Culling the population

[Bob Smith]

what do you do if the people of the country are unwilling to form a new government and enforce its constitution? Is it then encumbent upon us to prop up their government and maintain it ?

What do you do when those same fuckheads kill, mutilate and drag your soldiers bodies through the streets? Or kidnap civilians and hold them hostage while threatening/promising worse treatment that the guys dragged through the streets? What then?

 

[Hogg]

Yep, they are ruthless, lawless people.

I'm sorta waiting for someone to pose the argument: "Well, a few bad apples does not mean that the entire orchard is foul". I would guess that some of the people in iraq are scared to death right now and would like to get back to some semblance of normal life but you sure as hell cant get that message from the folks that we seem to be battling on a daily basis.

Instead of your apples analogy, its more like a quart of motor oil will foul a few hundred thousand gallons of water.

Just about everyone on this baord knows what I do for a living. Better yet my calling in life. This post by Hogg kinda got to me. IMO, i do not think life was better under Clinton. For me as a pastor no way was it. I will be voting for Bush again this November, because I cannot as a pastor vote for Kerry. Yes, I believe that the war in Iraq is a mess, and that we might have not gone about it the right way. But at least Bush is against abortion, partial birth abortion, stem cell research, and so forth. The point is, depending on your views either Bush or Kerry is a monster. I am sad to say that our choices this election are very poor, and either way we get screwed. The question is who will screw us over more.

It's my understanding that only the pope is infallible. And he would
never say "screw".

The pope is indeed fallible.

What then? Nuke them. But I am not sure that all of the Iraqi population is behind the torture and mutilation of our soldiers and civs.

I agree. I was being sarcastic.
