Hey, after you

After you quit backing every dictator willing to do what ever the hell you want

After you quit signing trade deals and then reneging on anything that doesn't suit you

After you stop trying to force every other country in the world to do things your way

Until then... do I have to start shooting Americans to make the point clear ?

lol!

Notice that the fascists are all over us for "complaining and whining" as if we lost a hockey game?

We are talking about the future of the world and America. It doesn't end.

Yet here they are with a marathon troll fest to get ride of me, SigyM, Gino, and the rest because they don't like our posts. And hey, threatening violence too.

Sorta like the brownshirts.

Bullies who go around goose stepping on opinions they don't like will get thiers when the time comes.

I'd love to say to PIRATEJENNY I'm sorry it's come to this and that it's sad her thread has been highjacked by these rotten people.

Hey Ghoulman, your absolutely correct.

Did you happen to notice that your buddy Gino is the one doing the threatening????

That brown shirt seems to fit him pretty well, would'nt you say?


My response to him is the same any good non pussy american would say to a sh*thead terrorist who, due to his own sense of impotence has to resort to threats of killing americans. Mental illness can be cured Ghoulman/Gino. You should seek professional attention.

Why does he want to kill Americans??????
Oh yeah, because we just elected a republican president in a country he does'nt even belong to.


Where's the blame? Who's the brown shirt?

Try reading the entire thread dipshit

We were discussing " How safe is Canada " from you looney American dipshits...

Ghoulman said something along the lines that we would all go along without a fight because we are nice Canadians

Well, we are not all nice Canadians. Many of us would fight instead of becoming part of your bullshit country.

I also said elect who you like, way I see it Kerry wasn't much better. Just keep it inside your borders... the majority of the planet wants that... maybe there should be a vote?

As for terrorism, what is that anyone against you ? Maybe you all need more time on the recieving end

Hold on here, either it was a legitimate act of warfare, or it was not. Or are you saying that it was okay because you did it to them and you get to make the rules ? The line between modern warfare and mass murder is a thin one, but in the end it is either yes or no

" so, by extension of your logic and argument. You are saying that the actions and atrocities of and committed by the Nazis were quite and well justified and that they should have ballads and awards instead of being tried for their crimes? "

No, actually I am saying that many war crimes were committed by the allied powers as well, these were never punished, or accounted for. Justice is equal, or it is not justice at all.

" Look now, I think it was your argument that we should view the "enemy" all as an aggregate as the "evil dirty bastards that they are" without regarding individual views; and that even realizing this that we should disregard the "reasoning" for these prejudices completely and continue on being blinded by it. "

A soldier, particularly one fighting an enemy with your resources cannot take the time to try to only damage those who hold an opposing viewpoint. How many of the Iraqi civilians killed by your use of airpower may have been Baathists, or rebels... and how many not... they are dead and its doesn't really matter anymore does it ?

" So where do we go from there? "

A fair question, If I had that answer I'd gladly give it. Perhaps taking a real long look at the effects of your foreign policy the past forty years might help you see where you went wrong


" Looking for a place to happen, making stops along the way "




I think you just got completely turned around on your own argument. Did you have a particular viewpoint you are arguing from or are you just arguing b/c you are pissed about something and you want to smash someone's head with an empty Rolling Rock bottle?

Let go man, you are the kind of people that makes it possible to hate someone or another country for 40, 60, 80 years straight. America is a country of immigrants. Half the citizens in the country right now weren't even here when the Korean war was going on. I am not saying that you should excuse the past behaviour or the people who did the wrong. But give it break and open your insides to the possibility that the people here today don't have anything to do with any of those things.

For God's Sake, we ARE mostly Mexicans anyways.

Look, it's not that most Americans could give a shit what Canada or Mexico thinks (ok, in your case, I'll make an exception). But if you haven't notice, there's pretty much enough crap here that we've got to worry about. What with all the crack whores, tree huggers, PACs, indian casinos, big business conspiracies, migrant workers, water shortages, energy shortages, and all of that border drug problems. Now there are foreign trading problems and at least 2 major conflicts going on.

If our leaders are telling your country what to do, then you've got a big problem in your own country. Either your leaders are too weak to make up their own damn minds or your country isn't in the best position to be making your own decisions. Either way, the people that *you* voted in have an obligation to do their own job, make their own decisions, and in general take care of business the way that is the best for your own country. If they aren't doing that, you need to be taking care of business over there. We can't help you elect better people - as evidently and skillfully illustrated this past week. Only you can.

