I disagree. This is the same war that has been ongoing for centuries. If we didn't protect our interests, others would take them over. Every people group tries to expand, always, always leading to conflict. The choice to be made is do you fight for Western ideals, or Islamic ones. It's still Greece vs Persia.
Entire neighborhoods have been destroyed in Gaza on the argument that they’re supportive of Hamas. Those civilians served in the Israeli military. Thus they’re fair game. See how that works? And it is ‘we” with Israel. Our senior citizen president has made it clear Bibi was his co-pilot, he didn’t even inform Democrats. You know, the people American citizens elected to represent them.
Blind denial can’t change the demands for the US to leave.
Wow, your rationalization and love for Islamic militarism and conquest is finally coming fully into the light.
Wailing about “Islamic terrorism” while celebrating a regime which killed far more Americans is comical.
our interests were not in starting a new forever ME war over a WMD hoax. And your comment underlines what those of us have been arguing for years: Republicans just want to bomb Iran. There is no such thing as being anti war or seeking peace. Republicans have been bloodthirsty for Iran for decades. Well, now you own all of it. This isn’t the same landscape as 2003. You aren’t walking away from this one.
What does any of that nonsense have to do with the fact that the U.S. “slaughtered” zero people in this strike?
“While this isolation is said to have been "a reasonably strong and effective instrument of government"; it was highly "centralised to the extent that the defeat of the royal army left the entire land open to the invaders". The resulting power vacuum, which may have indeed caught Tariq completely by surprise, would have aided the Muslim conquest. It may have been equally welcome to the Hispano-Roman peasants who were probably – as D.W. Lomax claims – disillusioned by the prominent legal, linguistic and social divide between them and the "barbaric" and "decadent" Visigoth royal family.”
I'm not a republican... I'm a liberal. I protested against the Iraq war. Not sure how I own anything for not wanting the Jewish people to be eradicated, which is a stated goal of Islam.
Eradicating Jewish people is not a stated goal of Islam, and if you’re so passionate about protecting Israel, you should really go join their military instead of chanting “onward Christian soldier” with other folks kids.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
May they head first into the water
Oh really?
Bullshit. The Quran calls for the killing of the Jews.
The Christians who want us to destroy Iran on behalf of Israel only want that because they expect Jesus to return, which means the Jews on the land of Israel get cast into hell because they don’t accept Jesus as their savior. None of this from either side is about the Jewish people, it’s about the land they’re standing on. The right hates Jews, and Islamic regimes have made Jews scapegoats.
The Crusades began with the systematic mass murder of every Jewish person the Crusaders could catch.
It’s okay, most Republicans like cheering on violence from their couches too.
That was done for survival of the regime. Lots of Jewish people living in Egypt these days? You know, the ones that had settled into communities there for over a thousand years?
What you're doing is cheerleading violence against ourselves. That's a self own and I'll always call it out.
The “regime” was in no danger of falling. Sadat had just taken power and proven Egyptian skill by slaughtering Israeli tankers and pilots around the Suez.
