It's going to be WWIII

[KrazyHorse]

Skyjack feels that his post in a previous thread which was deleted by UR deserves its own place. Here it is (at least what I can recall):

His hypothesis is that Islamic fundamentalist groups have basically been at war with the West for a while now, and that Iraq is just the latest battleground of what is actually a worldwide "warm" war. This, according to him was sufficient justification for the Iraq war, and damn the irrelevancies like CBN weapons (or the lack of them).

Discuss.

I thought it was going to be Vietnam. I can not keep up with these histrionic rantings.

It's certainly fair to say that groups such as Islamic Jihad seek destruction of the West and Western values, and have plenty of people willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve that aim.

Thanks, Krazy.

This is the post in question (CAPS removed):

The fact is This is World War III.

...........I'll let that sink in a moment............

And this time it's the USA's turn to beg and cry for help in a war that nobody wants to admit is happening (remember appeasement? [WWI, WWII] it STILL doesn't work).

This is a war brought on by the Islamo-Fascists against the non-Muslim and Western World. Bush & his boys are trying to get a foothold in the region to force a change in the very thinking in the land of "the Religion of Peace".

It's a slightly desperate move but a bold one in the face of overwhelming apathy, denial, greed and just plain cowardice displayed by many in the West. They are thinking if Iraq becomes a productive, 'free' society, others in the region will follow.

The Iraq war has everything to do with terror, Queda, WMD and the very survival of the Western culture. Same with Afghanistan. Take a look at the map (you CAN find the Middle East, CAN't you?). Look at Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan...nice swath, eh? Iran will fall on it's own, from within...it's already starting.

The victim mentality in the so called "Religion of Peace" must be changed for the positive or WWIII may become an all out shooting war (READ: the non-Muslims declare Jihad BACK).

Many elements within "the Religion of Peace" are bent on converting (or killing) the non-beleivers. They also seek to establish fascist thocracies (Muslim) covering the entire planet. They preach victimhood and Western oppression to brainwash their recruits.

Whatever the excuse for invasion, the intent is to change the Middle East to thinking more like the West. Who knows if it will work. I don't see any other suggestions on the table.

Remember: This is World War III.


Now is that so bad? Is this a blatant troll? Come on..let the people discuss it.

Nah, another smaller Vietnam? Maybe with some trying from all sides. But WW3 hardly.

[KrazyHorse]

My take on it is that Iraq's links to fundamentalist Islamic groups is a hell of a lot weaker than some other candidates, starting with Iran, Syria, Lebanon, etc.

I don't think that even given an assumed moral justification that the Iraq war was smart from a simply strategic view if victory against Islamic militants is the aim.

Krazy...I think the idea is to make Iraq an example of a non terror/dictator/jew hating/ west hating productive country, in the hopes that others will follow.

Actually a very interesting point is that most of the islamic fundamentalist indoctrination appears to be happening at Pakistan, which if I'm not confused, is another fine point of american brilliance in foreign policy? Their was a study recently that placed that country (Pakistan not the US) highly on the indictrination of fundamentalism through specific religious schools. And of course there's Saudi Arabia which actually finances the building of such "spiritual centres" in many countries around the world including so called western ones.

WW III? That's a laugh - hyperbole beyond all absurdity in fact.

The fact that it was closed by a mod is something you can complain about in Apolyton/Community and get your +1's until that thread is closed, or you can complain directly to the owners of the site.

Unless and until they decide differently, the thread (and any immediate copycat subjects) are closed.

Pull this again, and I'll have the asses of everyone involved. If you don't like the thread closure, take it up with the owners.

Ops, cross-post.

[MichaeltheGreat]

According to KrazyHorse's explanation, it was deleted more because it was a threadjack in the Iraqi Scientist's thread. There's enough trolling on Iraq, but I figure one more won't really hurt if it's alright with you?

You are the Grand Executioner, not me

So come, little trolls, gather together where I can see you all in one place...
