I'm fine with destabilizing a regime that is openly murdering thousands in the streets, and Daniel537 Apr 2012 #2

And what about the destabilization of the former Afghan regime from which the Taliban took power? The Northerner Apr 2012 #3

Exactly. Would you have supported destabilizing that regime at the time? The Northerner Apr 2012 #8

I would have supported destabilizing the Soviet troops in the country. Daniel537 Apr 2012 #9

Because Afghanistan's affairs are the US's affairs? The Northerner Apr 2012 #13

Considering that the Soviet Union was a real threat, to the US and many other nations, Daniel537 Apr 2012 #16

So, as long another country is perceived as a threat then interfering others affairs is acceptable? The Northerner Apr 2012 #17

I said real threat, not perceived. Daniel537 Apr 2012 #19

Oh, ok, as a long as a country is a "threat" and has WMDs it's acceptable to warmonger with them? The Northerner Apr 2012 #22

Warmonger? Lol. Daniel537 Apr 2012 #25

My opnion has always been that Brzezinski has engaged in a bit too much self-congratulation here RZM Apr 2012 #38

Uhh, what is this coastline you speak of? Afghanistan in landlocked RZM Apr 2012 #35

I don't really dispute much of that and am aware of the internal dispute within Afghanistan prior Puregonzo1188 Apr 2012 #49

What's wrong with self-interest? Daniel537 Apr 2012 #52

I was referring to intervening in Afghanistan. Surely you don't get to use another country and it's Puregonzo1188 Apr 2012 #55

If Israel is a democratic state why are refugees not allowed to return to their homes, but someone Puregonzo1188 Apr 2012 #18

I'm not here to defend everything Israel, or the Arab states do... Daniel537 Apr 2012 #21

I agree that anyone who launches an launches an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation must deal Puregonzo1188 Apr 2012 #34

Accountable by whom? Daniel537 Apr 2012 #39

I believe war crimes should prosecuted. That would include the use of Qassam rockets. Puregonzo1188 Apr 2012 #42

That '47 plan sure looks better than what they have now, don't you think? Daniel537 Apr 2012 #36

The United Nations disagrees with you. You might recall the issue of refugees from the '48 war, you Puregonzo1188 Apr 2012 #40

So your going from the '47 plan to the '48 war now? Daniel537 Apr 2012 #44

The war started before the intervention by Arab states. Two-thirds of Palestinian refugees were Puregonzo1188 Apr 2012 #54

The Arab states intervened to stop Jews from emigrating, not to protect Palestinians. Daniel537 Apr 2012 #56