So sorry can not help you.

Dear Loser,
This thread is about Canadians wondering if their country is safe given the increasing fascist bent of the US government.

When the issue of how political dissenters are seeking asylum and how others are considering securing their children from a possible draft for an unpopular war was raised Hero jumped in obfuscating the truth about why a draft law was proposed and then proclaiming Ohio could take Canada, but it wouldn't be worth the effort.

Xion47 jumped in and pointed out how free enterprise medicine Americans are going to evil socialized medicine Canada to secure influenza shots not available in the US and posted a handy link on how to cut through red tape for Americans looking to stay in Canada.

Connorflynn had to jump in and laugh at the Canadian military and Sigmanuki took issue with that pointing out the fallacy of a US invasion of Canada. Hero goosestepped in and suggested taking away socialized health care to suppress rebellion in the newly conquered Canadian provinces. Then there was a pissing contest between Connorflynn and Ginobiffaroni with you chiming in and discussing root causes of conflict, blame and reward/punishment.

Ginobiffaroni invited all Americans to stop dicking around with other countries and mind our own business and Barnstormer took offense and began putting on display behavior to impress lord knows who.

Then when Ghoulman drew the inevitable line of comparison between the written words and threats of the American members of this thread to the Nazi brownshirts Barnstormer tried to turn it around and point it at the Canadians.

At which time, thoroughly sick of it all, I said you three did not reflect the opinion of every American. Was this wrong? No. As a matter of fact since you three seem to be representing the flyover states of the inbred, misogynizing heartland I think you have validated the question asked in the beginning of this thread.

How safe is Canada? Not very, if only judging by the knuckle-dragging, chest-thumping behavior of you neanderthals.

You've proven the point admirably. You have to shout down every dissenting opinion, no matter how well based or supportable. So, using you three as a model, given that the US is on the road to fascism and dissenters are leaving for other, freedom-loving countries, it logically follows that the US, in an attempt to quash the dissent, just as you have tried to quash dissent by posting, long, rambling exposition, will try to do the same. Since those dissenters are in other sovereign states it follows that the US will go get them. And when you three haven't been able to bury the conversation in your screeching you have resorted to threats. I am confident the US will act accordingly. An invasion seems inevitable.

Post here if you think Hero, Barnstormer and Jasonzzz have at any time admired Hitler or praised Nazi Germany's accomplishments.

Now, I have tried to bring up how this your exact behavior is the seed from which real evil can grow. However, myopically you cannot see how your very intolerance of other people's opinions, let's call it freedom of speech, is the first stepping stone down the path of dictatorship.

You don't want a debate, you want to slide insults in and silence any opinion that doesn't agree with your southern fried poison that is posing as a brain.

For christs sake..get over it. Stop and grab a dose of reality. My head hurts already with the banal "My D**k is bigger then your D**k!" commentary. It's ridiculous.

It's just not realistic. Canada's PM has come out and said recently that we are good friends..with the lone dissenter (or most public) being Parrish.

Hey, who would have thought the US would attack Iraq back in the eightys

Remember the Reagan days when you were shovelling in the economic and military aid assisting them in their war of aggression against Iran ?

Back when your gov was trying to cover up that you were subsidizing the sale of helocopters equipped with spraying equipment, along with chemical weapons and support equipment even while ole Saddam was using them on disenting elements of his own population.

Hard to picture back then isn't it ?

" Canada's PM has come out and said recently that we are good friends "

What else is he going to say ? We simply do too much trade with you to say what is really on our minds anymore. I would say %90 of the people I know decided not to vote for the conservative party up here last election ONLY because they are a bunch of American asskissers.

Hell, there is an active political movement to expell your ambassador ( a real piece of work )

http://www.petitiononline.com/cb23124/petition.html

We are your number two supplier of oil, number one of natural gas, we supply 3/4 of the electricity used in the Northern States, we have other resources not the least being clean water which will become very important as you continue to pollute yours.

As a Canadian what I would like us as a country to do, rebuild our military ( but stay the hell out of Iraq, and pull out of Afganistan ) as well as stop acting as if the US was our only trade partner as get our goods into other markets, you will influence us a lot less if our economys weren't so co-dependant.

I would also push harder on our trade disputes, grain, softwood lumber, beef, steel, etc. I would have these resolved by the end of 2005, or I would simply pull out of NAFTA and make up the difference in tariffs on products you can't buy anywhere else.

