It was one of the MOST horrible things happened in human history. It was started by Hitler himself, not any other country that wished to remove him. So that war was very unjustified. But the invasion of Germany was very justified, because Germnay was the agressor.


You skirted around the question.

Did the US and Britian and other allies have justification to respond to the threat that the German and other Axis powers posed to the world?
And I would like to point out that Japan killed many Americans the day Pearl Harbor was bombed - did we not have justification to protect our interest at that point in history?



We could go back and forth on this issue. So I will sum it up this way...

I feel your way of thinking actually does not promote peace, it works toward destroying peace. History has shown that there is always bad people wanting to do bad things. If left unchecked, bad people will destroy all that is good. I think we can agree that Saddam is a very bad person. I, in my heart, feel that if he is not controlled he will have a hand in hurting innocent lives. You see eggmac, your opinion makes you feel good. I understand your opinion. Everyone should strive for peaceful solutions to problems.

However, in the real world, those opinons can get you hurt or killed. Especially in Today's world where one gram of anthrax can kill millions of people. And what is really scary for me, is that there is a person out there, hell there are thousands of people out there just waiting to be the one to deliver that destruction to my home land. Do you really believe that if we just leave these people alone, they wont attempt to destroy us? Again please join the real world. There hatred for us should not be underestimated, they will kill us at any given chance!

I am not a pacifist for this reason. I will protect my homeland from any threat. I have made that oath as part of the military and I make that oath today as a member of society who enjoys and appreciates what my country gives me. And I want my children to be able to enjoy the same type of life I enjoyed!


We have two ears but only one mouth. So that we can listen more and talk less.
