Where do you make the connection that I find Goering a deep intellectual thinker?

'"rare" it is easily accessible through logic and rational analysis.'

So said Karl Marx and the French revolutionaries, but I addressed that a little later.

"community of nations" ????

"It disgusts them that one of the byproducts of their self-sacrifice is keeping cowards like you safe from harm, but they are happy to fight for their families and for Americans who know the difference between good and evil "

Do you really want me to take this one apart? I will forgive that you are emotional about the subject but emotion is a danger to rational thought so I will leave it alone.

Just know I have friends on the frontline, too, and I hope they come home safe.

You cited his facile self-justification as some kind of worthwhile contribution to the debate.

So said Karl Marx and the French revolutionaries, but I addressed that a little later.

Marx began with the assumption that all human endeavor is reducible to economic motives and the Revolutionaries began with the assumption that social inequalities of any kind are the result of malice.

Both those base assumptions are easily refuted by ten minutes observation of actual human interaction.

People can appeal to reason, but when their analysis crumbles immediately on empirical grounds we know they have made a logical misstep.

"community of nations" ????

Nations, like individuals, often have common goals and interests. A common goal of many nations is to avoid being overrun by maniacal Islamic terrorists, and they can certainly form a community of interest around that goal. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Yet you feel comfortable undermining domestic confidence in their mission. That's not very conducive to their safety.
