But boutons, we also declared war on Germany and they didn't bomb us.

Was that an unjust war?

Apparently Ray you are stupid. To compare WWII to the unecessary war in Iraq is dumb,dumb,dumb..

Okay, Mr. Smart Guy. Why is it stupid? Cause you don't agree with
Iraq but did with war with Germany?

I always get a kick out of you people. Never, never compare wars, it
is not fair. Fair to who, you? Because it shows the stupidity of your
arguments.

Japan and Germany were part of "The Axis" - and unlike Dubya's rhetorical "Axis of Evil", these two countries were, in fact, REAL diplomatic and strategic allies against Great Britain, the Soviet Union...and after Pearl Harbor, the United States.

Really, PP. None of Bush's axis of evil never, ever coordinate their efforts. Hmmmm,
I didn't know that. Gee I thought maybe Syria and Iran and N. Korea may have
little something in common. Nawh, nothing like that. Right.

You can make a case for Syria and Iran as "strategic allies". Not so with Iraq (except in neocon fantasy constructs).

Well ray Iraq is much more like Vietnam than WWII... But Iraq will take the place of Vietnam going forward as the example of a bad decision to pick a u fight using a bad plan that cost thousands of American lives..

I've had xz on ignore for months. from his posts in this thread alone, anybody can see why.

did xz ever answer whether he was this stupid before he went in the military, or did the military alone dumb him down

Again, I don't understand why you'd come to a forum to debate and then put people on ignore. I had Boutons on ignore for a while because he drove me nuts but then I thought, you know, that's not fair to not listen to others opinions just because they differ from yours.

What fun or good would it do you if you put all the people that disagree with you on ignore? If you do this, you are just blogging and not actually discussing and debating.............Does this make Boutons a communist?

Can someone quote this for me so Boutons will see it?

No but they did declare war on you first:

December 11th: Germany and Italy declare war on the United States, United States reciprocates and declares war on Germany and Italy;
