So say, Sweden comes into the US and tells us to get rid of all our nuclear weapons. We tell them to go home and listen to their ABBA records. Does Sweden have the right to come over here and start shooting at people?

---

Sure they do. The difference is, they lose badly.

---

Unlike our rousing victory in Iraq.

---

I thought we kicked their military's butt. Guess I am thinking of the wrong Iraq.

---

No doubt. Our military whipped up on them so fast. But the media makes it look like we lost (even though we are in control of their country). I guess the media also claims the people do not want us their also. Talk to a soldier if you want to hear what the Iraqis want.

so much control that dozens of people die every single day from violence. violence that did not exist before the war. interesting.

hello, a soldier who says iraqis want us there is not necessarily toeing the bush party line. there are probably those who think the iraqis don't want us there but won't say so because of their sense of duty. but there are those who have actually talked to iraqis who want us there. is that toeing the bush line?

Very true. I also resent the "talk to soldier" comment the one poster made. I have talked to soldiers and they don't all toe the party line for Bush.

and you just said very true to something you contradicted two threads before. Wow, you must be a liberal.

Why do you feel the need to speak to me sarcastically? Do you realize how your posts come off to others? Isn't that what I'm supposed to say when someone is speaking to me rudely?

there's more violence here than in iraq on any given day. does that mean we don't have control here either? should we pull out of east L.A.? how would you suggest we control the murderers in iraq?

I think any response that starts with the word "hello" implies a "wake up" message that I found to be rude.

If you found "hello" rude, I apologize. If you really did, you might want to avoid political or religious discussions on BOL. The talk can be tough.

Let's agree on some ground rules folks. Does everyone agree that no one needs to apologize for something as mild as saying "hello" in a political discussion?
