Reply #49: I'm just wondering which of the many, many wars you fought [View All]

you fought in order to "defend yourselves"...

As to your questions: To me that sounds lika Iran, not Iraq.

I'm not certain if I ever would attack first, no matter under which circumstances. By your measure Germany would not be guilty for starting WW I - war was inevitable, everybody knew that at the time. Americans often have one rule for themselves and one for the rest of the world, I don't.

What I would certainly do is work for peace until the very last minute - an option you didn't mention. What you also didn't mention was international allies who could help - with their diplomacy, not with their guns.

Neither did you mention whether the intelligence that the other state wanted to attack was true - or another invention of the military-industrial complex, like most in the history of mankind.

In the case of Iran IRAN was certainly threatened first - by the US. Their head of state is being severely critized by Iranians, and most don't take him seriously. The world - and I'm especially talking of a strong United Nations which seem to be the LAST thing your present administration wants - could take care of that problem, I'm sure.

I have no idea who you are and whom you vote for. But I get the feeling your questions are meant to be provocative.
