Re: German Greens and Afghanistan (4.00 / 4)

By ceasing their support for a mission which is not accomplishing anything the greens are showing that they are not 'serious' party anymore.

Serious people always support war. It is a difficult choice to support war, which provides ample ground to ponder on one's seriousness in doing so.

Re: German Greens and Afghanistan (4.00 / 2)

Serious people always support war.

As Gabor Steingart the born-again neocon says,

Irak-Abzug: Mein Berlin, ihr Bagdad - Politik - SPIEGEL ONLINE - Nachrichten

Wenn John F. Kennedy während der Berlin-Krise auf Meinungsumfragen gehört hätte, wären die USA rasch abgezogen. Diese alte amerikanische Standfestigkeit wünscht sich Gabor Steingart auch im Irak - und er fordert: durchhalten, gemeinsam geduldig sein.

Had John F. Kennedy listened to opinion polls during the Berlin crisis [Sowiet blockade of West Berlin], the USA would have withdrawn quickly. Gabor Steingart wishes to see this old American steadfastness in Iraq, too - and he demands: keep it up, be patient together.

*Traitor*, n.
A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
