Hey, Saviour, and you're right, you've always been right. I am evil too, and a hypocrite. I also don't know anything. But I admit it. That is why I will always be a step ahead of you.

Incidentally...why is it so important for you to feel like you are a step ahead of me?

I agree, Clinton was different then other Democrats. Gore and Kerry are a bunch of sissy la las, I also agree with you there. Like you say though, both parties are only different in rhetoric, but when push comes to shove, they end up doing the exact same thing--or close.

You are contradicting yourself. On the one hand you say you agree with me that two Democratic candidates have a sharply different opinion on foreign policy from the Republicans, and then you say that both parties are the same. Which is it?

I don't think low gas prices are superior to defense, quite the opposite.

That seemed to be your implication when you were complaining about gas prices above. If higher gas prices are required in order to remove threats to us, then that is an acceptable exchange IMO. Most other Americans seem to agree.

The defense industry realizes that fuel efficiency is the way of the future, and if U.S. automakers and the public actually cared about gasoline efficiency, we could have had the technology years ago, not in simply hybrids, but in biomass and tons of other technologies.

I dont believe you have any way of knowing that. I dont accept you as an expert on the subject. IMO, there are probably variables you are overlooking or dont know about.

And most of those troops you speak of that are in Iraq right now have to come home sometime.

We would have more than enough troops to invade Iran. It is naive to believe that their military could resist us IMO.
And there is absolutely nothing they could do to prevent us from bombing them. We could destroy their hardware and infrastructure and pull out and they would be too weak to do anything. The reason Iraq is taking so many of our resources is because we are trying to install a democracy...in essence, we are re-enforcing police force/military until their government gets established. If all we wanted to do was temporarily remove Saddam as a threat, we could have done that and left a long time ago.

And gas would go through the roof if Iran invaded, it would be worse then the 70s I bet.

The alternatives are worse. And we would weather the gas prices...just as we have before.
