SLO - be honest - you read the first two sentences of it.  (either that or reading comprehension could use a little work)

Skimmed through pretty quick... Seems to be a common theme everyone is starting to ride on...

"911 has changed everything."

This is a true statement for the U.S. but not necessarily so for many other countries. The realization that we are vulnerable came as quite a shock to many people. The next shock coming will be the realization that we will ALWAYS be vulnerable.

hortlund I did read.....I'm not bashing it....just putting it into perspective....

saurdaukar...don't worry...my reading comprehension is fine:D ....


I don't agree to all of his "perceptions"..... It was interesting on certain POV's...but in some he was completely off base......chit I don't feel like quotin.....

It was a good read.....in the general sense....he doesn't seem to like creativity.....we could have fun disecting it in little pieces and arguin over them....but nah!!!:p

My university professor would say this type of answer is total tripe. If you have a problem with the logic and arguments of the author then give us some details.

Saying " I read it and saying it really isn't credible because he is completely off base in places" just won't do.

Enjoy your porno. :p

davidpt40: Too long, can someone sumarize it in 4 sentences for me?

 Here it is:

 1. We've just noticed that the world is unpredictable. 2. That is very scary. 3. People who are upset with us do not want to play by our rules. 4. Let's stomp on everyone with brute force before they have a chance to hurt us.

I don't give a rats bellybutton what your prof. would say....since you seem to totally lack in your own perceptions, and you lack creative thinking, ya ain't worth it.......

maybe I shoulda said "well damn that was a mighty fine essay"....just to be like eveyone in this thread......but unlike you, I'm an individual, and as an individual I like to think for myself:p

when YOU have better idea's Habu...post em....try bein creative....ya don't have to RESEARCH everything....just post what ya think.....

and the movie was 8 Miles.....

nice try at a witty response.....

but you lack creative thinking :eek:

better luck next time Moron:p

So SLO by that logic anyone who disagrees with you - you dont like the article while they do -  is not an individual with his or her own thoughts or thinks for themselves?

Thats incredibly ignorant and arrogant.

Seems to me you are the one with no thoughts, all you said is you dislike it and that anyone who likes is a moron. You state no reasons why, no objection, no couterarguments, nothing. You present no thoughts on this article besides that you dislike it, yet you have the audacity to tell others they have no individual thoughts.

Is the article so well thought out and persuavise, that even though you are instinctivly thretened by it and fear it, that you lack either the basic mental capacity to respond on a personall level  or lack sufficient education and knowlege to generate worthy counterarguments or objections. Which is it?

Thats a red herring 10bears, the article does not introduce the issue at all. I  should think you are sophisticated enough to distinguish his assertion about America's unique role in this world crisis and and our unique responsibilities for the near term in contrast to any suggestion of one world government.  

And in fact one can see how the article might clearly argue against the validity of of a single world government - lets say in the form of the UN - as it advovates the neccesity, under the proper circumstances, of unilateral american action.

Will Russia? Will France? Will the rest of the world?

Certain countries are not allowed, at all, in any way, shape or form allowed to have WMDs.

Iraq is one of them. So stop that BS "The US has WMDs too!"... we are allowed to have them.
