| SciFiBoy said: US and UK motto's since 9/11 has been "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" (in times of war, the laws fall silent) in essence they dont care how many international laws they break, theyve broken so many laws theyve lost sight of what were fighting for, how do we preach the rule of law to the middle east when we throw it out the window in the name of counter-terrorism, is this justice now? what do you think? |
I think it's naive people like yourself that let Hitler re-establish post WWI Germany for another go at it.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
