Would you support your country in a war of conquest?

Mobius, don't take the time to read the thread or anything. I'm not advocating conquest, in fact I'm against it, firmly. Also, "conservative bible bashers" are fairly rare I think.

"basher" here is an alternative for "thumper"

BTW, Mobius, chill on the home references.

[Lancer]

Just noticed the home thing. Another screwed up aspect of Mobs post. He doesn't have a clue about my home life.

MtG, in fact basher and thumbper are two vey different things, niether of which I am.

Total ****ed up post on the part of Mobius, fairly rare thankfully.

It depends.

[Lancer]

I'm amazed at the amount of 'depends'. Rather alarming.

[Az]

nothing alarming.

e.g.: The SU invasion of Afghanistan in order to help the govt. there.

I think it was fully justified, and I am sorry that it failed.

The only kind of war I support are when our allies are attacked or we are attacked by another nation. It is wrong for a Democracy to have a first-strike doctrine.

We don't need to conquer people to be imperialist. Jesus Christ, look at multi-national corporations.

[Lancer]

Azazel, there ya go, that's a butt pimple of an opinion.

Sava, we DID get attacked first, by terrorists. We are now on the second terrorist supporting nation.

I'm against wars of aggression or conquest but would probably make an exception to settle the New Zealand question.

Wallonia invested so much in you after WWII. And now that you are richer you want them off. Unthankful bastards.

I think it's time to reread your history books

more of a dandruff problem of an opinion, but it has been great to listen to your deep and correct arguments.

As a Canadian, I'd love to take back what was wrongfully taken from my country.

The Alaskan Panhandle springs to mind.

HAMLET
Good sir, whose powers are these?

Captain
They are of Can'da, sir.

HAMLET
How purposed, sir, I pray you?

Captain
Against some part of US.

HAMLET
Who commands them, sir?

Captain
The nephew to old Chretien, Paul Martin.

HAMLET
Goes it against the main of US, sir,
Or for some frontier?

Captain
Truly to speak, and with no addition,
We go to gain a little patch of ground
That hath in it no profit but the name.
To pay five pennies, five, I would not farm it;
Nor will it yield to Natives or the Yank
A ranker rate, should it be sold in fee.

HAMLET
Why, then the Yankie never will defend it.

Captain
Yes, it is already garrison'd.

HAMLET
Two thousand souls and twenty billion dollars
Will not debate the question of this straw:
This is the imposthume of much wealth and peace,
That inward breaks, and shows no cause without
Why the man dies. I humbly thank you, sir.

Captain
See you in he', sir.

When did the Russians steal that from you?

[Lancer]

R i g h t... DinoDoc is right. We bought Alaska from the Russians, didn't conquer it.
