I'll amend what I said. The Taliban weren't directly responsible, but to get at Al Qaeda, we had to go into Afghanistan. Hence the justification for fighting the Taliban, who were between us and Al Qaeda. In hindsight, the Afghan war doesn't seem to have been justified, but it would have been if it had been short.

Peace with honor, I think he called it. I feel old.

In reply to I was under the impression

Oh, come on. We were attacked by Al Qaeda, not just the nineteen hijackers. The Taliban were sheltering and subsidizing Al Qaeda, so they were responsible. Police couldn't do anything about it, anymore than police could have done something about the German invasion of Poland.

As for for the idea of removing Jews from Israel, you haven't said anything new, so I can stand on what I said in reply.

Relocation isn't a new idea.

Relocation isn't a new idea. It's been suggested before. But it would never work because too many Jews believe god gave them that little slice of desert several thousand years ago.

In reply to You do remember that these

I was under the impression that these people that ATTACKED us died in the attack and i'm certain that no Taliban had attacked us before we invaded their country. The people that assisted those who died attacking us are liable for their actions but that is a police matter and Hellfire Missiles are not legal judicial instruments.

I thought my Israel in Antarctica idea would offer young Israelis some hope of adventure, a new frontier and a challenge that doesn't require them to murder children, bulldoze homes and harass grandmothers ar checkpoints.

In reply to The use of any killer drones

You do remember that these people ATTACKED us, right? You're allowed to oppose the war(I also think the war should end), but don't pretend that Al Qaeda and Taliban soldiers are poor innocent bystanders being persecuted by the Great Satan. The laws of war allow you to kill enemy soldiers before they kill any of yours.

Speaking of immoral, your idea that Israelis should all go to Antarctica is highly immoral(you're talking about an ethnic cleansing more ruthless than the one that happened to Palestinians), so get off your high horse, chum.

The use of any killer drones

In reply to He didn't support "drone

The use of any killer drones is Drone Murder, there is no declared war and none of these people have attacked the US although their children might. Trying to justify murder of those we disagree with or fear puts you in the company of Cheney, Bush and Obama and on the Dark Side .a morally repugnant position. I understand that a majority of Liberals use similar excuses to justify their killer tendencies and Bernie's desire to kill less people or kill them more accurately is still immoral and sick.

The European settler state of Israel has failed, there may have been a time when they could have coexisted with Palestine but that was never their goal and they may soon pay for their arrogance and vicious nature.

With global warming parts of the continent of Antarctica may soon be habitable and it might make a safe and secure home for the Jewish State of Israel, they won't have water problems or pesky Palestinians to wall out. With rich soils and penguin poop i'm sure they would be exporting produce in no time and their drone business and Intel fabs could easily be transferred to their new home.

Maybe the hippies' way of inverting Nixon, but his departure was definitely the end of the sixties. In any case, I think common US meaning is peace, while in Australia it's FU, and the Brits originated it (?) with some story about Agincourt and archers' missing fingers.

In reply to Bernie has been very careful

He didn't support "drone murder". He said he would continue some use of drones, but would try to minimize civilian casualties. Using drones to kill combatants is no more immoral than using any other weapon to kill them. It doesn't violate the laws of war(that isn't to say that we haven't committed war crimes with the drones).

Sanders refusal to vote for the resolution endorsing the slaughter in Gaza could be seen as evidence that he isn't that hawkish(on Israel). I don't see that it was politically expedient; the politically expedient thing to do is to support Israel in everything

If the two state solution is a cop out, what solution do you support? I hope it isn't the destruction of Israel, Or maybe a binational state, which is a pipe dream.
