Ah finally someone who argues with me.
First of all the response to my Dad being in the military. Yes he was. However, we share differing political views. I am not trying to pretend that I know War, I made no allusions to that. I know a countless number of Veterans. I was making remarks on the manner in which people disrespect the veterans. I also do not believe that I said anything about the U.S. needing to shove bullets down peoples throats.
Yes, Countries get a long well with out war. I agree with this. In the latest post I never said that War is the only solution. I made a point to say that we should avoid War. That would be an ideal world; however, we do not live in one.

To be honest, I was taken aback when you compared The Revolutionary War to the conflict in the Middle East. In the Revolution we fought for Independence from a tyrant. Yes we were viewed as terrorists in England's eyes. Why wouldn't we be? We were causing a great disturbance for them.

Let's go back to the Persian Gulf War. Kuwait was invaded by Sadam. We went in and drove them out. (I wish we went farther.) 9/11, we were attacked by terrorists. We retaliated, as expected. The terrorists are fighting for their form of independence. However, there independence is morally wrong. Now of course I would think this, being an American. I do think that I have some bias here, but this where the difference lies. During the Revolution most Americans were for independence. The difference is that in the countries that these terrorists are from they do not agree with the terrorists. The Revolution was not based off religious extremity, while that is the terrorists main belief.
