So, Obama is not interventionist enough for CFR Krauthammer? Will these warmongering imperialists ever have enough? The world turns, things happen, both good and bad. When will these neo-con, CFR blockheads learn that nobody, not even the USA can be the world's police?

Be careful Dave, there is a new standard in society. If you disagree with a persons position, you are automatically labeled (racist, sexist, homophobe, etc.) as it pertains to whatever distinction defines that person. Disagreeing with Krauthammer means you hate all folks with disabilities...you are a disablist, shame on you.

I try to be an equal opportunity offender.

I'm not merely disagreeing with Krauthammer's position, I am accusing him of promoting the neo-conservative agenda of war, war and more war so that a chosen few may profit. I am anti New World Order, oligarchy, fascist, elitist imperialism. If that offends anyone, Good.

Edit: Oh yeah, my apologies, not all blockheads are neo-cons. In fact some of my good friends are rather square and wood headed.

I want some of these "Yes" voters to enlist, strap on a weapon, kiss their families goodbye, and head over to help since they're so eager.

It's easy to send someone into harm's way when it's not you, and all you have to do is say "Thank you" at a few parades each year.

Sorry, but these kinds of polls annoy me.

I realize that they could just mean more sanctions, or something else, but where do all of these things lead? It's not like history hasn't repeated itself...uh...a lot! It's tiring.

So my guess is that there are (as of 3:51pm on Friday) 295 volunteers lining up at the local Armed Forces recruiting office?

Or do we have another 295 brave souls for the 101st Fighting Keyboardists?

Oh, and if those brave, brave souls in the 101st Fighting Keyboardists would like, I'll dig up the address to where they can send their voluntary monetary donations so that THIS war is paid for. Hope they have a spare $trillion or two for another war burning a hole in their pockets.
