'Get down to brass-tacks and the 9-11 attacks are more closely related to our continued support of Israel than anything else. The current relationship with the middle-east, including the Iraq invasion, was as a consequence of 9-11, not a cause."
It was in response to putting troops in the holy land. It was also your beloved hawks who are so intellectually superior they thought it was a great idea to arm and train OBL and other Muslim radicals
"Or are you going to try to tie the 9-11 attacks to the first Persian Gulf conflict? Do you really believe we should've sat idly by during the first gulf war when Hussein invaded a sovereign nation and ally? "
Invaded a sovereign nation and used weapons we gave him. Another great idea from your wing of the party.
"As for Vietnam, care to take a look at ideologies leading the nation during the period of initial involvement and further escalation? Pay no attention to Democrats holding the Senate for 20 years and the House for damn near 40 starting in the mid 1950s. Oh yeah, and the fact that Kennedy and Johnson are the guys that put us in the middle of it.
Or are the Democrats a bunch of hawks as well?"
Yes there's a large portion of Democrats that are hawks. Republicans used to get elected to end wars.
"He's just a man. Our entire system of governance is built around the central premise that the President isn't an emperor, isn't a King and isn't given any kind of divine right - he's just a man.
I know you fellas love treating them like they're deities (provided there's a D after their names) but that's simply not the case. They're the chief Administrator of our nation's laws and the man that has final say over our armed forces (and ultimately very little know-how in how to implement any of said decisions).
Getting your dander up and risking a global war over the death of a single man, someone that won't be in charge of anything within the next 8 years, is asinine."
I think you have me confused. I'm not a democrat. Life long Republican. Paleo-conservative to be exact.
The murder of a president is an act of war. We had already got involved with Cuba once and fought many proxy wars against the soviets.
