Attacking civilians makes one a terrorist. Attacking the Russian army, on the other hand, is fully justified. They knew the risks before invading another country.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio -
I could easily say that Iraq is Israels turf, not ours......
Israel's turf is our turf, since Israel is in our sphere of influence
. They aren't a superpower, so they don't get a 'turf'.
And since the fall of the USSR, the Mid East has become our 'sphere'.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I heard about this on NPR this morning, and it sounded like this was mostly a pride thing: "we can handle this ourselves, thank you very much." I must have missed the part of the story regarding the spying allegations. The Peace Corps workers they interviewed didn't seem all that upset.
You may now continue your regularly scheduled threadjack.

There just not a US like or USSR like superpower... but they'll probably get there soon.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Oh dear. Not one of these boring definitional arguments again.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Who was arguing?

You're begging for one. But this one's just silly. Even if true, it would just degrade the meaning of supermodel.

I'm begging for one? What did you turn mindreader all of a sudden?
I'm not saying them and the US are the only superpowers. I'm saying Britain and France deserve to be there as well (or at least in the argument.. probably France more than Britain though). But only the US goes beyond superpower.
After all, superpower is a colloquial definition. It isn't anywhere in IR (which only speaks of great powers and hegemons), and is adequately explained by dictionary defintion.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

It's just a matter of time.

Then explain to me please how in the hell a camel loaded with bags full of explosives and left on MARKET square could be attack vs. army? You know, only crazy would call market a military target.
Or perhaps you could explain to silly Russian, why those guys made bombs inside of various things- photo cameras, pack of sigaretes, etc and quite often inside childish TOYS and thrown them everywhere and when someone piked them up...boom. This isn't a terrorism right?
Just to make you fell a bit better, I'll change one word in your claim.
It should be:Attacking the Russian army, on the other hand, is fully justified. They knew the risks before invading another country.
Attacking the US army, on the other hand, is fully justified. They knew the risks before invading another country.Comment