If we cannot agree on missle defence

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20041104.wmiss1104/
BNStory/National
/

perhaps we should scrap NORAD and look to our own programs

We are not really friends, but then I pose the question : can the US call any other country friend ? most of your coalition was bought to the cause, the exceptions being Australia and Britain... and it looks like Tony Blair may well lose the election next year over siding with Bush...

If the positions were reversed, would you feel differently ?

Look, you need to calm down and recognize your problem. It started when you misconstrued what was said and felt the need to randomly lump my name in your lame commentary. Your first attack was the mistaken presumption that I was making some sort of anal attack on whatever your icon of institution is. I never did, next time, ask and check for understanding before you randomly strike out. If anything, you have demonstrated the idiocy that betrays our American image. Being all cowboy about what you are doing, shooting off your guns, "dead or alive", "gonna go out there and wrastle me up some cattle" mentality is the classic hallmark and you've provided the perfect image of that. Thanks, no thanks.

Yes, it is. But you made the wrong interpretation. You could have checked before you just shot from the hip. You commited that irreversible error of running up to me in the schoolyard and giving me a wedgie. After that, it's all out mud-slinging.

Those phrases that I typed there offer examples of what things "American" that are found to be fairly essential in accomplishing the task at hand and in some instances, everyday living. I offered glimpses into the absurdity of making the statement that all things American have now turned evil and everyone are washing their hands of it by "running to Canada". I make a claim that, in fact, no such thing would happen.

You see dear readers, Hitler called this "the big lie" demagogues love to use this. They take a confusing issue and misrepresent what someone else has said. Now, this doesn't work so well with written word, especially one that can be easily referrenced back to as a threaded debate like this.




Good, then since I wasn't attacking Canada or advocating the attack of Canada, but in fact, having a nice conversation all along discussing various things. I'll also ignore the rest of your commentary after having read it and now understand that it all spawned from your mistaken belief that I was trying to start a shooting war between Canada and the US - when all along I was just having a nice discussion.

You misread and misunderstood. That's ok, sometimes people do that. Next time, you can always double-check with me first. Now, There isn't anything else to talk about except for your apology. I'll accept it. Thanks, now let's get along in talking about real issues instead of continuing on with the misunderstanding.

Well... we obviously agree on this "who fired the first shot" crap. I offer that you simply misread and misunderstood what I wrote. Let's just both be gracious and walk away nice & easy. I don't even really care where the mistake was made. No skin off my back either way. It's not the first time reasonable people have made mistakes before. I'm willing to let go and take it on sign on good faith that you made a mistake and we can both make up differences. Show me that true universal American or Canadian way of brotherhood and we can all go around and shake hands, smile, and toast a beer.

Well, we are not all nice Canadians. Many of us would fight instead of becoming part of your bullshit country.

I also said elect who you like, way I see it Kerry wasn't much better. Just keep it inside your borders... the majority of the planet wants that... maybe there should be a vote?

As for terrorism, what is that anyone against you ? Maybe you all need more time on the recieving end

" Looking for a place to happen, making stops along the way "





Wow, alots been said in this thread over the weekend huh?


Gino

A couple of points I'd like to make.....

First
I have no idea how you or anyone else could possible think that the U.S. would attack Canada.
Until this election period, and the political threads that have resulted from/about it, I have never doubted that Canada and the U.S. were friends. And now, after reading some of these vitriolic comments (ie "start shooting americans" , ect.) I have to say that I have not changed my mind in the least. I think the U.S. and Canada are allies and will always remain so.
No matter what you think and say in this moment of rage you seem to be going thru.

Second
I have great respect for anyone who will take up arms to protect their country that they believe in and love. That includes you.

Third
The U.S. was attacked, not by a nation state, but by terrorists. We then declared war on the terrorist and the nation states that actively support them. I would be very, very suprised (based upon your earlier posts concerning defending and fighting for your country) if you and your country would not have done the same if it was 3000 Canadians that died on Canadian soil using innocent civilans in jetliners as your weapon of choice.


I'm sorry your so pissed off at us.
I'm sorry you think your country is at risk by the U.S.

But I am not sorry that America is fighting against the terrorist factions and those who support them.


Take that as you will, but thats what this American thinks and feels.

Back when your gov was trying to cover up that you were subsidizing the sale of helocopters equipped with spraying equipment, along with chemical weapons and support equipment even while ole Saddam was using them on disenting elements of his own population.

Hard to picture back then isn't it ?

" Canada's PM has come out and said recently that we are good friends "

What else is he going to say ? We simply do too much trade with you to say what is really on our minds anymore. I would say %90 of the people I know decided not to vote for the conservative party up here last election ONLY because they are a bunch of American asskissers.

