November 14, 200817 yr Who knows? :lol: Seriously...there have only been 5 declared wars in American history: The War of 1812 The Mexican-American War The Spanish-American War World War I World War II Someone has been listening. :lol:
November 14, 200817 yr Ok fine then, when was the last time Chicago was declared a "mission zone"?, and no Churches doing mission work in the city does not count. Well, if you're going to put so many rules in this, I'm not going to play!
November 14, 200817 yr Someone has been listening. :lol: Yes, I've been listening, but I did my own research to find out which were "real" wars.
November 14, 200817 yr Why do I have to project a certain level of "concern" about crime victims in U.S. cities to legitimately question misguided U.S. foreign policy and its human and monetary costs? Again, this line of argument is a non-sequitur. Your primary concern isn't focused on American deaths. Otherwise Chicago would be a higher concern than Iraq since more deaths are ocurring in Chicago than in Iraq. Your primary concern is denegrating Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq. Which is why you asked why any Americans should die in Iraq but neglected to ask the same question about Chicago. My "infantile" response was simply an abrupt way of pointing that out.
November 14, 200817 yr Yes, I've been listening, but I did my own research to find out which were "real" wars. You could have asked.
November 14, 200817 yr You could have asked. You'd have given me a dissertation on each of the wars, and all the intervening undeclared wars, and really....I just wanted to know the 5.
November 14, 200817 yr You'd have given me a dissertation on each of the wars, and all the intervening undeclared wars, and really....I just wanted to know the 5. Awwww you're no fun.
November 14, 200817 yr Awwww you're no fun. Maybe over pizza, you can entertain me with all the facinating details. :lol:
November 15, 200817 yr Well, if you're going to put so many rules in this, I'm not going to play! Gave over! :dancingpa
November 15, 200817 yr Says who, the media... because I know they've been supportive of the war for quite sometime now. Everyone I know that's been over there friends and family, say it's better in alot of way. I'll take their words over a new anchor with an agenda. No, Iraqi's, who LIVE there.
November 15, 200817 yr No, Iraqi's, who LIVE there. Oh and you've talked directly to these Iraqi people who live there? On what AIM, Myspace?
November 15, 200817 yr No, Iraqi's, who LIVE there. How about the ones that my son works with every day? They're grateful for his presence.
November 15, 200817 yr Americans killed in Iraq during 2008: 290 Americans killed in Chicago during 2008: 446 What exactly is your point here?
November 15, 200817 yr Your primary concern isn't focused on American deaths. Otherwise Chicago would be a higher concern than Iraq since more deaths are ocurring in Chicago than in Iraq. Your primary concern is denegrating Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq. Which is why you asked why any Americans should die in Iraq but neglected to ask the same question about Chicago. My "infantile" response was simply an abrupt way of pointing that out. 100% of the American deaths in Iraq are the direct result of a policy decision. It is a silly argument to compare that to inevitable, random violence in a city of nearly 3 million people.
