The freedom to sit at home encouraging others to go off to war to get killed, maybe?
Or the freedom to sit at home and spit and undermine those fighting for your freedom and get them killed?

The freedom to sit at home encouraging others to go off to war to get killed, maybe?
1. I'm not spitting, just chortling.
2. Whose freedom? Relax the islamo-facist paranoia there, I was safer before anyone went to Iraq to [-]find the WMD's[/-] [-]bring liberty[/-] fight for my freedom.
So why'd the "freedom lovers" aka CIA have saddam installed in the first place?Really and what if Iraq was a stable democratic country? Would you and the people of neighboring states not be far safer than when they had the despot tyrant around.
Why'd they block Iraq's attempt to peacefully resolve the slant drilling at the UN?Was the freedom of Americans not safer before they went to war against the North Koreans or in the first Gulf war?
Rubbish.So even if you lose some of your safety in the short term in the long term you will gain far more safety.
How many Europeans died in the last 100 years before the continent become democratic( Belarus and a few other minnows aside)
You think this thing is going to take another 95 years?
Difference being, of course that Europe did it by itself, without foreign occupations, made-up stories of WMD, bringing democracy etc.
No matter how much you repeat it alan, it doesn't make this WWII all over again.![]()
Maybe you need to check you history books as if you ever have
Just like no matter how much you repeat it pacifism won't work. Ignoring history doesn't exempt you from repeating the same mistakes againOh by the way it's more than WW2 and not confined to Europe

You were the one who confined it to Europe, and who brings up wwii incessantly.
Nevertheless, I am not necessarily advocating pacifism, just not invading other people's countries. (Yes, alan, there is a difference.) Show me where an invasion bought peace/stability/democracy to any country?
WW2 was a response to an invasion by the allies, not the initiation of an invasion by the allies. Furthermore, after the war was concluded, the allied forces pumped massive funds into the axis economies where possible in order to strengthen their societies. This is vastly different to the current tactics of launching invasions and profiteering from the raw materials that the invaded country has at the detriment of the local populace.Bwahahahaha you can't be seriousThen you say I go on and on about WW2. Obviously I need to go over it again
