Those of us with kids in the military have chosen to be in the military. Both of my sons are US Marines and both have been in combat. It was their choice to do so, no one forced them to do so and no one has forced them to keep on re-enlisting.

When have they actually stuck around to do so? Historically it's been the US going out to help them. The only other country with international bases after the US which is barely 1% is the UK.

And you know this because you.....?

How about "they" get the hell over their backward ass medieval ways? Or even better? Keep it all to themselves and then make sure the "human rights" activists leave them alone? No need to worry about women or children in Iran or Iraq or whatever other country in the ME that is good with living in the stone age. Let them beat and shoot a woman for getting raped or toss acid on a woman for whatever her husband says she should have acid tossed in her face.

Who cares what they do?

Let 'em be backwards.

Problem is? They don't KEEP their backward ass ways to themselves.

Maybe. Hard to tell what they will do but I think Iran is smarter than Trump and won't be lured anywhere that Trump wants them to go. The head guy is a cleric, not a soldier so there will be a lot of bluster and noise. I'm sure they have contingency plans but we created a power vacuum by killing the #2 guy/military chief as well as the main Hezbollah militia guy so they might take some time sorting things out. There is always a power struggle going on.

Nope. You're are really close, but you have pinned the tail on the wrong donkey.

First, abortion: Even Russia is rethinking their abortion laws, because they, (like the u.s) are in a baby bust. Second homosexuality, I've got nothing really on that, but just that they will never accept the act, but will profess to love the actor. imo, allowing same sex to marry, will put more money into lawyers pockets, as with marriage comes divorce. I'm sure there are 'legal' benefits to the marriage, that I know nothing about, thus the push for a 'legal' pursuit, but morally, same sex marriage will never been seen as something that is ordained by God ... Which brings me to Trump and his ~ cough ~ divine self ...

The biblical story the Christian right uses to defend Trump

"Many evangelical speakers and media outlets compare Trump to Cyrus, a historical Persian king who, in the sixth century BCE, conquered Babylon and ended the Babylonian captivity, a period during which Israelites had been forcibly resettled in exile. This allowed Jews to return to the area now known as Israel and build a temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus is referenced most prominently in the Old Testament book of Isaiah, in which he appears as a figure of deliverance."


I had to look that up when Trump took office, because I was like how in the world, can they drink the koolaid ... shoot, they've got an explanation for everything. Right is Wrong, and Wrong is Right --- But if we think they'd like to bring about an apocalypse, judgement day? Nope and Christians believe Christ is going to show up, right on time; in His time.

However, Islam, would very much like to have their 12th Imam up on the scene ...

Final, when the 12th Imam was first mentioned 14 years ago, no one knew what that was ... I caught the speech of the first made mention of this 12th Imam ... back then there was very little on this, but what was said was true. Today Internet being what it is, there is a lot of miss information in circulation. Everything they do though, they do, believing it will bring their 12th Imam out of hiding ... (out of my bookmark archives; the only one not a 404)

Ahmadinejad Awaits the Hidden Imam

"At the end of his speech at the United Nations in the fall of 2005, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made an invocation to Allah to bring about the speedy reappearance of the Hidden Imam.
<snip>
The immediate question: who is this Hidden Imam to whom he referred?"


PS: Trump's ego is why he does what he does. Obama took out Laden ... Trump had to trump, Obama --- Season 3 reality t.v., I've been following along ...

The show must go on so Trump thinks up 'cute' little things to entertain with.

Sad...because this is serious stuff not some -- 52 attacks for 52 hostages........that's not how an adult in charge of a country behaves.

The general was a terrible person. THe claim is there was imminent threat to Americans.

We have to take the word of this administration because it is sickening to think they would make that up....but either way -- if there was no imminent danger before...there sure as hell is now.
