If you have liberal opinions I would like to have a discussion about the Iraq situation. If you are a conservative please go elsewhere. I think W is evil. So is his dad.

Would I count? Compared to me, the liberals and conservatives are almost the same thing.

Both liberals and conservatives advocate capitalism and government. Their differences are tiny compared to those between liberals and anarcho-communists or even anarcho-communists and mutualists.

He is dumb because he says he wants peace but kills people. Killing for peace is an oximoron.

Oh, be quiet. You make Liberals look bad. Conservatives always claim that Liberals use dumb, childish arguments, and you prove them right.

liberals, i believe are more socially minded than conservatives.

and i believe it was said that this is for liberals, not conservatives...

i don't see how one could be both liberal and conservative at the same time, so if you're more liberal, stay,
if you're more conservative...

Not true. By stopping a power-hungry Saddam in '91, we kept the war from spreading to other regions. Another example, NATO bombing Belgrade in order to presuade the Serbs to be more forgiving towards Kosovo.

True, but some would argue that you and other Anarchists are the most liberal of all. Even odder, Letila is that some people say that Anarchists are the most conservative of all.

(This is The Zoogie People...not that anyone would know me anyway, I dont hang around General much)

Compared to Letila, conservatism and Liberalism are the same...Letila is an anarchist :P And likes women with exceptionally large posteriors. That much I know.

Heck, I'm a liberal...slightly more moderate than most, but still. The war in Iraq, in my mind, is to a certain extent legitamate. The WMD thing is a bit confusing, although I do believ ethat Bush had a firm conviction that Iraq had them.

The regime of Saddam Hussein should have been removed; but doing so without UN approval was a tad...foolish of us. The Iraq War was succesful though, and I'm fairly angry that we're going on about pulling out of Iraq because there are casualties. It's a friggin war! People die in war! Even after, it's not as if we have complete military control there, militants are rebelling and fighting back constantly. But it's a friggin war, you can expect losses in a war.

As for anarchists being conservative, he does have a point. Conservatives favour smaller federal governments than liberals.

don't you think though, that the insurgence would let up if an international force supported by the UN went into Iraq.
The Iraqis I'd assume feel occupied under the americans and fear colonization (the insurgence anyways)
wouldn't it be smart of bush to swallow his pride and ask the UN for help and admit that the situation is bad and that the war he carelessly started is not over?

How? I don't see anything conservative about abolishing government and capitalism.

Sorry dude, i'm one of the more liberal people out there, but you can not go around making stupid comments. You have to back things up, if not with facts, than at least with reasoning.

This only highlights the inadaquacy of the stupid mass media political construct. The entire political spectrum cannot be accuratly described in terms of two poles.

You mean all of you like to just reaffirm your own opinions without reference to anything or anybody with contradictory views? Yes, that does sound very liberal.

We dont just reaffirm our opinions, Thats spam. We exchange idesa and concepts. And We do have good politicialdiscussions.

You mean the way most talk-show "conservatives" do?

This is a poor trolling attempt. It doesn't take much intelligence to feign partisan idiocy, and yet, look how far very little has gone.

Agreed. The real, open, expression of their own "ideas" is the surest way to electoral annihilation for liberals. It's not surprising that "liberal", even now, is still a dirty word in American politics. Not surprising when you read some of the dross in threads like this.

Yes, the general direction of society has been in a conservative direction. As long as mankind has been around, any step in a progressive direction has brought us further into ruin.

Umm, do you have any idea why Saddam invaded Kuwait? By your statement, It doesn't sound like it. Saddam invaded Kuwait (the former 19th province of Iraq) because they were flooding the market with oil and Iraq was on the verge of becoming bankrupt. Saddam went to OPEC for help, they ignored him, Saddam wasn't liked because he was not Islamic enough for other Arab countries. Saddam was too secular for their liking.. He had no intentions of moving into any other regions. I wish people would look up their history before making incorrect statements.

Thank you so much for the warning. Considering that the last post I made on the subject was 15 hours before you made your warning, why you would warn me is beyond me. As far as I'm concerned the thread is dead. But may I ask, respectfully of course, dear moderator, is time-serving on NS only a merit if the timer-server shares your own liberal political beliefs? Because I've been on NS a long time too, but I'm right-wing. Is a "respected player" someone whose political values match your own?

I can't possibly follow people around as they post. I call it when I see it. This is a big site. When I catch it, I call the person on it. Do I see every thing , no, of course not, how could I. Anbar has been posting on this site as long as I can recall, I have never seen him have a problem with any one. Nor have I ever seen him cause trouble, has nothing to do with political view. Read back to what you said.. maybe that's why I warned you.
