Must be nice to be totally evil, yet totally blameless (in their own mind) about everything that happens.

I’m gonna go throw up now.

What some of you gents fail to understand is that war, a permanent state of war, is necessary for the stability of society. Only when a country is at war is there sufficient emotion to sustain the state. Indeed, it is only when the emotions lag that governments end one war and plan for the next one.

Only war can sustain patriotism and the desire for self-sacrifice.

Without the United States and Israel, what would the leadership in Iran do to maintain their status? Maybe, attack Iraq? Stir up some religious fervor?

Why do you think the United States put Israel where it is? Because we cared about a Jewish Homeland? Ha! Israel was established to be a focal point for Middle Eastern hatred and conflict. Only a clash of civilisations provides the rationale for the existence of a ruling class, whether in Iran, the United States, or Timbuktu.

War Is Peace <--------> Peace Is War

Think about the meaning of that. Peace, an actual peace, would be TERRIBLE for the ruling classes. It would be the equivalent of…war.

Here we go again;

I thought these people only targeted American military.

Mainly. Not only.

Either way, bombs weren’t set off in Baghdad market before the American military got there. Cause and effect.

No, they were dropped on Kurds…

It takes a savage dictator to keep the peace in Iraq. Saddam knew how to rule sectarian thugs and Islamic supremacists. Like it or not, that’s the way it is.

Does not matter. They should not be set off in markets if the Americans are there or not. If they are attacking troops, then attack troops.

Unless, of course, you can justify attacks on civilian targets.

Then, you are nothing short of a mouth piece for the insurgents.
