There is no nation or army that can defeat the US. I have acquiantances in the military and all of them said that the way the media portrays IRAQ is completly inaccurate. And this is coming from people who have spent over 6months there.
LOL :wtf: :wtf:

It's that sort of thinking which got things here in the first place.
I'm not saying that countries should be allowed to treat their citizens however they want, or that I necessarily disagree with you. I am saying that what is done for the sake of 'freedom' and 'democracy' brings people even farther from it.
Democracy is not the end-all be-all of how Governments should be run and, if history fulfills itself as it has so many, many times in the past, the 'fight' for such a thing will never bring bout peace. If peace is possible, it is most certainly not brought about by war. I don't care what dead people might claim. It does not work that way, and it never has.
Stop letting the people who have everything to gain from sending young people to die for 'democracy' lead you to believe what logic is and isn't.

I also think that the concept of "democracy" is far too young and untested to be considered the best method for a government. America is only 200 (+/- a few) years old. Sure it may have seemed like a great idea at first, but look at how ing corrupt the system has become now. To think that one concept of government is the right government for different civilizations with differing overall beliefs is utter bull.

On behalf of US citizens who have at least half a bit of sense, I would like to apologize for that post. Please note we had nothing to do with it.

I'm glad you see things that way, because if America embarks on this little expedition the draft will most likely be brought back and you will be able to see for yourself. Unless your "patriotism" leads you to Canada.

This is how I read it:
^My dad is already stressed with you your dad? Dude, let me tell you something. My dad is capable of beating every single dad in the world without the use of WMD's. There is no dad that can defeat my dad. I have acquiantances at my school and all of them said that the way the media portrays other dads is completly inaccurate. And this is coming from people who have spent over 6months with those other dads.
:D

Well, it's a rather exaggerated sounding account, but the ninth chapter of Revelation describes a 200 million man army destroying 1/3 of mankind. The book also speaks of "the kings of the east" uniting to make war on Israel. The Euphrates river is supposed to be dried up so they can advance, and I believe Turkey built a damn which would enable this to happen.
But, on the flip side of all those arguments, you can read those verses and make them apply to damned near any time and place or nothing at all, even. It all comes down to a matter of personal beliefs, I suppose.
From there, things get worse, of course. Montaigne suggests that Muslim armies will see their first big victory over Spain. Soon after, Rome will be destroyed with nuclear weapons, forcing the Pope to relocate:
For seven days the great star will burn,
The cloud shall make two suns to appear:
The big mastiff will howl all night
When the great pontiff changes country.
Montaigne interprets Nostradamus to say that even Israel will be defeated in this war led by bin Laden and later Saddam Hussein, both of whom, he says, are the Antichrist. The war goes in favor of the Eastern forces (Muslims, China and Poland) for awhile until the Western allies are joined by Russia and are finally victorious around the year 2012:
When those of the arctic pole are united together,
In the East great dread and fear:
Newly elected, supporting the great trembling,
Rhodes, Byzantium with Barbarian blood stained.
Ironically The Mayan calendar ends on 2012 (see wikipedia) and at the same time NASA says that the gravitational force of sun would flip causing a solar storm in 2012 (http://science.slashdot.org/article...7/03/21/1229247)...
You really shouldn't explain to idiots. Let them wallow in their stupidity.

This is the article:
quote:
"`This week researchers announced that a storm is coming — the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). "The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one," she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.`
`Dikpati's forecast puts Solar Max at 2012. Hathaway believes it will arrive sooner, in 2010 or 2011.`
So you're using something that should be LESS powerful than something the human race has already survived no less than 50 years ago as evidence of this great "end"?
