Its not a matter of being a mindset. I do not consider myself a puppet of the United States Government. For me its about defending the basic values and rights of humanity. In regards to your comment about "petty tyrants.. and use of hitler as an example..." Remember this. At one point hitler was nothing more than a "petty" corpral. In 1991 Iraq had one of the largest military forces in the world. If the gulf war had not occured in 90's there is no telling where we would be today.[/quote:efe64][/quote:efe64]
Well that should be enough logic for you then...
At one point Iraq had the capability to take over the entire middle east. The allied forces forcefully removed the Republican Guard and liberated Kuwait. 12 years later, we are in this situation. Granted no WMD's have been found yet, but important officials had serious reasons to believe the bath party had WMD's in their posession. 12 years after the fact, humiliated by defeat, Hussein would have every reason to use those weapons on the middle east and any opposing forces... now i know hind sight is 20/20, but what IF he had them, what IF we did nothing, and what IF they were used. If anything learn from our previous mistakes.
1919 The treaty of versailles was signed limiting the germans for establishing a military
In the years to come the German Military would build the most powerful navy and airforce in the world, while everyone just sat back and watched... What IF we took action sooner?
