Thread: A question on the constitution

The problem isn't 'killing them', we've killed them many times before and others come to take the place of the ones we killed.
You can't kill ideology or religious interpretation - I don't think it has ever happened in the history of the world.
The only way to destroy terrorism of any ideology is to make it unacceptable to the society and keep it suppressed with normal law enforcement means.
There was no such level of terrorism in Iraq and Syria under Saddam or Assad - you need moderately strong government. US toppled the governments that kept terrorism at bay in both of these places - it didn't even bother to complete the job in Syria and left Iraq with a weak government which was oppressive to a large compact minority. I don't think anybody understood how weak the Iraq government is and how much it is hated in the sunni areas until ISIS took over them, but I think it demonstrates rather well that just killing off bad guys and leaving doesn't really address the problem.


In honing language - you can take a worn and chipped ebay special to an escher and spend a lot of time, but you will never get it to shave properly until you solve the real problems with the appropriate tools.

Get back in there Rick Flair,,,,I mean Glenn,,, get back in there,,,,,,,

Let me just throw this in here to sort of kind of get this thread back on topic:
The disappeared: Chicago police detain Americans at abuse-laden 'black site' | US news | The Guardian
This doesn't just happen to foreigners. It's happening to Americans as well.
But hey, anything goes for the good cause eh

Btw, this reminds me of the Borat movie when he said 'We support your war of terror'

Where is the outrage???? the outcry ???Heck I see more outrage at slavery that happened 150 years ago then what is happening today being seen and bragged about on social media...

It is simply an indefensible position to argue,, and there is only one solution... Sometimes when you get called out, you actually have to step up and talking isn't an option

Stepping up....That's what a man does. These pople dont want to live in peace they want everyone to live like they do,and if you disagree with them they will kill you,simple as that. I myself don't think human beings are an endangered spices and the world would be better off without them,they most likley think the same of me,but I don't go looking for a fight,but I will if the cause is just. Also I don't want to impose my beliefs on anyone,they do,if it were in my power I would come down on them all like the hammer of God,and the world would be a better place for it. There are people who would call me a psycopath,they would be wrong.
the world could use a good enema,and they are where the nozzle should be inserted.IMHO.
PS, if they want to live in the 11th century I say we oblige them,and your right,killing some of them wont solve the problem,killing all of them might....

killing some of them wont solve the problem, killing all of them might....

Your solution certainly has the benefit of finality going for it.

Worked in pre-WWII Germany, right?

That only works if the side trying to take territory can be convinced that you're good and they want to be like you.

Not really . . . was there a lot of immigration INTO Germany during that period? Nice try though . . .

And they bankrupted themselves serving their country.

Just so we are clear, at this time, keeping people locked up in Gitmo is, in fact, constitutional at this point because no court has said that it isn't. Likewise, locking up a ton of Japanese-American citizens without anything resembling due process was found to be constitutional by the SCOTUS after the fact. Not morally right, but constitutional. Carry on.

Funniest thing I have seen in quite some time,, You might have seen this already but it was the first time I read it today


Isn't it about time somebody turned ISIS into WASWAS

Now stop laughing and return to your debate..
