Israeli Vice Premier: 'Iran can also be wiped off the map'

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Sometimes it is better to treat the cause rather than mask the symptoms......

referring to the "figure out why they hate us" quote

Especially when there is significant historical proof that wars based in conflicting ideologies, specifically religious ideologies are almost never won militarily. The only ones that have, I might add have only been won through genocide and wholesale extermination.

Sure, but it stands to reason that if you pursue those kind of imperialist foreign policies you have to expect the problems that result, terrorism being on of those.

That's why dressing up the 'war on terror' as some moral crusade against evil is bullshit, IMO.

I have no illusions about it being a moral crusade against evil, but it's something we have to do

if we are to continue to drive our lovely gas-guzzling SUVs, spend hundreds of dollars on

designer clothes and use up more than our share of the planet’s non-renewable resources
