...Well if you were to compare this situation to the war in the middle east, then the bigger child would be beating the crap out of the other two children. America ran into the middle east with explosives and placed military bases on top of it. Intervention in this way helps no one.

another scenerio, The police will arrest people with guns if they do not have a permet, although the police themselves have guns, so do you mean by what you are saying technically it is wrong for police to have guns? or is it appropriate for some kind of authority to have something to controll the things it is trying to protect, while protecting itself at the same time.

He's probably saying that it's hypocritical; that America has no greater right than another country to carry it's nuclear weapons. But I disagree, America does have more of a right, in comparison to certain radical groups of people. These groups of people would love to have nukes to kill the people they hate. America, on the other hand, doesn't have a particular country right now that it would like to
completely massacre.

we are still in Afghanistan, and i don't feel like going into depth about iraq at the moment but i can assure you there are valid reasons to go into war, bush is an intelligent man people need to look past his dialect, he is human but i doubt gore or kerry, or any one of you could have done a better job at handling the disasters in his term.

We pulled men out of Afghanistan and stuck them in Iraq. It's not that we completely left Afghanistan, it's that we reduced our forces there, and sent extra forces to a place that had nothing to do with our initial fight.
And about Iraq, you have yet to respond to me in the other thread.

Crying to Bush about gas prices is logical, because Bush sent us to war, and war needs quite a bit of oil to run. As oil runs out, gas prices will raise. It wouldn't be so bad if we were losing our oil for a legit cause, but that's not the case.
