Can't we all just get along?
Nope. And unfortunately because of that truth, war becomes the only alternative sometimes. There
is a level of immaturity on both sides of this argument.
The left's childlike view of the world where strength equals evil and winning is bad because it
means someone had to lose and that could lead to hurt feelings is pathetic and requires a patient
and measured response from the right. However, there are those of us on the right that respond with
equal immaturity by making statements about turning the Middle East into a sheet of glass, or we
take a "kill em' all- let God sort em' out" attitude toward our enemies.
Peace, at times, can only be attained through war. It is a fact of life, however unpleasant. There
is without a doubt room for diplomacy at all times.
I think what the left tends to overlook in the War on Terror is that there is no one to negotiate
peace with. We are not at war with a particular country. We are at war with a violent group of
people who hide amongst civilians in several countries across the world. Osama bin Laden only
speaks for Al Queda, not for Hamas. Hamas certainly does not speak for Hezbolah (sp?).
The negotiating that can take place IS taking place. We are negotiating with Iran, Iraq, Isreal,
and the rest of the COUNTRIES in the middle east. The issue is not necessarily the governments of
these countries. The issue is the lack of separation of church and state within these countries.
While common sense dictates that it would be best to be friendly with America and her allies, their
church dictates the destruction of the west.
War does not breed war. The breakdown of diplomacy breeds war. |

That is the only way, you can't negotiate with Communists, terrorists which is the majority of our
enemies. You just simply cant.
After all, we did Negotiate with Hitler back in WWII didn't we! |

It is very rare people cannot negotiate their way out of these circumstances. And would I hug my
enemy back if they hugged me? Yes, I would, there would be no point holding a grudge. It is immature
and irresponsible. And I believe China is becoming much more successful than the US now, since it is
partly the US's fault that the economy is now downtrodden in the west.
Look at Switzerland, they have an army, but do not go to war, they have no enemies and no one tries
to conquer them or bully them in any way, they are not affected by the finance crisis and they are
one of the safest countries in the world. That is much more successful than what the US or the UK or
mainland Europe have achieved. |

Peace Is Obtainable By Anyone Who Doesn't Think They Must Kill Everyone Who disagrees With Them.
The only Reason America Goes to War With Every One Is Because They're.

Fear and loathing wrapped in double crossing paranoia is obtainable through delusional fire power. |

Tyranny is the only thing attainable through superior fire power. Look at history, from the Ottoman
empire to the British empire, the most technologically advanced societies eventually fall, not
because they are not superior militarily but because the people get fed up with paying (thru taxes)
for their empirical aspirations.
Talking to enemies makes more sense than just bombing them in every situation. What does it hurt to
talk to someone, nothing. Not talking however causes countless civilian casualties and creates
greater rifts than sitting down a talking to someone. |

How about have no enemies by having no fighting by having no firepower whatsoever and being an
entirely war and army-free country? |

It's not just negotiating - us liberals think that blood thirst is rather uncivilized, and quite
obviously see the utter idiocy of thinking peace can only be obtained by war. |
