| frankly it is a bit surprise. But when you look at the choices what chance would McCain really have if he picked a huge pro bush pro war vp. That would damage his chances far more then having a mostly unknown on the plate. Personally knowing nothing about her it's a fairly safe and smart move. ... |

| Zipperfish don't forget that for better or worse it's always justified by "saving lives" in the future from slavery or tyranny. Vietnam and Iraq are both now being justified by saying that "we are improving the lives of future generations". Well I'd just like to point out that ... |

| very valid points JJ. Frankly I agree. if all a party can do is stand on a single election issue and cling to it for dear life it's no big surprise they can't get elected but still get media coverage. Frankly if the green party really wants to help they will disband and join the other major par... |

| I think Prestwick about covered it. It's really like the war doesn't exsist up here. It's a war sure and personally I have mixed feelings on it (it feels to much to me like were cleaning up a Bush mess rather then peacekeeping) but all in all it almost feels like there is no war at all. It's li... |

| oddly enough I ended up watching the olympics tonight at a friends place since they were already on the air. Not two minutes passed before the reporters covering the sprints and hurdles were talking about how many people they had seen arrested in the sidelines and around the village. China is in... |

| "Fine, invest in energy research. But not at the expense of oil prices. Oil is a near-necessity anyway, and they affect the costs of any shipped necessity (FOOD!). It brings up the cost of living, which hurts everyone's pocketbooks, which is especially bad for the poor. Intentionally hurting th... |

| BBC is the only place you've seen this? I don't have a working TV, and yet I've seen it on TV twice in a week. The top two Google News results for "war" are about Georgia, one from the Houston Chronicle and one from the New York Times. It's on the radio every news break, which is every... |

| frankly I hadn't even heard of this until now. That's the part that worries me. I mean I read the news on a daily basis whenever I can and bbc is the only place I've even seen a hint of this. It really seems as if America's media doesn't want to even think about dealing with Russia when there's s... |

Frankly well freaking said Psudo. Personally I would be ansy with any president who pretty much openly admits "I feel some divine power is pushing me to do this" as his reasoning but you certainly can't kick a man for something he didn't say.
Truth is always a good thing. |

| frankly McCain just proved one thing to me. He really doesn't have a bloody thing on Obama that he can really use so he's starting to go in circles by stating the bloody obvious. If all you can state is the obvious....well how is this guy really so different from Bush? Frankly is Obama really... |

the context I've seen the quote most often in is mostly an anti-patrotism/war stance.
I take it in the context of "Patritotism is highly illusionary with no basis in reality thus a patriotic soldier is really a fool unaware of the reality of war."
At least from my point of view. |

that's becuase you arn't in the military. You can't just think that it's going to be like the movies and a few quick shots are going to do anything.
And Iraq was hardly an "adventure". It's a war.
You make this all sound like an action movie. It's not. |

""Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their
country."
- Bertrand Russell"
It's brief but I think it answers the question in a way. |

| It's just too bad that Chavez and Mugabe couldn't haved turned out better. It's now the people that have to suffer becuase of their mistakes rather then them. That's the saddest part of the whole affair. |

| Roman do you understand what would happen if they just let all the dictators in South America run free? There are reasons they go after them. Namely drugs, poverty and corruption. It's in North America's best interests to not allow the region to gain a larger foothold in crime and corruption. ... |
