It is pretty weird that most Americans cannot remember a time when we weren't bombing and at War with someone. This perpetual state of War really is beginning to look so much like George Orwell's 1984. I guess there will always be an enemy to bomb. If they don't exist i'm sure our Government will invent them. That's what it looks like to me anyway. Are we really all that far away from becoming Oceania?
Take Vietnam for instance.
How many were killed on both sides in our effort to stop the spread of communism?
We failed, but in recent years Bush was seen there hobnobbing with the communist leaders to promote trade and good relations.
Now why could this have not happened before?
How many trade opportunities have we missed with Cuba?
We must overcome our fears of difference and embrace our similarities.
We must also overcome the fears and distrust induced by those who profit from war.
There's big money to be made off war and America is all about big money.
yes why I posted early in this thread about how stopping bombing would cost jobs.
But in my opinion jobs based on killing for reasons other than in actual self defense are just plain wrong and do not need to exist.
How many military actions since WW2 have been in actual self defense of America?

really? Whom did we bomb from 1977 to 1983? I had friends who were in the military then and their biggest problem was boredom. With the exception of the brief Gulf War and a couple of minor actions whom did we bomb before the Afghanistan War?
Do you think the gov't invented 9/11? Did they invent the USS Cole? Khobar Towers?
Perpetual state of war? When was the last war declared? I believe it was WW2.

Not a one. They've all been nothing more than mis-guided military adventures.
About the only thing we should be thankful for in this regard is that there is no more draft and that the people fighting and dieing and getting fucked up in these escapades are doing it under their own free will.
You're insane.
First of all, you need to learn what The Domino Effect was:
Domino theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
psssst. it was what you were talking about
Second, not all of America's wars have been about communism. Sorry to burst that bubble.
Tell you what, how about you go read the short blurbs about all the wars we've been in...and come back when you can talk intelligently about them. Don't worry. I'll wait.
You're an idiot.
I know very well what the domino effect was. I wonder whether you do.
And the only one saying all of America's wars were about communism was you.
So you are arguing with yourself.
Which one of us is insane again?

There has been no respite in this never-ending War. You call some bombings "minor actions" but they were still bombings. There has been no let-up in these bombings. Just look at the time-frames you mentioned? Go back and look closer and i'm sure you will see that we were bombing someone in those time-frames. You are right though about no War being declared. If they did follow our Constitution,this never-ending War would have already ended a long time ago. Not declaring War is probably the biggest problem.

"There has been no let up in these bombings."
Really? Again, whom did we bomb from 1976 on?

We were still at War with much of the World in 1976. Check out the Korean area at that time. We were still engaged in bloody battles with the North. There were other areas with incidents as well. You should also consider the amount of military support we were giving to various nations in various conflicts from then till now. War has never ended for us. It has just gone on and on and on...

Yes but an all volunteer military creates a self eating watermelon kind of thing.
I hope you got my point, I am very poor at expressing such things. As I am sure you have noticed
