		<description><![CDATA[&quot;This would seem to imply that we should be willing to accept violence in the United States as a matter of course.&quot; 
 
Violence is a part of life. It&#039;s how you define and manage it. My point is that some of the increase in violence can be attributed to cultural factors that extend throughout the globe. 
 
If you&#039;re trying to steer the discussion towards a US-specific solution, that&#039;s fine. As a final sentence to your comment, it left me wondering what your point was, hence the question. 
 
I agree that gun control laws must be relaxed, not made more extensive. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;History: Bush, et al. believed that after 9/11 the status quo in the ME was untenable (I agree) and they had to do something audacious to change it. &quot; 
 
 
Something audacious like a co-marketing plan with Apple Computer? 
 
You&#039;re a retread who thinks you understand history because you ape the rhetoric of others. 
 
&quot;If Obama had failed so epically, you&#039;d be stroking out, rather than making excuses for him.&quot; 
 
Here is absolute proof you just don&#039;t get it. You think we&#039;re fighting over loyalty towards men. We&#039;re fighting over loyalty to ideology. Bush did not have the political support to execute properly because of the left, who are always against anything that keeps America strong. 0&#039;Bama does not have to contend with such strong forces against foreign policy success and because of that any Democratic president in theory has more room to maneuver if they are looking to do right for US global hegemony. Yet we don&#039;t see that happen. We see 0&#039;Bama take charge from the opposition and prove that the opposition doesn&#039;t oppose conservative policies for nuanced reasons but because they want us to lose. 
 
You defend leftist positions and ideology. You claim to be conservative. If I accept you&#039;re not a big liar, I must conclude your a complete dupe who&#039;s been indoctrinated to consider himself conservative wile toeing the leftist party line. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;It was lefties pretending to behave like conservatives who messed everything up. The media! Liberals! Communists!&quot; 
 
It might seem funny to you and it might seem natural for the most powerful military in the world to send a small percentage of its resources and allow insurgents to kill our soldiers and innocent bystanders while we&#039;re afraid to escalate with enough violence to win quickly and decisively. 
 
Your sense of humor is disgusting. ]]></description>

Over-simplifier, trusting the Saudis led to some bad decisions. Some times when performing analysis, we find more than a single factor or cause.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;1.) You believe we are begging Islamists to like us, though we&#039;re killing them.&quot; 
 
 
We&#039;re doing both. I&#039;m sorry if that&#039;s too complicated for you. 
 
&quot;2.) You believe we are telling them their culture is superior to ours, though we are doing everything in our power to Westernize their culture.&quot; 
 
This is totally false. Use quotes sir psycho when you attribute statements to me. 
 
  
 
&quot;3.) You believe we are not using &quot;enough&quot; violence, but can&#039;t tell us how, or who we should target, beyond the actual jihadists who we are obliterating. &quot; 
 
 
I can&#039;t tell you how because you don&#039;t pay enough attention to follow the conversation. You&#039;re lost because of your own problems.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Where/what should we be using more violence in these war zones? &quot; 
 
War should be violent in intensity and as short as possible. That results in the least violence over time. You simply can&#039;t read well. We have made the mistake of using too little violence from the time the war commenced. It could have been over many years ago. Many dead people should be alive. 
 
My doctrine is pro-life while you only imagine yourself as being somehow more benign because you are a leftist dupe. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;We are not telling them that their culture is better than ours.&quot; 
 
Where did you get that, psycho? Conversation with you is nearly impossible. 
 
 
&quot;To the contrary, we&#039;re helping them build Western institutions because we know they are better than theirs.&quot; 
 
We know it, except leftists, but we pretend that we accept their narratives that we&#039;re not superior at all but that the West got more powerful because we stole so much from colonies and so forth. Now we&#039;re just paying back what we owe. That is the delusional third world perspective from haters of the West. There are plenty of developing world citizens who do not hate us, but that&#039;s another topic. 
 
As usual, you oversimplify while accusing others of doing the same. It&#039;s one thing to reduce your argument to the simple most salient points, but your simplifications use non-salient facts, counter-examples presented as salients, and worse. 
 
Your a leftist dupe who&#039;s been programmed to think he&#039;s a conservative. You&#039;re just slightly more conservative than 0&#039;Bama. Not much though. ]]></description>

&quot;Now how is that the equivalent of begging the enemy to like us?&quot; 
 
Allowing minimal military actions while projecting rhetorically and diplomatically that we will accept any of their terms as long as they don&#039;t &quot;spike the football&quot; is equal to surrender. The begging is part of that process. 
 
Essentially yes, when you examine the facts. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#039;re missing what we ask of our soldiers, for whom killing is not an abstract concept like for you and me.  Even the guys who stormed Omaha Beach, or raised the flag on Iwo Jima, who had not one ounce of doubt about the morality of their mission, suffered immense psychic and spiritual pain from killing other human beings.   
 
We must understand what we really ask of our soldiers, typically young men who come back old men.   
 
War vets are haunted by their deeds and often feel crushing guilt and a sense of being &quot;dirty&quot; by having killed, no matter how noble the cause.   ]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#039;re missing what we ask of our soldiers, for whom killing is not an abstract concept like for you and me.  Even the guys who stormed Omaha Beach, or raised the flag on Iwo Jima, who had not one ounce of doubt about the morality of their mission, suffered immense psychic and spiritual pain from killing other human beings.   </p>
<p>We must understand what we really ask of our soldiers, typically young men who come back old men.   </p>
<p>War vets are haunted by their deeds and often feel crushing guilt and a sense of being &quot;dirty&quot; by having killed, no matter how noble the cause.   </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, so now it was the SAUDIs fault for Bush&#039;s epic Iraq disaster!  Hah!  It was lefties pretending to behave like conservatives who messed everything up.  The media!  Liberals!  Communists!   
 
You just keep digging, don&#039;t you?  At least you have the sense to just attempt to dodge.   
 
History:  Bush, et al. believed that after 9/11 the status quo in the ME was untenable (I agree) and they had to do something audacious to change it.  Not only was Saddam a continuing thorn in our side (I agree), but they thought Iraqis were ripe for democracy.  We would smash the Baathists, take over, and be beloved by Iraqis.  We could remove troops from SA (which we did) and use Iraq as our base of power.  Iraq would be an America loving democracy in the heart of the beast and be a beacon for change.   
 
Great fantasy, disastrous execution.  1 trillion dollars later, the US is FAR weaker militarily, diplomatically and financially.  Iran is stronger.  Iraq is now a failed state open to jihadists.  If Obama had failed so epically, you&#039;d be stroking out, rather than making excuses for him.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, then, explain yourself, Patton.  You indicated we were not using &quot;enough&quot; violence.  Your words, not mine.  Where/what should we be using more violence in these war zones?  You are not making sense, and are contradicting yourself.   
 
Let&#039;s recap, okay?: 
 
1.) You believe we are begging Islamists to like us, though we&#039;re killing them. 
2.)  You believe we are telling them their culture is superior to ours, though we are doing everything in our power to Westernize their culture. 
3.)  You believe we are not using &quot;enough&quot; violence, but can&#039;t tell us how, or who we should target, beyond the actual jihadists who we are obliterating.  
 
Don&#039;t blame me for making a mess of your positions.  You&#039;ve done it all by yourself.   ]]></description>
