Is It Wrong to Think Homosexuality is a Sin?

Afghanistan was fully justified. Agreed on Iraq. That was about greed, but I do not think it was GW's idea. Both Cheney and Rumsfeld were both well known to be supporting a strong US presence in Iraq. It cost us.
Afghanistan wasn't justified, the Afghans had nothing to do with 9/11. That's like invading Italy to get at the mafia.

The government of Afghanistan was shielding Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. They were given the opportunity to give them up- and decided against it. I am okay with our invasion of Afghanistan.

Iraq was a stupid distraction from our war in Afghanistan- and is in large part the reason why Afghanistan is such a mess today.
Yet when AlQaeda and Bin Laden escaped into Pakistan, we did nothing

Decided to invade Iraq instead
We worked with Pakistan on that issue, but the situation in Pakistan is delicate.

OTOH, the night we "invaded" Pakistan to take down bin Laden, the Paki national defense radar just happened to go down. Coincidence?
We had a double standard of what we tolerated from Afghanistan and what we tolerated from Pakistan
Disagreed. We could work with the pro-Western forces in Pakistan, an element that largely didn't exist in Afghanistan because the Taliban had eliminated them.
 
Liberals, you cannot have it BOTH ways. You cannot let lunatics run the asylum and have "peace on earth." Two opposing concepts are going to fight with one another.
Lunatics run the asylum?

You are the ones who elected Trump
Maybe the Democrats shouldn't have been so corrupt that they put up Hillary as a candidate. I would have voted for James Webb and a few other Democrats. Given the only choices were Trump and Hillary, I voted Johnson rather than two deplorables.
 
Don't be a fool, we never killed Osama Bin Laden.
Ahhh, an important clue. No doubt you believe "9/11 was an inside job", that TWA 800 was shot down by the US Navy and that the CIA murdered JFK.

Have a nice life.
When we killed Saddam's sons...!
Terminal America's Epitaph Will Be PROUD TO DIE TAKING A RICHKID'S PLACE

Notice that Iraqi HeirHeads at least stayed and fought, unlike the spoiled sheltered sissyboys in the United States, South Vietnam, Lebanon, and Kuwait.
 
Is adultry a sin? And is it ok to talk against it?

This question is specifically for you Bonzi.

I've been a tad slow in the ol noggin, but it hit me just now. You claim you are a christian, are against gay lifestyle because it is against God's law, yet...you are having an affair.

How is this not hypocritical?
Interesting point. I request women have permission from their Man.

The same pro-Western forces that allowed bin Laden to live within their midst?

That area, and several others, isn't pro-Western. If you didn't know this, that explains a lot.

However,you're free to side with the terrorists and claim that what happened on 9/11 was both justice and that the US deserved it.

No...but I don't think invasions costing 7000 American lives is an appropriate solution

I supported Afghanistan at the time and always opposed Iraq
Now, 16 years later, I doubt if either one was worth it
 
Stalin and Mao were atheists and had rules.
GW Bush is a Christian who had rules but it didn't stop him from destroying 2 countries for no good reason.

Well Pakistan didn't officially shield Al Qaeda like Afghanistan.

The invasion of Iraq was a stupid, and expensive distraction from the mission.

That's like saying that the Italian government was shielding the mafia, ok, they were, but still, we never invaded them. :D
Your support for the Taliban and their atrocities are noted.

Still, just because the Taliban were abusive assholes committing atrocities against humanity is not a reason to go to war. When they gave safe haven to terrorists who had repeatedly attacked the United States but murdered almost 3000 in one day, then, yeah, that's justification for taking them down.
Then why haven't we invaded all the other countries that have terrorists? Kenya, Sudan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, ...?

Divine answered your question before you asked.

Re-read what he wrote.

Has Kenya murdered thousands of Americans?

At what point do you think the US should become involved in foreign relations? At what point should we go to war with another country?

The US was justified to attack Afghanistan, but not Iraq. We should have finished the job in Afghanistan in 2003 instead of diverting resources and focus to Iraq leaving Afghanistan half-finished. Now we're still in Afghanistan trying to get back to where we were in 2003.

I do think 9/11 was an excuse to attack Iraq. I think the powers that be wanted that maniac out of power, and they would have used anything to get in there and take him out. The "global economy" has to run smoothly after all, and Saddam was a thorn in the side of the "global community." How can we have world peace and harmony with such lunatics running the asylum?

Well you are of course entitled to your opinion.

But 9/11 was not related to Iraq in anyway. Hell Iraq actually persecuted Al Aqaeda in Iraq.

There are plenty of lunatics out there- Syria's leader of the time was just as murderous- but we didn't bother to take him out. I can't figure out what justification there was for the loss of American and Iraqi lives and the cost to American tax payers that left us with mess in Iraq.

We can't and shouldn't be the regime change agent for the world.

If you think we need to invade every country with a nutjob, there are much more dangerous targets. Saddam was mostly dangerous to his own people.

Apparently the powers that be, who probably know a whole lot more than any of US nobodies, did not agree with your assessment. :)

So you will just blindly accept any invasion the United States government decides to make?
 
Is it not a GOOD thing that Saddam was taken out? Sure ISIS filling the empty void is a shameful unintended consequence. However, Saddam was NOT just a menace to his own people. That is why so many wanted to take him out.

I cry no tears for Saddam Hussein- glad the asshole got what was coming to him.
But we had no good justification to remove him- an how we handled it turned into a nightmare.

  1. Iran was able to expand its power in the region
  2. Multiple terrorists groups were able to work in Iraq- not just ISIS
  3. 100,000 Iraqi's died- and much of their infrastructure was destroyed.

More importantly- what has the U.S. gained by removing Saddam? Glad he is dead- just as I am glad Qaddafy is dead- but both Iraq and Libya demonstrate the problems with just removing a despot.
 
I don't know of secret intelligence gathered. I don't know about "top secret" data the government or global powers may have on this one or that one. Neither do. Neither do any of us peons.

We are a Republic- if the government can't explain why the United States should go to war to we the citizens- then the government should not be allowed to go to war.

Ok, so even if I give you that the invasion of Afghanistan was justified to get Al-Qaeda and Osama, What's the justification for staying there now? Apparently, the US army thinks that Osama is dead and I haven't heard anything about Al-Qaeda being there any more either. So why stay?

Actually Al Qaeda is still there.

The only justification for staying in Afghanistan is to prevent groups like Isis and Al Qaeda for using it as a base.

But we are going to have to pull out eventually.
