Why are Lindsey Graham and other republicans so hot to go into another war?

Because they forgotten how Al-Qaeda and the Taliban started. We funneled weapons to the Taliban to fight against the Russians in Afghanistan and they eventually used some of that support against us decades later. We do this over and over again and our stupid politicians have gotten each and every time this has happened to us.

But that is what neo-conservatives want, they want an American Empire, a Pax Americana, and they are willing to trash so-called entitlements to do it.

War with Syria is much scarier that that. Russia is putting soldiers in Syria as we speak. They are guarding their interests there which include air/missle support system that they sold Syria. So if US and a coalition attack from the air we are sure to kill some Russians. Not good.

Republicans need to think before they speak but so does Obama. We now know they( Assad and supporters) used Saran Gas on the people of Syria. Obama said they crossed a red line. Problem is what to do about that? If we attack their stockpiles of bio - we could release a deadly cloud that could float over them and other countries like Israel and Lebanon.

There are still questions about the Boston Bombing.We are in dangerous times.

If you look at McCain and Graham, the two biggest warmongers, they are both Air Force. So despite tremendous evidence to the contrary, they keep thinking that just once, air power alone will be the solution.

They don't seem to consider that the opposition in Syria is disjointed, and each has their own agenda, and perhaps little different from what is already in power. It is a civil war, and they want the US to intervene. Sad, really.

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races.

Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied,

'Non-believers!'

I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'

He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'

I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

The Muslim was speechless.

I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:

Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'

You could have heard a pin drop.

Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President.

I believe that we have reached that point considering who we have as our president.

I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference

These people are from states where a lot of war materials are manufactured. if they can sucker us into more wars, their states' economies will boom and they stand greater chances at being re-elected. Take note of these ashwholes' trying to force the Army to accept more tanks that the Army declares it does not want or need. Same thing...

McCain receives my vote. i stumble upon ninety% of the time I agree together with his platform. I comprehend anybody needing replace, and that is all I listen on the different side, yet replace comes at a cost, and that i in my view do not pick to verify authorities get larger.

The government runs Al Qaeda.

Haven't seen a link but if true they are probably backing obama on his "line in the sand" statement

Ummm, I think Obama is the one drawing "red lines".
