    I would suggest that is precisely why the point was raised and is valid.
    By exploring and ratinalising the DIFFERENCES gives greater insight than just seeing the justifications in each case and attempting to tag them as "different".

    It's on a par with seeing the strengths of Ferrari and Corvette rather than just "fanboy" supporting each car.
    I don't get the comparison, so cheerio!

    No you didnt say anything about Iraq, but something was said about Muslim terrorists, and that usually pertains to Iraq. Yes the US SHOULD have been in Sudan, Congo, Rwanda, or Sierra Leone because like the Nazis in Europe there were certain military or rebel groups that were SYSTEMATICALLY whiping out an entire population of people of a certain race. The US entered WWII to help stop genocide and they should have in Africa but the problem is that wars arent about saving people anymore, they are about profit and politics...

    and self-interest - they generally always have been.

    If WW2 had been about stopping genocide then the US woudln't have waited till Pearl Harbour to take action. Europe's excuse for Asia was that they had bigger problems on their doorstep. Even so, many died in Japans expansionist plans LONG BEFORE PH and even Singapore !!

    Sounds a little like the victor rewriting history to report what everyone would LIKE it to have been about. Has happened since the victor first started sharing stories of "great victories".

    Well the US had been aiding England in its fight against the Luftwaffe. After the US got involved it was about stopping the Nazi genocide, if Pearl Harbor had never happened and they had never found out about the concentration camps then i dont think the US would have gotten involved...

    Yeah, so all you people who have ever watched FOX listen up. You're stupid, you're misled, you believe everything you hear, you have no ability to research on your own, you'll never make it through life understanding a thing, your mind is rotten. Give up now and die, no use in living... once you watch FOX it's over.



    Now onto more rational thoughts.

    You hit the nail on the head, if you listen to FOX your an idiot, because FOX is probably the most nationalistic news channel in this country. Everyone ive met that watches FOX are stupid, they only repeat what they hear come out of O'Reillys ass, and that also makes them mindless...

    Yeah, that's not a stereotype. I'm a Democrat but c'mon, that's just a huge generalization.

    I would not shed a tear for the painful death of a known terrorist. The convicted perpetrators of the Bali bombings canbe killed as slowly as they like, likewise Alquedas psychos. But as we have seen "detainees" have been shown to at very least , not able to be comitted on any offence other than, well Im not even sure of that.
    Its not enough for apologists to bleat that there are "bad apples" in every bunch. The US by virtue of its president, has put itself forward as the moral leader of the world. It has used thisposition as much as anything else to break international laws and agreements as well as implementing draconian measures in its own country. "We must fight terror and those who condone it." Yep, and we must question those whos glass houses are full of broken windows.
