There are bad people in the world William769 Sep 2014 #45

Should bad people be prosecuted for war crimes such as torture? grahamhgreen Sep 2014 #69

Depends on the circumstances. Thats what a court of law is for. William769 Sep 2014 #70

Prosecution is not conviction. I, too, feel they should have their day in court. grahamhgreen Sep 2014 #71

Still waiting for this: BARACK OBAMA Published: July 14, 2008 - grahamhgreen Sep 2014 #15

It turned out the real world is messier sub.theory Sep 2014 #28

That's right. The world is more complicated and complex than it was in 2008. Louisiana1976 Sep 2014 #44

The Middle East is for certain n/t sub.theory Sep 2014 #48

"... this is something that we know how to do." In fact, the only thing. Scuba Sep 2014 #4

Obviously we don't. ISIS is what al-qaeda morphed into. grahamhgreen Sep 2014 #6

You must be thinking of war for some purpose other than profits. This worked as designed. Scuba Sep 2014 #23

Hmmm I though they morphed into the Taliban. Maybe they are changelings. Yea that's it. L0oniX Sep 2014 #35

Changelings is a perfect word. We've always been at war with the changelings. grahamhgreen Sep 2014 #39

Of course war means raising taxes, mostly on the rich, JimDandy Sep 2014 #36

Aw how nice of you to say that ...have you joined the BOG yet? L0oniX Sep 2014 #34

And has he enlisted? Hemmingway needs to join the Army to help out. n/t JimDandy Sep 2014 #37

By that same token sub.theory Sep 2014 #38

I am not the one advocating war... JimDandy Sep 2014 #50

I suspect that's exactly Obama's plan sub.theory Sep 2014 #21

An international coalition to maximiize MIC profits. Scuba Sep 2014 #25
