do you believe in peace through superior firepower?
82848
Yes...I believe that it is the ONLY thing that will deter  terrorists. Because violence seems to be the only thing they understand.

Certainly not.\n\nForce can be used and will be used for everthing, by the people who can use it.\n\nto keep the "global order" we are used to see, there's need of total control over our lifes, and all the violence needed to exterminate de threats against that order.\n\nyou may think by now we must have learnt something from our deads, from our wars, from the results of our own cruelty.\nwell, i can see clearly all people talking about peace has been always, in all countries, killed.\n\nso, the only "effective way" is to have more exterminating power. \nand control. check this up: \nhttp://www.lanacion.com.ar/exterior/nota.asp?nota_id=855347&origen=ranking

That was a M.F. miricle, and we are not leaving until you acknowledge that!  Ask Marvin.\n\nAlright, Marvin was that the hand of God, stopped those M.F. bullets?\n\nI don't even know.\n\nCome on, you gotta have an opinion, you just BANG!!!!

Lets see....You have that crazy little monkey in Iran talking about blowing Israel off the face of the earth, Palestinians hate Israel, most Arabs hate Israel...Hmmmm...Can't imagine why Israel would want an insurance policy of 700 nukes. Really, that is a quandary. \n\nIf your neighbor is threatening you with a .45, wouldn't you feel safer if you had a bigger gun? Say a .357? Wouldn't you do anything in your power to protect your house from threats? That is what Israel is doing. Pacifism is a real nice ideal, but in the real world, when dealing with crazy people (like the Iranian monkey guy) pacifism gets you a terminal case of dead. \n\nAnd while Israel is developing all these new weapons,guess what other country benefits from that? Which helps us defend your freedom to ask questions like this.

This is one of life's great ironies...\n\nWar (or the threat of it) is necessary for peace to exist.  Why?  Because, while there are numerous people on this planet ready and willing to live peacefully (that is, do their part to bring about peace), there are also many more who are unwilling to "live and let live."  They are the reason war is necessary.  It's all they understand.  Violence as a means to achieve their goals.  It's what they've been taught, how they were raised, the world they understand.  Imagine if the world stood idly by and watched while Hitler conquered all of Europe and murdered 6 million MORE Jews and political prisoners.  Would peaceful protest have stopped him?  I think not.   \n\nMany will say, "Two wrongs don't make a right."  I absolutely agree, but the question isn't, "Is war wrong/right?"  It's whether war or the threat of it is required to keep at bay those who seek to do harm to anyone who disagrees with their philosophy, religion, world view, politics, etc.  \n\nIn the case of President Bush and the actions he's taking, you can argue that his reasoning for invading Iraq is flawed.  You can argue that he acted/reacted hastily and unwisely.  You can say he has a hidden agenda masquerading as goodwill.  Here's what I think:  right or wrong, he has a renegade mentality of protecting this country in the face of global opposition.  He's bucking world opinion and doing what he believes is the best for this country in protecting it now and in the future from terrorists.  \n\nI can't say if his methods will stand the test of time and he'll be vindicated for the choices he's made as Commander in Chief.  But I do know that since 9/11, a number of terrorist plots have purportedly been thwarted.  I also know that we've not been attacked in the same manner as 9/11 since that horrific day.  Right or wrong, at least I know I can live in relative peace in the here and now.   And hopefully for the rest of my life.

God, Guns, and Guts made this Country great. Remember the West wasn't won with a registered gun. Also it is better to be tried by twelve than carried by six. Gun control is being able to hit your target. Peace thru superior firepower.

no, just as we fall for proaganda & our emotions dictate our actions, so do the rest of the world. multiply that by seeing your loved ones reduced to a moment of spray everytime a bomb or soldier does its 'job'. anyone resembling those they hate, no matter their intent, becomes enemy. in aghanistan in particular war a way of life. constant war for the last 50 years produces a nation of professional killers & potentially psychotic generatons.\nhttp://scotthortonshow.com/\nhttp://thestressblog.com\nhttp://www.kaos959.com\nhttp://www.antiwar.com\nmoney, http://www.philipdru.com/griffin_stream.html\neducation, \nhttp://www.philipdru.com/taylor_stream.html\nhttp://www.philipdru.com/gatto_stream.html\nww1 wilson,\nhttp://weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=88\nww2 http://www.philipdru.com/stinnett_stream.html\nnam http://www.weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=108\nbush & clinton http://www.philipdru.com/triplett_stream.html\nisrael \nhttp://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=8730\nhttp://www.philipdru.com/webb_stream.html\niran http://www.weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=131\ngovernment explained simply,\nhttp://weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=98

No, because everyone would actually want world peace. 9/11, the embassy bombings, the Cole, London, Spain.... these show clearly, that peace is not at the forefront of the enemies mind. \n\nSo, no.

Better than guns, isn't it?

Hi, I am rational Spirituality,\n\nI would love to say "yes", but that would be unrealistic.  The realistic answer is that humanity is not yet ready for that point.\n\nAnd people argue vigorously about religion, because their dogma is not supported with evidence, and I believe, that it is the insecurity in people that drives them to be aggressive about their particular form of belief.\n\nThe notion here is, that "the louder I shout and the more people agree with me, the more likely am I, or my belief, to be true".   Which is a mistake.\n\nThe Truth need not be shouted or argued about vigorously.  Those with intelligence and with Divine guidance within their hearts, recognise the Truth when they are guided to it.\n\nWhen all people find the Truth, then there will be nothing to argue about, and hopefully, there will be more peace.

pretty much\n\n:> peace\n.

Well, peace is always good since it prevents the unecessary death of others.  War would be good if you run a major corporation and can profit off it.

yes,just, show respect. i respect the people for going out there and protecting their country and their beliefs. i myself hate war and wish we could find more peaceful resolutions to all the problems we have managed to get into, but that wish is unrealistic and those people that go out there and fight have came to that conclusion too and are doing something about it.\n\nand if that is still too close to supporting war, then think of each individual person and dont think of them as a soldier. support them for being brave, independent and strong and not for fighting.
