Kick and Goddamned R if you don't want to Attack Syria!

145. Well, that's just part of the equation, dontchaknow.

It's all about being the most macho, the biggest bully on the block, the "Mine's BIGGER" "We're Number One! We're Number One!" thing. Nobody bothers to think any farther than that. It's all about spoiling to have somebody try to knock the battery off our obviously-bigger-than-yours shoulder. It's like being with a bunch of dogs. There's ALWAYS that Alpha Male dynamic that is damn near inescapable.

That's why romney and mccain and dubya fancied themselves as President. They figured they just simply had it coming because THEY needed to assert their Ultimate Dominance, and grab the ultimate Mr. America crown. Of course, with them, there was also the weasely little "gotta top Daddy and assert MY head of the family status now" that afflicted all three of them.

That's why so many old farts in their comfortable easy chairs wanna play war. Many of them never got the chance - when they HAD the chance. How many of 'em took a pass when Vietnam was raging? How many of 'em are too young ever to know war, and wish they had a chance to play Rambo with REAL shootin' irons mowin' down the bad guys like they do in the movies. How many of 'em have a John Wayne complex or a Clint Eastwood complex or an Ironman complex or a Zero Dark Thirty complex - just wanting and needing really badly to prove how virile and macho they are? I'll bet "Carnival cruz" from Texas has the biggest hard-on for war in the entire Senate. And I'll bet he's never served either. They all LOVE war, especially those who never served. I guess they figure they score their he-man certifications if they can agitate for war even while they pansied out when they had the chance as young men. They wanna roar for war without ever having to get their hands dirty, or their bodies bloodied and broken.

And remember, when you fight that war in that nice plush easy chair from some fancy office in Washington DC, you enjoy all the "glory" of war without the muss n fuss of having to get your hands dirty forcryingoutloud.