Hell, there is an active political movement to expell your ambassador ( a real piece of work )

http://www.petitiononline.com/cb23124/petition.html

We are your number two supplier of oil, number one of natural gas, we supply 3/4 of the electricity used in the Northern States, we have other resources not the least being clean water which will become very important as you continue to pollute yours.

As a Canadian what I would like us as a country to do, rebuild our military ( but stay the hell out of Iraq, and pull out of Afganistan ) as well as stop acting as if the US was our only trade partner as get our goods into other markets, you will influence us a lot less if our economys weren't so co-dependant.

I would also push harder on our trade disputes, grain, softwood lumber, beef, steel, etc. I would have these resolved by the end of 2005, or I would simply pull out of NAFTA and make up the difference in tariffs on products you can't buy anywhere else.

If we cannot agree on missle defence

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20041104.wmiss1104/
BNStory/National
/

perhaps we should scrap NORAD and look to our own programs

We are not really friends, but then I pose the question : can the US call any other country friend ? most of your coalition was bought to the cause, the exceptions being Australia and Britain... and it looks like Tony Blair may well lose the election next year over siding with Bush...

If the positions were reversed, would you feel differently ?

" Looking for a place to happen, making stops along the way "



Hehe..please don't take offense at this, but you sound like a closet case conservative. I also will issue my apologies now, because Canada isn't safe. The crackpot fringe kooks from America are trying to descend down upon Canada as we speak. It's actually quite hilarious in that respect.

Personally, I would love to see Canada rebuild its military. Every miltary person from Canada has been a bad-ass according to some relatives who have fought alongside them in WWII and the Korean War. A friend of mine and I have been discussing Canada's military. He was saying that Canada actually disbanded one of the meanest specialist groups on the planet after an issue arose in Mogadishu.

anyhow..I hope it all works out.

And at least in one respect we are still wicked when I comes to things military (our snipers rock ). And this comment comes from the US!

http://www.snipersparadise.com/articles/2430kill.htm
"
During the next four days of fighting, the Newfoundland corporal set what is believed to be a record for a long-distance shot under combat conditions, hitting an enemy gunman at a distance of 2,430 metres.
"

I don't think we get the credit we deserve because we don't go out of our way to tell people about it and a lot of our accomplishments were done when we were still technically a British colony (officially ended in 1982).

Hey Gino,

This thread got a bit buried (probably should have left it there )

But anyway, we all seem to be gluttons for punishment on these threads, are'nt we???

So....That 1935 Canada invasion thing? You might find this interesting as a counterpoint.

http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mcanadawar.html

This sort of wargame planning is done by all countries with a dedicated military. And yes, that includes Canada. I'm quite sure that somewhere in the Canadian Defense Department there is a plan to attack Greenland or North Dakota or something. It's just the way it's done.

Also, why you would place a link to a Canadian TV miniseries to bolster your fear of the U.S. invading Canada is to say the least, Ridiculous.

Heck, not long ago I watched an American TV miniseries about an invasion by Cylons with big space ships called Battlestars. I tend to take the idea of cylons and stuff with a grain of salt if you know what I mean.


By the way, you never answered my previous question. I've copied it below for you.

If I may...

In my humble opinion - if you attack America, you will die.

That's the deal people. Don't forget it. The al Qaeda Terrorist Network attacked the USA, even attacking the Pentagon itself!

America determined that many of these Terrorists train in Afganistan, thus an invasion there and many Taliban bastards were killed... but no Usama bin Laden. We were told Usama was in Afganistan but we never got him. Funny that.

No one ever questioned the USAs right to do this.

HOWEVER... People all over the world are fully aware that Americas' Invasion of Iraq is illegal.

Why?

Because there are no terrorists in Iraq. Never were.

No connection to terrorists. And no weapons to sell to terrorists (*since 1991*).

Yet the White House insists they never made a mistake, never endangered the lives of Americans or murdered and tortured innocent Iraqi civilians.

Note - there cannot be a "War against Terror" anymore than there can be a war against drugs. Same silly illogic you see.

That's the truth of the situation. That is all.

But since you appeared how about answering my question also, not stating well worn arguments that we have heard time and time again from many perspectives with differing views.

I understand from previous posts you've made that you are an Irish national who has immigrated to Canada?

So....the question to you also is:

If the terrorists had murdered 3000 of your countrymen using airliners filled with innocent people as their weapon of choice,

What would you do????????

