Let's Play....."Find the War Mongers"

Once upon a time there was state-sponsored hostage-taking of people serving in the American Embassy in Iran. A response was required. Eventually the military was brought in. Was this response war mongering? Maybe we should round up a few partisans and ask them to help us play FIND THE WAR MONGERS.

Once upon a time there were brutal nightclub bombings and other acts of state-sponsored terrorism going on in Europe. Many of these actions targeted Americans there. This aggression had to be stopped. A response was required.Was the response war mongering? Let's ask some of the partisans.

Once upon a time there was a horrific practice of systematic mass murder called “ethnic cleansing” in Bosnia. It was unrelenting genocide. The butchering had to be stopped. A response was required by civilization. Was the response war mongering? Maybe we should ask the partisans.

Once upon a time there was an attack on the World Trade Center towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington. A fourth plane was downed in Pennsylvania by citizens on board because a response was required. Were their actions war mongering? When it became clear the masterminds of these mass murders were living in Afghanistan a response was required. Was the response war mongering? Let's ask the partisans.

Once upon a time there were mass murders of thousands of Kurdish people in Iraq. Poison gas was used on the citizens and the genocide was so widespread bodies were dumped into mass graves. Eventually the same perpetrator defied U.N. resolutions calling for weapons inspections to verify the absence of weapons of mass destruction. He had to be stopped. A response was required. Was the response war mongering? Let's ask the partisans.
In recent years two different U.S. Commanders in Chief acted on their plans for troop surges. One surge was in Iraq and the other was in Afghanistan. Were those responsible for ordering the implementation of these surge plans war mongers? Let's ask the partisans.

Once upon a time not long ago (yesterday) there was an aging dictator in Libya. When facing armed rebellion he resorted to brutal atrocities against his own people. Something had to be done. Air strikes and Tomahawk missiles were fired. Was the response war mongering? Should we ask the partisans? Some of these U.S. Commanders in Chief who responded with military action were terribly immoral war mongers. And of course some of the others were just making difficult decisions and doing the right thing. How can we tell which of these individuals were war mongers and which ones had motivations that were pure?  It is pretty simple really.

Thank goodness we have partisans and the media to help us. All we have to do is check the level of each Commander in Chief's commitment to anti-business practices and pro-socialism practices. If the Commander in Chief in question was (or is) inclined to be in favor of policies supporting free markets and slowing the growth of government intrusion in our lives, it is obvious....these types are war mongers. However, if some of these Commanders was (or is) in favor of increasing the population's dependency on government while supporting greater confiscation of private sector freedoms, these types are NOT war mongers. In fact, they may well be so embracing of "peace" in their hearts they were actually awarded Nobel Peace Prizes. For you see, that those on the Nobel committees prefer to identify with a U.S. Commander in Chief's views on things besides, well, um, uh, "peace." Hopefully this clears everything up on the war monger question. Now we can all sit back and enjoy the peace, hope, and change and be better prepared the next time somebody wants to get out the board game and play: "FIND THE WAR MONGERS."
