given who much disdain you have for the powers that be you seem pretty willing to swallow the "we're fighting them over there so we don't need to over here" line pretty well...

not that i need to remind you but iraq was never a threat, never housed al qaeda and never had weapons that would be of any threat to the US.

iran falls pretty much into the same boat.

north korea on the other hand...

i'm not saying theyve made a conscious decision to go in and kill muslims en masse but that IS what is happening and there are plenty of people in the corridors of power who will be smirking themselves to sleep over this. it's a convenient by product of this conflict and there is a sizeable number of republicans on another board i post on who are literally wetting themselves with excitement at the prospect at another war with "dem iranian sand niggers" and more than a handful of them said they'd be perfectly happy to nuke the entire middle east if given half the chance.

i'm confident these are not isolated incidents since i know plenty of fairly moderate righties who echo the same sentiment because theyve swallowed the GoP mantra hook line and sinker.