(take your pick of Canada, Ireland, or both)

By the way, this is a serious question, I'm really interested and curious to find out what your reaction would be. All kidding aside.

"

I'll answer, but I don't think you'll like my take on these questions:

One " The U.S. was attacked, not by a nation state, but by terrorists. We then declared war "

The United States didn't declare this war, Bin Laden did in 1997, see this interview with CNN's Peter Arnett.

http://www.ishipress.com/osamaint.htm

Bin Laden contends that US foreign policy, the active support of Israel against Palestine, the proping up of the regime in Saudi Arabia as well as other places were the first attacks in this war.

I would also contend that the application of terror is a military function during war, your " shock and awe " going into Iraq for example. I could give several other historical examples of this.

" nation states that actively support them. "

Iraq was never proven to had anything to do with Al-Quida, well before the US went in anyway.

Afganistan " before you invaded " was seeking some kind of international extradition process concerning Bin Laden, the biggest hurdle was the US didn't want to present any evidence

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1539468.stm

http://www.usatoday.com/news/sept11/2001/11/03/extradite.htm

" if you and your country would not have done the same if it was 3000 Canadians that died on Canadian soil using innocent civilans in jetliners as your weapon of choice. "

First of all, I would like to think we would have a revolution up here before our government acted the way yours has on the international stage.

Second, the idea of " innocent " doesn't appeal to me. I think that a citizen of a country is responsible for the actions of that country. Think of the Japanese who died in the fire-bombing of Tokyo during WW2. They paid the price for the actions of their government. Sure I would fight, have no illusion about that, but in that case I would compare myself to the German soldier of say late 1944.

Democrat... Republican

it doesn't matter, it is the way you do thinks around the world that has to change.

Sorry for jumping in. Not fair I realize.

I don't have to create a scenario. I can still use 9/11.

Please remember the world wide sympathy and support the USA recieved immediately after Sept 9/11. Compare that with RIGHT NOW.

After 9/11 Canada had massive memorials and housed thousands of stranded Americans who couldn't fly for a month after (Saudies get to fly home but not Americans... anyho') and when we learned that the USA found a terrorist stronghold supported by a disgusting collection of thugs in Afganistan (the Taliban) we in Canada WENT TO WAR for the first time since Korea.

Tell me. What the frell did you think we did?

Not that Americans even remember as far back as Afganistan. You're all about your failed Coalition of the Shrinking... *chuckle*.

It's the Occupation of Iraq that is illegal and immoral. America was dead to rights going into Afganistan and got world wide support to do so!

Then you let goofs in the White Houe piss all that away. Now the USA is considered the worst sort of nation. Lies, murder, torture. The list goes on.

See? I don't have to make anything up. We Canadians did what we knew we needed to do.

And we knew Iraq wasn't a threat. EVERYONE knew that. But this phony threat from Saddam was sold to the US and you people swallowed it like week old rubber smudge.

Remember, there is a real struggle against fundementalism in the mountains of Afganistan and America has destroyed any chance of creating alliences to combat the threat and has effectively abandonded any ligitimate struggle against terrorism for thier Oil and Israel policy.

It would be the wrong side, and hopefully the losing side... but I would stand with my country none the less. But also I truely believe that in Canada we would never have been attacked for the reasons you were, we have had a history of bad governments... but not ones which are completely immoral.

I'm talking about all of 10 guys in the White House who run the USA, Nixen Neofascists possed up with fundemantalist God burners who have taken over the White House with the help of blind corporate greed. Yes, that's hypobole but it's still accurate.

America isn't any frickin' different than the rest of the world.

Any arguement that begins with "America is wrong because..." has already fallen for the neofasist framing of the arguement.

The enemy is Bush/Cheney. They ordered the American Military and secret service to invade, murder, torture, and devistate a people. Hitler did that too. That's called fascism.

Surely we can differentiate between Germans and Nazis eh?

Be warned - being pro-Bush isn't a valid position, it's insane. It's not defendable and that's why you see English tabloids refering to Americans as "dumb". Tony Blair will be booted soon and then the USA will see Britian leave Bagdadh. Then here will Bush/Cheney be?

Where will America be?

I'll tell ya - wherever those 10 guys who run America say so. That's not a good idea! Think bankrupt, beaten, and hated worldwide? Oh wait... TOO LATE!

I'm gone for the weekend, everyone have a good one if you can, and I'll catch you on Monday.


Hope you had a great week-end. My dog died.

