Davin, you have consistently and ardently challenged the neocons over here with truth and facts, and still you feel as if you are just blowing smoke. And I agree. I have read your posts with great appreciation for your clarity and perception. However, your political persuasion will never open the hearts and minds who build their expectations on a faulty perspective to begin with. This is one of your better posts. I know what you mean about going over and over the same arguments with no headway in sight. But it's also a way we choose to express.
Raoul has come far with revealing how he really thinks, Alcaray is getting on a roll, we've won McFly over and you have no idea how many come over here and will read your posts and be empowered by them. (I, for one, always read your posts).
>"Saddam was not a pedophile and Iraq was not a kindergarten, and I don't see how bombing the kindergarten to expel the pedophile is a reasonable course of action.
This SIMPLE analogy makes sense to me, but others somehow think that might makes right, and haven't clearly seen where revenge (in the diguise of patriotism) can advance the cause of world peace.
>"the argument of pre-emptive self defense, or the hypocritical argument that we can choose to kill one set of tyrants while building up another."
War begets war begets war.
Thank you Davin. You should become a political writer, maybe even run for office on a ticket, just to spread your sanity among the masses. They need it.
