What questions do you ask, other than, "what does winning mean"?
OK, these will probably sound really stupid to those of us on this board but here are a few off the top of my head:
Do you know that GWB campaigned on a humble foreign policy and no nation building in 2000?
always followed by:
(911 changed everything) What did it change? Don't you think the first order of business would have been to protect our own borders, just as a homeowner would lock their doors to keep out criminals?
Did it change our Constitution?
If it were your son or daughter, wouldn't you want congress to vigorously debate going to war and make a congressional declaration of war before committing so much blood and treasure?
If "they" hate us for our freedoms, why does the government seem so intent on taking our freedoms away?
(local radio talk show host, Tony Macrini gave me a good line for the freedom issue: "they don't hate us for our freedoms, they hate us because they want to be free OF us.")
Don't you find it odd that GWB chastises other countries for not protecting their borders while our own are quite porous?
Don't you think it's strange that we're closing bases in the US and building bases overseas? (I live in a military town)
When was the last time you heard of an Iraqi suicide bomber?
If Iraq did have WMDs, how do you suppose they would get them here?
Do you know anything about the history of the Ottoman Empire?
Do you really think we can bomb a country to democracy? What about self-determination?
If someone came here and bombed our city because they thought GWB was a bad man, and if your family was killed in the process, how much would you like those people?
So Iran has nukes. So do several other countries. Why aren't we threatening them?
Don't you think a better way to bring peace is to trade with these countries? Afterall, we trade with China.
Are you aware of what Afghanistan did to the USSR economically?
Have you ever read osama bin-laden's fatwa? Are you aware that he would like to destroy the US economically?
Do you know why we aren't directly taxed to go to war? or How are we going to continue to pay for this?