And the Amerca of today is incredibly myopic. America lives in a warm bubble of crass commerical corporate TV goo that keeps out anything real. Real is too contraversial in the USA. You can't even play Saving Private Ryan on network TV because of a few "real" words of dialoge, for example.

The thing that gets Gino going is the rhetoric in the USA, this Liberal vs. Conservative extreem view (only on CNN!) thing has run right over any reasonable point of view. It's a joy for the neofascists on American TV (Robert Novak on CNN for example) to arrogantly twist political discourse into an evangelical tent shout down. It makes me sick to watch them destroy any sign of reason just to fill a half hour of thier TV time with hollow jingoism.

Is this what America deserves?

It's easy to see what's going on in the USA. And the Corporate Media is the worst offender of wagging the dog. It makes me laugh (in tears) to see that on one hand the Corporate Media hands Bush/Cheney the White House while B/C themselves send thier "White House Spokesmen" to blame the War on Iraq on the "Liberal Media". It's brilliant... and truly evil.

The arguement in the US right now goes like this - If you're against the Invasion of Iraq, you're Anti-American.

So it's America vs. the world (or you)... not the White House. It's never the White House! Hmmm...

Get it?

Notice it's never the White Houses fault, so WHEN thier actions are critisized the neofascists, with Nazi Party glee, turn around and accuse - "why do you hate America?!?"

Now the arguement is "framed" to mean it's a critisism of America, not them!

Sick.

On top of this crazy situation and wag the dog politics - Americans have no idea that the world has always viewed the USA as aggressive and war mongering and Americans are often shocked by this reaction from the world. Well, too bad! There is a reason Canadians are loved all over the world and Americans are not. If you can't imagine what I'm talking about you are surely a typical American.

Thanks for putting up with my rant. Ghouly out.

Gino,

I'm a little disconcerted with your answer.

Not the fact that you and Ghoulman keep comparing the U.S. with "WW2 Facist Nazi Germany" which I think is just some deep seated need of yours to insult this country due to your apparent frustration with this nations policies.

What I'm more concerned and "Shocked" by is your statement that even if Canada turned into a Fascist Genocidal country like Nazi Germany, that you would still support it.

I would'nt. If that ever truly happened in this country (yes, I know you guys keep slapping that label on us, but I in no way agree with you), any other american would have a hard time beating me to the polls to vote for the presidents impeachment.

I have to say,I'm a bit disappointed

"Not the fact that you and Ghoulman keep comparing the U.S. with "WW2 Facist Nazi Germany"

Only in that your side is wrong and it will eventually lose. I actually think of you more as 1930's Japan trying to expand and grab as much resources as you can get away with.

" which I think is just some deep seated need of yours to insult this country due to your apparent frustration with this nations policies."

It's that or simply start shooting.

" What I'm more concerned and "Shocked" by is your statement that even if Canada turned into a Fascist Genocidal country like Nazi Germany, that you would still support it. "

No, I said I would fight outside countrys attempting to FORCE us to change to their system. I also expressed the belief we would have a civil war long before we got to your point, I honestly feel the average Canadian is a little most informed internationally than most Americans... We wouldn't let our government get out of hand.

" I would'nt. If that ever truly happened in this country (yes, I know you guys keep slapping that label on us, but I in no way agree with you), any other american would have a hard time beating me to the polls to vote for the presidents impeachment. "

Long as it is some other poor bastard fighting for his country, in his country and it does'nt affect the homefront, you are willing to turn a blind eye right. That is why the war is going to come to you more and more....

Ghoully is wrong about one thing, I myself REALLY don't care what happens inside the US, you could go to wearing sheets and howling at the moon, so what. It is your foreign policy I object to..

well Bush was elected as President this time around at least according to the media, so America meaning Us or at least the people who voted him no longer get a free pass, Now this country and the people in it will have to take on some of the respossiblity its not just the 10 guys in the White house anymore

I have got to stop using the liberal Vs conservative view point because.even though all the while I clearly realize that we are all in the same boat

alot of conservatives don't even realize that the Republican party as they think of it , doesn't exsist under the Bush Administration, its been taken over by neocon's fascist!!

instead of using them and us its not them and us its all of us..I've let that propaganda get to me, your right the neofascist love it, they want to keep us divided

anyway just wanted to say great post all around!!

well I would go after the specific terrorist group that commited the crime.

