So many points to make, so little time.
This thread in some ways has gone way beyond what was posted, but I still want to try to make a response.
The first point I want to make is I wish the 'other' folks could post short and succinct videos as were posted in this thread. Makes life much easier for those of us will real jobs, lol.
OK, the first video was very good, very informative and right to the point.. The second video in post #2 was much the same. I thought that the other video of the early Ben Netay was pretty cool as well.
OK, now on to my diatribe. And it is probably not at all answering much to the topic of this thread. This portion speaks to electing the woman in post #2 as president. It is too bad that the politics in the United States of America is so polarized that no one can decide to elect someone based upon their convictions. That may become our downfall, and I am afraid for that. I thought that although Ron Paul's foreign policy was too, what is the word, "separatist?" if push came to shove it was the best thing to consolidate our forces here at home.
Now the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and nukes have been brought up in this thread. Get your torches lit up folks.
After 9/11 we should not have invaded Afghanistan. We should have done what we did to finish off WWII. Turn a portion or two of Afghanistan into a glass parking lot. Remind the world that we were the ones that had the balls to do it once, and do it again. We would not have wasted any American troops lives and the Taliban and Al Queda would have said, "Oh crap, don't mess with those guys", and we might have taken out Bin Laden right then and there.
When it came to Iraq, why did we send such a puny force?
My honest point is this. If you want to mess with the United States of America, we should always treat such threats/wars as we did during WWII. Total immersion of troops, total destruction, total war, totally and with finality. Just like Sherman. Total War. If we were to treat every threat to our existence and interests like this, some of the world may *****, but we will win and thumb our noses and say to them, "Yeah, what you got to say to that Willis?"
And then they will leave us alone.
