Our job is to be a Democratic Republic. True to our Constitution. We should live according to the laws of our nation. We have an obligation to act Constitutional to others and follow the international laws that we have agreed to follow.

We should not be world police, but act with others to aide nations that ask for our help. There are always exceptions, but this is generally what I believe.

like genocide?

Trade with other nations should be done with the welfare of all Americans in mind and not just corporate America.

We should not go into war alone, unless we are attacked on our own soil or our neighbors are attacked and we feel our safety is threatened.

afghanistan neighbors pakistan and pakistan has nuclear weapons that we need to keep out of the hands of terrorists...qed restore order to afghanistan and keep al qaeda out of afghanistan and pakistan
I have always believed that you can not be a moral beacon unless you have your own house in order. This is the reason I have never set myself up as an example to anyone.

I have flaws in abundance and am trying to improve everyday of my life. I would never presume to tell someone else how to conduct their affairs, unless they come and ask advice and even then, I always give it with cautions that in life there are so many things that change a course of action, so you basically have to be informed, and then go with your gut! What works for me isn't necessarily going to work for them.

I like live and let live. as long they do not bother me i will leave them alone, otherwise killing them is self defense

my motto is do unto others before they can do unto me

my morality is not to do unto others without their permission or unless i need to...

if you mean war, in that case we have committed genocide in both afghanistan and iraq, not to mention vietnam, korea, wwii and wwi just to mention a few, actually more than 3000 in all of the above

please remember than palestine periodically fires rockets into isreal...what would the u s of a population demand if another nation did such to us

i did not call it genocide...in fact i think that i said that it did not rise to the level of genocide


"While precise [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_definitions"]definition varies among genocide scholars[/ame], a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal"]legal[/ame] definition is found in the 1948 [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations"]United Nations[/ame] [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_the_Prevention_and_Punishment_of_the_Crime_of_Genocide"]Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide[/ame] (CPPCG). Article 2 of this convention defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation"]national[/ame], [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicity"]ethnical[/ame], racial or [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion"]religious[/ame] group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

THE 'IN PART' or MEMBERS verbage may mean anything from one to all as neither 'in part' nor 'members' is not quantified...hence any nation that boycotts or even casts aspersions on another may be deemed to have committed genocide
 
Don obvious ly they do nt have any problem with the drunken sailor spending, they just do not want to pay for it.

Probably the same thing we would have done if a radical religious group claimed manhattan because "god gave it to them". Shrug.

god did not give it to them, the western powers that won wwii did

the area occupied by the israelis due to a war that the arabs started, by western tradition, can be kept
