It's also the day that GWB decided to bomb Iraq and kill hundreds of innocent civilians.

I'd be about as happy for that hypothetical situation as I was about Democrats openly calling for, and receiving, extreme violence and destruction over the summer of 2020 and 2021, during which dozens of people were killed and violent mobs ruled the streets, even taking over and governmental control of major sections of multiple cities.Currently, the Republicans are receiving support from Russia: Calling for an uprising and preventing the arrest of the "orange" hero.
How happy about this?
Apparently you forgot that Iraq had just invaded Kuwait and this attack was to expel them. I totally disagree with how the war turned into a regime change campaign. That was Bush the younger trying to finish what daddy should have done in the previous Gulf war. That was bad and as with all of our regime change efforts failed miserably.It's also the day that GWB decided to bomb Iraq and kill hundreds of innocent civilians.
You are so gullible. No one will be attempting to prevent the arrest of Trump. That is not what the protests are about. You are sounding like @ColinEssex That would be downright IDIOTIC. The left knows they are in trouble and are trying to provoke another Jan 6th event. They have to keep Trump off the ballot in 2024. His popularity is growing and they're running out of time. Their cheating scheme has been exposed and people will be watching this election very closely. They may not be able to pull it off again. Trump himself called for the demonstration to show the people's displeasure with how Trump is being persecuted. That is probably going to backfire because the FBI will infiltrate the protest and attempt again to cause a problem and some stupid people will do something stupid. Let me summarize the situation for you.Currently, the Republicans are receiving support from Russia: Calling for an uprising and preventing the arrest of the "orange" hero.
My statement referred only to today being the anniversary of a war.Apparently you forgot that Iraq had just invaded Kuwait. . . . .
I thought after a break, we may be able to get along. Thats why i havent posted for weeks. But I see you don't want that. OK, the gloves are off if that's what you want.You are so gullible. No one will be attempting to prevent the arrest of Trump. That is not what the protests are about. You are sounding like @ColinEssex That would be downright IDIOTIC.
You could have said that. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. You choose to make the most negative, accusatory statement you could possibly make. Innocent people always die in wars and Iraq was no different. Captain Kirk made that point very clearly in one of Star Trek's early morality plays. I suppose you think it was OK for Iraq to invade Kuwait because that was what the retaliation was all about. I will not justify this war. It was moral at the start but it turned into yet another regime change which made it immoral.My statement referred only to today being the anniversary of a war.
That's a shame as I respect your knowledge of code and Access. I hoped relations may improve after my self enforced break, but no. However, you are entitled (as we all are) to interpret comments as you see fit.Colin, we are never going to get along as long as all of your comments include purple words intended to inflame a response.

kill hundreds of innocent civilians
Stalin did not need prosecutors and judges. He had handwritten lists of quotas to be liquidated as enemies of the state. To liquidate meant to kill or to send to the GULAG, and that was in the order of tens of thousands.Does that bring back memories of Stalin's henchman?

And if you make the comparison: The liqidated also included the closest companions, i.e. the Bolshevik leadership of the first hours, further large parts of the intelligentsia, more than 90 percent of the generals (one reason why Hitler's Germany could celebrate such huge successes in the invasion at the beginning).
Apart from that: I read a lot of hatred between the lines. The hatred is not reduced, but cultivated and fomented. Hatred generates counter-hatred. Each new confrontation creates a new wound, which can be a step towards further escalation.
In view of the many weapons available, accidents with weapons and crime with weapons will soon become less important than the growing hatred between people.
You don't need Russians, Chinese or Islamists to make life difficult for you. You yourselves are completely sufficient for this.
I was referring to the "Show me the person and I'll show you the crime" quote which has a direct corolorary with the Attorney General of New York's campaign promises. Her campaign was totally based on Finding a Crime to charge Trump with. You probably don't see much reporting of local political races and so would be unaware of the background of this particular case against Trump.Stalin did not need prosecutors and judges.
Yes I agree.Hmm.
Well we agree on one thing - "interpretation" is a funny thing!
Sometimes war is justified, most times not
