Thread: Do we really need a new Islamic Regime in Syria?

Am I the only one who understand the importance of Hegemonic Stability Theory in Foreign Relations?

I can't be the only one who reads foreign policy whitepapers on this forum but it sure seems that way.

It seems to me that the idea of a global hegemon is distasteful and I don't understand why. We are not yet at a post-hegemon stage of global development.

Probably just the only one who believes everything he reads that are from "official, reliable sources" rather than using healthy skepticism.

I'm starting to believe the West is ruled by white supremacy. Look at how arrogance some of you people are.

sounds pretty arrogant of you, I only gave my opinion

i think religious freedom works best, I think theocracies are inherently bad, even for people of the belief the government pushes on its people

Islam is a way of life.

Government is intrinsically involved in this lifestyle.

no more so then biblical law in a Christian theocracy, people can be Muslim in a country that allows Religious freedom, we have many Muslims in our country, my guess is they would not of moved here if they had a issue with religious freedom

Christianity doesn't command a religious government.

Ethnocentric westerners need to start minding their own affairs.

nor does the Muslim religion, like I said many Muslims live here and are happy with our religious freedom

I think some Muslims and Christians would prefer a theocracy, but it's not a requirement of their faiths

They come here for economic prosperity.

A question for the pro-interventionist Americans...

Would you be okay, if oh lets say you vote Romney, and Canada aided a coup in America to remove him?

Better yet, a joint group of Arabs allied with anti-Romney Americans for regime change. Would that be okay for you?

ahe ahe ahehehehehe. Sure, because that has worked out, anywhere. Switzerland isn't even there yet, we're certainly not, a non-religious government is out of the question, because it requires non-religious people.

I can't be the only one who reads foreign policy whitepapers on this forum but it sure seems that way.

It seems to me that the idea of a global hegemon is distasteful to libertarians and I don't understand why. We are not yet at a post-hegemon stage of global development.

Nope, you are the absolute only one on this forum who has an objective view on foreign policy, the only person who reads foreign policy whitepapers and sites like Global Security, and of course, my favorite, the only one smart enough to see that working-class Americans are just like, soooo dumb and uneducated and need to go back to school in order to participate in the "iEconomy". LMFAO!

By the way, dickless coward, you still have yet to provide evidence on the other thread that private prisons are cheaper than public ones. And Christ, you are making it seem here like I am siding with Ron Paulbots and other assorted kooks...you truly are good for NOTHING. Fck you.
