#1 Firearms are not out of control in the US, FACT

#2 Iraq was going to get screwed with one way or another and the only thing I disagree with is the strategy, we fought with one hand tied behind our backs and we have continued to do so.

Why don't you civilian loving assholes check out what happened to civilians in World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam and if Iraq or Afghanistan even comes CLOSE to any one of those then I'll concede my view and declare you the winner of this debate
1. Gun crimes are out of control, the US has far too many guns and people dying because of guns. I live in a city where there are no guns. NOBODY gets shot here. You don't need guns. I find most of the arguments supporting the case for firearms to be a rather sad reflection on a disintegrated US society than anything else.

2. I don't understand this argument at all. You offer no attempt to justify the illegal invasion.

You have invaded a country for no legitimate reason besides geo-political influence and access to oil. People have every right to be agrieved that you have invaded for that and then gone on to wipe out upwards of half a million people. You had no right to be there in the first place. Like I have said before, watch out as it all comes back to bite you. America is LESS safe because of these conquests. You now have the intellectuals who are frowning upon American policy and you also have a lot more people who have lost loved ones who see America as the big bad devil. The threat of terrorist attacks will have been increased by this.
