Originally posted by Comrade Stalin You haven't stated anything but the obvious. Who doesn't think Hitler was a genocidal megalomaniac dictator?

I at no time wrote anything like that, because it is not relevant. Try to read what it says, then maybe you'll see the point.

quote:

The truth? Lol. What are you, some spiritual leader?

Yes, I am a spiritual leader. It is only spiritual leaders, who prefer not to be lied to and about in a debate.

quote:

News flash, the military didn't decide to invade Iraq, it was the government of George W. Bush.

Relevance? This still is not about the cause of the war, but about the military covering up incidents that should not be covered up.

Again I must point out that just because you think another issue is more important (not to go to war in the first place) does not mean that we can not talk about this issue.

quote:

Right, I'm supposed to keep my cool when you're calling me a liar in almost every one of your posts.

Feel free to comment what i write, just do not speak about me personally - it's childish, irrelevant, and makes it clear that you can not argue.

I say you're lying purely because you're lying. You say things that are not true, and things you can not possibly not know, are untrue, if you've read even half of what I wrote. That is the definition of a lie.

quote:

Then that obviously isn't a war, is it?

If a country surrenders without ever having been in a struggle, is that war?
We can call it that. But then you are just even more wrong. It was me who mistakenly called it war, though i do not think it is, and therefore i withdrew my own words.

If the definition of war is correct - and I'd love to see a source on your definition - does not change anything.

quote:

Amazing you actually think in war, innocent people dying is at all, "not inevitable". Defies logic.

What are you saying here? Are you saying that I believe war is inevitable that innocent deaths can be avoided or something else?

quote:

Premeditated lie? LOL, wtf?! Get a grip.

When you repeat an assertion i just have stated was untrue, then it is indeed again the definition of it. If you do not like to have your falsehoods identified, as i perfectly understand, then dont bring them in the first place.

Alternatively, if you really do not think you're lying, would you be so kind to point to the post where i expressed that i expect soldiers to have perfect judgement at all times, as you claimed?

quote:

But the fact of the matter is, no matter how precise your missiles are, no matter how much care you put into it, in a full scale war, many people are going to die regardless.

So your only argument is still to repeat what we agree on and what I've told you many times that we agree on, that some civilian deaths are inevitable?

We have been through this many times now. Civilian deaths are inevitable, but we still have to keep them as rare as possible.

Until you actually comment on the topic, instead of just keeping on repeating the same irrelevant argument over and over again we will get nowhere.
You could just as well respond to everything I say with "Yes, yes, but 2 +2 = 4". I know - but it has nothing to do with it.