I would Not declare War on a country that didn't have anything to do with it, and then use false pretenses that changed from month to month, about going to war

Nor would I Declare War on all terrorist because that is a War that you can never win and that will never end. anybody can be a terrorist, terrorist are created by terror ,

we are considered terrorist in Iraq..and we are creating more terrorist everyday with our actions!! so its a loosing battle

to put it simply I would do what the Bush administration did not do!!

Pardon me SigmaNunki,

I have never stated anything of the kind. Please don't put words in my mouth. That's a very rude thing to do.

The ONLY thing that Bush and Hitler have in common is that they were both born Human. A trait that is shared with all the people on this planet. Hitler however lost his humanity somewhere along that twisted path of his life.

Any comparison of Pres. Bush to Hitler is just plain ludicrous.

In addition, I find it morally repugnant that you or anyone else would find anything that Hitler and his ilk had done as "Succesfull"

That one statement alone shows how lacking in Humanity you are!!!!!!!!!

I said, "That is, that Bush and Hilter don't have everything in common." So, then they do have everything in common? That is the opposite of what I said after all.

Torture, trying to take over the world, forcing there beliefs on others that don't want it, illegally invading countries that had done nothing to provoke it, etc. Seems to be somewhat similar to me.

You seem to confuse the term successful with agreement. He had goals and achieved them to a large degree. Were they bad? Yes. Does that matter when only considering if he accomplished them? No. You are confusing the issue.

Did Hilter try to take over Europe?
Aside from the UK he did. He as well took a good chunk of Russia. This make him largly successful in this regard.

Did Hilter want to and try to kill all the Jews?
Yes, he did. Hilter didn't get all of them, but a large number of them. So, this would make him successful to a large extent here as well.

It was like this in all his endevours? In general, did he achieve to a large degree what he wanted to acheive?
Yes.

Was it good that we stopped him so that he failed in his endevours?
God YES!

This statement and the ones you made above, show just how "intellegent" you are. Or perhaps you should just think before you type next time.

SigmaNunki,

I was hoping you would respond like this. Sorry for my method of provoking it.

And thank you for proving my point.

This thread has morphed from a an alarmist "oh my god, Canada must be next" to an attempted proof of this concern by stating that Pres. Bush and his cabinet are a Fascist Nazi regime just like Hitler in the 30's and 40's.

So, lets go thru your list from your response.

Your Response:
Did Hilter try to take over Europe?
Aside from the UK he did. He as well took a good chunk of Russia. This make him largly successful in this regard.

My Response:
Yes, Hitler did try to take over Europe by force. Although why you don't include the UK in this I'm not sure. I always thought the battle of Britian was the precursor of the invasion of the UK, but fortunately Hitler failed to break Britains resolve. Unlike Poland, France, ect.

Now, the US has not invaded Europe, or for that matter its local equivalent neigboring countries like Canada, Mexico, Greenland, South America ect.
The US has not attacked anyone with the intention of annexing that country.

Yes, the US did attack Afganistan. This was done ONLY bacause of the Talibans harboring of the Group of people who did attack America on American soil (attacked not just once, but several times), but also attacked US Embassies and military units in overseas friendly countries.
But did the US attack Afganistan in order to keep it for ourselves? No, the US did not. The US removed the terrorist Taliban regime, and instituted a goverment that just held free elections for the first time in its history. All in all, most people around the world know that the Afgani people are safer and happier now than they were 4 years ago.

As far as Iraq and Saddam are concerned, lets not forget that after the 1990 war with Iraq, which was fought because SADDAM invaded a neigbor country (the US did not start that war), the war did not end. It was a Cease fire contigent on Saddams meeting of the UN resolutions. Saddam did not meet these resolution, continued to fire on Coalition aircraft, attempted to assasinate a former president of the US, and murdered countless numbers of his own people. Saddam violated the Cease fire agreement for over ten years, so a Coalition went back in to finish the job. A side benefit of this was to stop Saddams harboring and abetting terrorist (payouts to suicide bombers ect.)




Your Response:
Did Hilter want to and try to kill all the Jews?
Yes, he did. Hilter didn't get all of them, but a large number of them. So, this would make him successful to a large extent here as well.


My Response:
Yes, Hitler killed 6 million or so before the end of his sorry life. Again, I believe the vast majority of the world believe this was an act of Genocide on Hitlers part.

I know that there is another thread around about how the US fight in Fallujah is an act of Genocide against the Sunni minority, but I can't even start to understand how anyone can believe anything the US is doing in Fallujah equates to Genocide. If any act of Genocide is taking place there, it's the doing of the insurgents and foreign fighters.


Your response:
Was it good that we stopped him so that he failed in his endevours?
God YES!


