Seems typical of the neocons. The rationalizations come into the action after the action takes place. Remember when democracy spread all over was supposed to mean no more wars?
|
It has. When was our last world war?
The smaller wars of today are still with non-democracies...not between democracies.

Now it seems to mean we become justified in attacking civilians in countries we don't like.

Please post your evidence that we are deliberately attacking civilians.

The reasons change to meet the occasion. Of course that is generally how religion and culture have adapted throughout history, but I don't think it has ever before been so quick and so cold and calculated.

I agree. We are making
wonderful progress.

That's why I call them Illuminati-wannabes. It's as though they read conspiracy theory books and said "Good idea!"

If spreading democracy and freedom = "Illuminati-wannabes", I can accept that label.

but competing fundamentalisms tend to have that affect, one on the other....the moderate middle is passed-over, while the extremes on either end are fueled for full scale lunacy...

According to every political test I have taken since I joined this site, I am defined as a moderate. Be afraid, heh heh.

As long as there are terrorists we can make any skirmish, assassination, or war a part of the "war on terror."

Pretty much, yeah,. But that doesnt mean all those skirmishs are NOT associated with terror in some way.
We havnt overthrown the Palestinian government, inspite of the fact that they used to be actual terrorists. If we are using the war on terror as a justification to remove governments we dont like...why havnt we removed
them?

At the current moment Iraq is part of the "war on terror", but prior to the war it had very little to do with it.

Saddam has supported terrorists in the past...that is undisputed fact.

Essentially we created another front.

No, we
removed one potential front.
