Oh, you mean the liberty to abstain from killing?   The liberty to stay out of the military?   If some people just can't grow up and want to play real G.I. Joe, that's their decision, but I'm not one of those people.

You know ocean, I respect your opinion, and will not flame you in any way, shape or form.  But I gotta tell ya....

All I can do right now is laugh......I'm trying to figure out where you've been for the past year.  If you believe there's no threat of terrorism, then I wanna live where you do :)

well, I am not going to post on this particular thread anymore because there is no point really, it will only go back and forth after this. But to whoever said the country would be better if we had no military? Ever heard of free trade? Gone without the military. It is the principle reason behind our economic success. Besides, who would protect you while your out rain dancing? To the person who asked if I had ever heard of Hitler or Stalin....
No offense but have you ever heard of JFK or Ronald Regan?

Terrorism? There is no real threat of terrorism, and even if there was, it still would not be a good reason to go to war. Unless America is actually attacked with WMD's, we shouldn't go to war.
If there's no threat of terrorism what was 9-11? What would be a better reason to go to war, if not to prevent further 9-11 style attacks? What is an airplane full of aviation fuel being flown into the side of building is if it's not a weapon of mass destruction?
