And the consequences of not committing to an action when a threat is present and the country with that threat neither has the will and/capabilty to take out their enemies are terrible to contemplate if we just stand by.  We would get blamed for being isolationist and not helping weaker nations if we stood by.  It is a damned iudo, damned iudon't scenario in military scenarios.

 

 

So doesn't Syria now have the right to do whatever it takes to defend themselves against the threat of a country that just killed it's citizens? Doesn't every country have the right to develop nuclear arms as a deterrent against the United States? Don't Afghanis and Iraqis have the right to attack their invaders?

 

Or is unlimited force that violates international law only the right of the United States of America?

GOD DAMMNIT STOF YOU GO TO HELL, YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE!

If only us Americans had the insight of Candians.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