My response:
Amen to that!



So, in conclusion, any cariciture of Pres Bush being the "reincarnation" of Hitler is just so much sour grape political rhetoric by people who don't like the idea that the US is standing up and fighting for itself against the enemies that have declared war on it.

I guess they would feel better if the US just folded under like Spain did when the train got blown up.

I just don't see the logic in that

" Barnstormer:

"
And that would be?

" Barnstormer:

"
I never said that they were the same. I said there are similar. If you would look to history you would see a lot of similarities as well. My wife (who is German by the way) sees them as well. In her country they teach exactly what Hilter was to prevent it from happening again. So, I would think that he would know what she's talking about. You should really look to history before you start spouting off about how someone is "wrong."

" Barnstormer:
Although why you don't include the UK in this I'm not sure.
"
If you would have read my post and knew alittle something about history you would realize that I was talking about what Hilter was successful in doing. Did he take the UK? No! That's why I didn't include it.

" Barnstormer:
The US has not attacked anyone with the intention of annexing that country.
"
Um, that's highly debatable. I mean annex what? There oil? Then I would use this term. How about installing a puppet regime so that control is basically assured? I consider that an implicit annex, which is pretty much what's going on.

" Barnstormer:
Yes, the US did attack Afganistan.
...
"
I never said anything about Afganistan. And incase you didn't notice, there were other countries there too! Canada included. The world was for this one.

And by the way, the elections there are a joke. The country-side is untravelable. Even the armed forces there will only travel by air. The forces there basically own Kabul and that's it. Woo Hoo, all hail the president of Kabul!

And from an interview from one of your own CIA agents, there were approx. 50,000 Taliban at the beginning of the war and about 40,000 made it to the mountains to fight again another day... which they are. I'd hardly call it a largely successful endevour.

But, no, the US didn't stay there. In fact over the past years the US has moved forces out of Afganistan and placed them in Iraq basically turning its back on the war on terror forcing the rest of the world to pick up its slack.

What was that about the US being soooo against terrorism again?

You should read the news more often. Perhaps you should also rethink that happier thing as well.

" Barnstormer:
As far as Iraq and Saddam are concerned, lets not forget that after the 1990 war with Iraq, which was fought because SADDAM invaded a neigbor country...
"
Which he didn't do this time round. And the world was for the former and not for the latter you know.

" Barnstormer:
...and murdered countless numbers of his own people.
"
I was watching C-SPAN one day (before this illegal invasion of Iraq) and saw one rep. up there talking about the horrible things that Saddam had done. Funny thing was, that on the list (there were dates) there was nothing listed in this regard after the first Gulf war... interesting.

" Barnstormer:
A side benefit of this was to stop Saddams harboring and abetting terrorist (payouts to suicide bombers ect.)
"
There is no evidence for this. It is all heresay. And Saddam hated Bin Laden.

" Barnstormer:
...If any act of Genocide is taking place there, it's the doing of the insurgents and foreign fighters.
"
Yes the comparison to genocide here is silly, but so is yours.

You basically agree with me and then say that? How would the insurgents and foreign fighters doing what they're doing equat genocide? Last I looked there are about 300 mill americans and what, acouple thousand dead? A far cry from from any significant percentage.


In my conclusion, I'll state that I'm not saying that Bush is Hilter, never did. I'm saying that they are similar, that they've done things that are parrallel. It is clear if you look what they've both done. I listed some above and you seemed to ignore it. Convenient.

And Iraq did nothing to deserve what it got. Do I agree that Saddam needed to be gone? Yes. Do I agree in the way it was done? No. Is the world a safer place? God NO! And your own CIA agrees with me. All that's been done, is the turning of Iraq into a terrorists recruiting dream.


When it comes to terrorism, you can't get rid of it. It will always be there as there are always radical irrational people in the world. What makes us (in the rest of the world) different is that we won't lower ourselves to there level. We will also when faced with such things look to ourselves to see if we are doing anything wrong, or if it would be acceptable to change something that would make them go way. This isn't folding, it's learning. Sometimes policies get over looked and radical irrational people make radical irrational violent actions. Wouldn't it be better to reverse a silly law then kill?

That's my (any many others)logic. IMO, the US should look to change it hostile forgien policy. But then again, that'd just be an admission that the US played a role in this whole thing. And that wouldn't be good for the aragent US to do. So, because of that, more and more blood will shed.


But I will now ask you a question. When does this end? Do you actually think that the terrorists can be beaten?
