The Allies were the villains IN WWII, were they?
The Allies were the villains IN WWII, were they?You've obviously forgotten World War 2 then.
Polls: Americans Are Sick of the War On Terror, War On Drugs
The American people are now overwhelminglyopposed to more war in Ukraine, Syria, Iran and elsewhere.
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll shows:
Americans in large numbers want the U.S. to reduce its role in world affairs even as a showdown with Russia over Ukraine preoccupies Washington ….
In a marked change from past decades, nearly half of those surveyed want the U.S. to be less active on the global stage, with fewer than one-fifth calling for more active engagement—an anti-interventionist current that sweeps across party lines.
A Pew poll from December found a majority of Americans – more than ever before in Pew’s 50-year history of polling this question – think the U.S. “should mind its own business internationally and let other countries get along as best they can on their own.”
A Pew/USA Today poll conducted over the weekend found that Americans oppose – by a 2-1 margin – any U.S. military aid to Ukraine.
A YouGov poll conducted last month found that only 14 percent of Americans said the U.S. has “any responsibility” to get involved in Ukraine, and only 18 percent think the U.S. “has any responsibility to protect Ukraine if Russia were to invade.”
Huffington Post reports:
Americans are more likely than not to say that the United States has no responsibility to get involved in Ukraine even under extreme circumstances, the new survey shows ….
Pluralities of Democrats, Republicans and independents agreed that the U.S. does not have a responsibility to protect Ukraine.
Support for a war against Syria is less than one-sixth the approval level Americans had for the Iraq war in 2003 (Americans would rather have a root canal or a colonoscopy than bomb Syria).
A USA Today/Pew Poll from January shows that Americans now believe by a 50%-38% margin that war against Iraq was stupid.
Do you think focusing on domestic issues like the economy is more important?
So you're going to take things out of context and associate meanings to them which weren't intended, are you?The Allies were the villains IN WWII, were they?
I'm more tired of our government than I am tired of wars on terror, drugs, whatever.
That's good because this regime only wages war on rich people, white people, and men. Man made disasters have yet to be waged war upon.
There was such a time?!?!!??!
Oh, we are tired of the War on Terror? That's nice. Apparently wars aren't won or lost anymore, one side just gets bored and wanders off.
I'm so glad we have these options. Apparently we can just agree to call it all a draw, and all of us go home. Hooray.
With our global economy and interests, its probably getting worse, not better. Ideally, why not have leaders and elders hash it out among themselves with fistfights, saber rattling, or in some cases...bike races
(sorry, weird sense of humor)
I am guessing that, if our esteemed leaders would have to dirty their very own hands, they would think twice about sending troops to be maimed or killed.
So you're going to take things out of context and associate meanings to them which weren't intended, are you?
Apparently you thought the WoT would end with Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups admitting defeat?
Some apparently did. Recall General Motors is alive and Osama bin Laden is dead"?
And now GM is facing federal investigations and Al Qaeda remains strong.
That we've done the things we condemn others for.What was your point about WWII then?
That we've done the things we condemn others for.
Can you read the thread?Can you be more specific?
Can you read the thread?
Answering your question is not backing off. Read the thread and your question will be answered. You can start with the post of mine you originally quoted.I had a feeling you'd back off.
After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings.
Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology.
The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots.
This looks like completely unnecessary harassment of the pilots. The 12,000 Federal Flight Deck Officers, the pilots who have been approved to carry guns, are reported to have the best behavior of any federal law enforcement agency. There are no cases where any of them has improperly brandished or used a gun. There are just a few cases where officers have improperly used their IDs.
