Neil, you've been banging your head against the same wall so long that soon its shape will be like that of SpongeBob.

Also, although I know that you disagree with him, I believe that you are mis-representing Bluefront's position. He himself early in the thread said that the statement is not true universally, and then offered up the alternative of saying war is not the answer in Iraq.
No he's not.

Despite everyone else's clear stand we then encounter this:
Bluefront wrote:The "I won't fight back no matter what" outlook has been tried by many different people over the years.
Why? No one here ever remotely made or suggested such a stand. And this transparent technique was done in the CP thread as well, putting words in other people's mouths, which may be civil to some. So what purpose does this statement have?
JoeWPgh wrote:Then go to his argument, which is transparently silly in it's attempt to incite.
And why doesn't VanWaGuy address this?

Thanks for the civil reply.
Here's some acceptable civility:

Keep in mind this statement was made after Hillary said she would quit running and back Obama on Monday.

Both countries had a history of killing their own people.
Didn't seem to bother Bush Sr all that much, what does that say about him? And what about genocide in Sudan today (I wanted to use the word lately) ? How is that ignorable?
Will VanWaGuy ever answer this question?

If you really want to address pointless it's the argument that the OP's bumper sticker is not always the right. Well gee, no kidding. And yet that "pointless" point-of-view is repeated over, and over, and over again.
But hey, that's OK, right
I guess not, regardless of principles, ethics, even common decency:

It is your lack of respect for others on here that I am reacting to.
Still waiting to hear where these others are. Perhaps hiding with the gloaters?

Ah but we also armed Iran.
Well if any one of us did that it would be treason, but it was OK for Bush Sr to do it. You can't imply we used to be friends with Iran, given the American hostages held back in the days of Carter. So was that any less a war crime? That's the interesting thing about the standards some people have, there's just so many to choose from.
Now compare the stains to America in this post to the stains on a carpet. Which stains are truly pathetic?
