am not proud of it. The whole region is about to topple. We need leadership that sees the signs and will make sure the whole world knows the present situation.Not the Obama I voted for either.Denucho Attarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16084953837959270195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-26230914980736243742011-03-30T18:50:37.165-07:002011-03-30T18:50:37.165-07:00So... what? Your shocked that politics is politic?...So... what? Your shocked that politics is politic? Really? Show me the government built on moral ideals, and I'll show you a failed government. Indeed, a fascistic, tyrannical government. Politics is the art of achieving what can be done in a limited time with the existing forces (ideological, economical, etc) on the ground. We attack convenient enemies while ignoring inconvenient ones? Of course we do. We can only attack Goliath with a stone if the Giant is stupid enough to commit himself to a stone throwing contest. Otherwise, we content ourselves with Goliath's little brother, or his older brother, or whomever has exposed weakness in our interest. The question is: what is our interest? We achieve limited aims with limited means. That our president lies about it in public is just standard rhetoric. We, as citizens, are obligated to look beyond the obvious "selling point" to the real value of the proposition. Should we attack Libya? I don't know. I don't understand the situation. Can someone enlighten me? What are we after? Does it make any kind of sense?AaronHerschelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886387346974535323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-34514231936389195092011-03-30T11:59:05.835-07:002011-03-30T11:59:05.835-07:00John Stewart had a nice piece on this last week: h...John Stewart had a nice piece on this last week: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-march-21-2011/america-s-freedom-packages?xrs=share_copy.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07626015005799098717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-35136675219825238382011-03-29T18:28:46.149-07:002011-03-29T18:28:46.149-07:00I guess we are presently helping the people of the...I guess we are presently helping the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and Burma by sending bombs to stop their governments from killing everyone? No? We didn't? Why?<br />And since when is blowing people up the solution for stopping someone from killing you? Did I miss something? Is that our new brand of humanitarian aid? <br />Say no to food, yes to explosions? <br />What ever happened to targeted assassinations?<br />But seriously... This country has become really gun happy...this kind of behavior should help the recruitment offices of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Moslem Brotherhood sure up their memberships.andrea perezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187928609335174447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18968172.post-64349128834302192462011-03-29T17:52:16.450-07:002011-03-29T17:52:16.450-07:00"Vital Interests" = Petro-Oil.
